Dear all,
Can anyone point me to a resource that describes the best way of
organising a python project? My project (gausssum.sf.net) is based
around a class, and has a GUI that allows 'easy-access' to the methods
of the class. What is the best or typical directory structure that
allows the easy creation of binary packages for linux and windows,
source distributions, etc.
Rather than make up my own way, I'd prefer to know if there is a
typical python way...

Here's what I've settled on for windows. This also keeps my src dir
clean and separate form all the additional install files needed. I don't
use automatic version control or CVS yet, but this seems to work well
enough for me. You could probably just add the neccisary script to
create linux distribution as well.
projectname <- main project directory
projectname1 <- version dir
dist <- py2exe output dir
docs <- addition documents, license, etc, dir
icons <- icons file(s) for exe file dir
src <- stand alone python source dir
notes <- addition development notes dir
Output <- inno setup output dir
makeexe.py <- py2exe script
pack.iss <- inno setup script
projectname2 <- next version...
... # copy the previous version to start.
...
Below is my basic py2exe script. You'll need to change it to suite your
own needs of course. The rmtree is my own module to remove directories
and contents. The newest version of py2exe I think does a better job of
cleaning up I think.
Cheers,
Ron
