[Distutils] Installing a file into sitepackages

[Stuart Axon]

Hi,
   In my project, I install a .pth file into site-packages, I use the data_files...  in Ubuntu this seems to work OK, but in a Windows VM the file doesn't seem to be being installed:

setup( 
   ....
   # Install the import hook
    data_files=[
        (site_packages_path, ["vext_importer.pth"] if environ.get('VIRTUAL_ENV') else []),
    ],
)


- Is there a better way to do this ?



I realise it's a bit odd installing a .pth - my project is to allow certain packages to use the system site packages from a virtualenv -
