I have a python installation on an NFS server that
supports both Linux and BSD systems. When configuring
python, I set prefix to /python/python_common and
exec-prefix to /python/python_<OS> where <OS> is
either Linux or FreeBSD depending on where I run
configure, make, and make install.
It works great!
Next was installing PyXml. After running the
appropriate python setup.py [build/install], I noticed
that PyXML stuff always go to the exec_prefix
directory, including .py files. I expected those
.py files to go to python_common and not the
OS specific directory.
In other words, I expected .py files to go to
python_common/lib/python2.1/site-packages/_xmlplus
and exec_prefix related stuff to
python_<OS>/lib/python2.1/site-packages/_xmlplus
or better, to
python_<OS>/lib/python2.1/lib-dynload
Is this the way it's supposed to be?
Is this a distutils or PyXML problem?
Should I do things differently?
Thanks in advance for your reply.
