Hello,
The FAQ has this weird statement:
“This specification does not have an opinion on how you should organize your code. The .data directory is just a place for any files that are not normally installed inside site-packages or on the PYTHONPATH.”
But, say, if I want to install some init script to /etc/init.d by using distutils' data_files argument:
setup.py(..., data_files=[('/etc/init.d', ['my-init-script'])] )
How is it stored and represented by the wheel format?
Regards
Antoine.
Distutils' "data" category in a wheel package-1.0.data/data/ directory usually maps to / (or the root of the virtualenv). Your init script would probably wind up in there.
