The best way to package a Python module?

js
Hi list,

I'm trying to build a package for python modules.
When I just wanted to have a package for Python2.5, this is an easy task,
but in most cases, it's not enough.
Sometimes I need python2.4, 2.5, 2.6 or 3.0 etc.

The problem is coming from the fact that python installs its modules
into version-independent place as follow.

$prefix/lib/python2.4/site-package/
$prefix/lib/python2.5/site-package/

For this, I have to create a package for each version.
Let's say if I need a module called "spam" and installed spam with python2.5.
The files would be installed in $prefix/lib/python2.5/site-package/.
It only usable from python2.5.

When I need it for python2.4, I have to prepare the same package for python2.4,
the only difference is the place it installed.

This is the problem I'm having now.
How can I avoid this redundant work?
Any advice, suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

This is a simple question about actual practice. I just want to know how you (yes you) are approaching this problem. The problem: What is the recommended packaging of demo scripts or test scripts for a package to be distributed to others to "play with". (I.e., without "installing".)

Hi all, I am new to using packages to group my modules. I can't figure out how to run a module that uses relative imports without writing a wrapper that imports that module. Everything I try it complains that I am attempting a relative import in a non-package. eg ~/python/testpackage$ ls config.py importer.py __init__.py

What would heavy python unit testers say is the best framework? I've seen a few mentions that maybe the built in unittest framework isn't that great. I've heard a couple of good things about py.test and nose. Are there other options? Is there any kind of concensus about the best, or at least how they stack up to each other? Brendan
