Michał Górny added the comment: Well, I don't see much relevance between the two bugs, to be honest :). I think this bug is more of a symptom of a deeper issue with the way distutils is installing files.
But the issue is causing repeating issues for our users, and I don't really know what is the best way of at least helping our users avoid them. If there were an agreement that this specific behavior of distutils is unintended, we can prepare a patch. I don't really want to diverge from the 'upstream' behavior in Gentoo just to fix our issue, and I don't really see another good way of fixing it. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18201> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
