New submission from Jason Orendorff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: On my Mac, /usr/local/bin/python2.5 is a symlink to "../../../Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/bin/python2.5".
When I install Mercurial from source, the "mercurial" package is installed at "/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/mercurial", so the installation is broken. Since "site-packages" appears nowhere in the Mercurial source tree, I think it's setuptools (not Mercurial) that is getting this wrong. Mercurial's setup.py can be seen here: (as of this writing) http://hg.intevation.org/mercurial/crew/file/628da4a91628/setup.py (the latest) http://hg.intevation.org/mercurial/crew/file/tip/setup.py I'm not sure what the Right Thing would be, but if it's agreed that the current behavior is a hack, then `(p for p in sys.path if p.endswith('site-packages')).next()`, falling back to the current behavior, seems like a better hack. Happy to patch, if someone can advise me; MvL? ---------- components: Distutils messages: 65527 nosy: jorendorff severity: normal status: open title: setuptools gets site-packages wrong on Mac versions: Python 2.4, Python 2.5 __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2641> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
