distutils: newbie questions about installing files to desired directories...

Sat Oct 11 04:01:05 EDT 2003

Please help with newbie problems installing files
into right directories.

My source code is in $HOME/hitv2/src directory.

In $HOME/hitv2/setup.py I tried package = ["src"]
and package_dir = {"" : "src"} at various times.

Q1:
How can I get files in src to be installed into
  /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/hitv2   instead of
  /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/src  or /usr/src  ???

Q2:
In setup.py I have something like this:
   data_files = [ ("???/data", ["data/*"]) ]

What should "???" be equal to if I want these data files
to go into /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/hitv2/data ???

(If "???/data" = "data" then files go into /usr/data!!?!?)
