distutils help

[Mathieu Malaterre]

Hello,

I thought this would be easy but I guess I didn't get the distutil
feeling. I am trying to write a setup for install my package but I don't
understand how to do that.

organisation:

setup.py
/bin/
gdcm.py
_gdcm.so
libvtkgdcmPython.so
/gdcmPython/
gdcm.pth
How do you specify setup you want to install library ? Do you use
'data_files' ? Same thing for gdcm.pth is this a 'data_files' also ?

Thanks
Mathieu

What is the purpose of DISTUTILS_DEBUG, if I set it to one, I cannot get
anything to run ?

For instance:

"""
from distutils.core import setup

import glob

thefiles = []
for afile in glob.glob('datadir/*'):
if afile.endswith('.not'): continue
thefiles.append(afile)

print "Packaging up", thefiles

setup(name='justdata', data_files = [ [ 'foodir', thefiles ] ] )
"""

Here's an example of how this works:

[alex@lancelot tryp]$ ls datadir
aa.yes bb.not cc.yes
[alex@lancelot tryp]$ python setup.py bdist
Then try it with

export DISTUTILS_DEBUG=1

I get:

Packaging up ['bin/libgdcmijpeg8.so', 'bin/libgdcmijpeg12.so',
'bin/libgdcmljpeg.so', 'bin/libgdcm.so', 'bin/libvtkgdcm.so',

Could someone please fix the documentation saying that one should not
use it.
