resource correctly.

Note: the actual package data is the athena_private directory in the nevow package, not the files in the non-existant nevow.athena_private package.

This change does fix setuptools behaviour, but now distutils no longer works. I gues someone who knows more about distutils and setuptools than I do needs to figure this one out; I originally added the non-existent nevow.athena_private package because that was the only way that seemed to work for distutils. Argh!

Yeah, you're right. Sorry about that, although I did try it out here and it seemed ok. Obviously, I had something lurking in sys.path.

Perhaps we need to make athena_private a real package? Perhaps it's a setuptools bug?

It doesn't quite seem like setuptools's fault to me - why should setuptools include *package* data from something that's not a package. On the other hand, setuptools should probably copy what distutils does.

Any suggestions?

Actually, this seems to be a problem with the package_data to data_files stuff in setup.py to support Python 2.3. setuptools and distutils (from Python 2.4) do actually do the right thing. - Matt -- __ / \__ Matt Goodall, Pollenation Internet Ltd \__/ \ w: http://www.pollenation.net __/ \__/ e: matt@pollenation.net / \__/ \ t: +44 (0)113 2252500 \__/ \__/ / \ Any views expressed are my own and do not necessarily \__/ reflect the views of my employer.
