How to override distutils install?

I would like to override the distutils install class. It doesn't look like
it was designed for that. Do I have to import distutils.comma nd and
overwrite its install attribute? I didn't see anything about this sort of
thing in the distutils docs.

Thx,

Skip

Supply a cmd_class argument to setup(), like this:

setup(name = ...,
cmdclass = {'build_py': qx_build_py},
)

qx_build_py is a Command subclass that will be used in place of the default
build_py target.

Much appreciated. I'll see if there's something missing in the docs or if
I just missed what is already there.

Hi! I just started playing around with Distutils and there is one thing I could use some help with. I'm wondering if there is some convenient way to access the directories where the data_files was installed? -- Johan Svedberg, johan@svedberg.pp.se, http://johan.svedberg.pp.se/

The predominant operating system in my workplace is Solaris, with a bit of Linux and MacOS X thrown in.

Some time ago, I got the idea that I wanted to build image resources from vector graphic originals, instead of marshalling hundreds of tiny little icon images by hand. I wrote "BuildImage" to do this for me, and so far, it works very well, so I'm trying to make it easier to use and available to more developers. There is a brief (and somewhat dated) tutorial explaining what BuildImage itself does at:

Python 2.4 is built with Microsoft Visiual C++ 7. This means that it uses msvcr7.dll, which *isn't* a standard part of the windows operating system. This means that if you build a windows installer using distutils - it *requires* msvcr7.dll in order to run. This is true even if your package is a pure python package. This means that when someone tries to use a windows installer created with Python 2.4, on a machine with only python 2.3 - it...

Hi folks, I'm looking at packaging a project I'm working on using distutils. The project is for Windows and contains a COM server which needs registration, so the installer needs to be a little more complicated than usual. Looking at the options for the bdist_wininst command to distutils, I see it's possible to specify --install-script=<myinstallscript> which ought to do the trick. But to use this, myinstallscript itself must first be...

is there anyway I can, in a setup.py file, set and internal equivalent to the '--install-scripts' commandline option? script installation directory but I don't want on the command line where things can go horribly wrong if the user forgets. I would like to create a new default setting for this commandline option as well as a couple of other such as the data default directory. --- eric

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
