I'd like to override the default
d:\Python23\Lib \site-packages\
destination, at least as an option. I have used installshield in the past,
which gives extensive control over just about everything, if you want to go
to the trouble. Is "the trouble" in this case modifying distutils?
Non un-related BTW (/rant ;-):
when I want to set up foo, I'd like to type
setup foo
or maybe
python setup.py -some -opts foo
but I really dislike the idea of setup.py being something foo-specific
that I write. I should be able to do setup foo and setup bar in the
same directory if I want to. IMO it's like creating a make.py or gcc.py
for each foo, bar, or whatever, and having to do it in separate directories
just to avoid name clash. Ick.
Generic tool names should invoke generic functionality IMO. I'd like foo.mak and
foo.cfg etc. to be where foo-specific stuff goes. If there needs to be separate
options for admin and plain user, then the admin context foo config can specify
how/whether to handle the rest and the rules for where to look.

Bengt Richter

You could modify PC/bdist_wininst/install.c, i.e. the two instances of
SCHEME. Alternatively, you can just modify the file names in the zip
file to not refer to PURELIB resp. PLATLIB anymore.

Hi,
currently I'm trying to create a pgsql backend for the roundup issue
tracker using the mysql backend as a template (is somebody aware of
such a thing? I couldn't find one). The author has written a config.py
as many authors do. From the programmer's perspective this is a satis-
factory solution: he can use his favourite language and put complex
structures into the configuration. From the sysadmin's perspective this
is not so...

Hi NG!
I have a class A that should store a vector of pointers to objects of class
B.
But class B contains a template argument and each of the stored objects in
class A could have a different template argument. So i need a way to store
an array of template objects in a non-template class. Obviously this wont
work
cause a can`t tell the compiler which template argument to use.
So whats the usual way to solve such a situation?

Ok, I wanted to ask this separate from nospam's ridiculous thread in hopes

VB6 had a some simple and fast mechanisms for retrieving values from basic

I understand the benefits of XML, really, but in the case of configuration
files it seems it is almost always nothing more than unnecessary complexity,

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,...
