New submission from Saba Kauser <skauserib...@gmail.com>:
HI, I am using get_python_lib() to copy certain data files to site-pacakges location while installation of package ibm_db. I am using this function to execute a command as well on one of the shared library @package install location. So far, I have faced issue with this function in: virtual env, anaconda python and with pip cache enabled. The source can be found at: https://github.com/ibmdb/python-ibmdb/blob/master/IBM_DB/ibm_db/setup.py#L242 When I run through debugger for python setup.py build command, I can see following: (Pdb) p data_files [('C:\\Users\\skauser\\Anaconda\\Lib\\site-packages', ['./README.md']), ('C:\\Users\\skauser\\Anaconda\\Lib\\site-packages', ['./CHANGES']), ('C:\\Users\\skauser\\Anaconda\\Lib\\site-packages', ['./LICENSE']), ('C:\\Users\\skauser\\Anaconda\\Lib\\site-packages', ['./config.py.sample'])] However, in "python setup.py install", this folder structure is created: C:\Users\skauser\Anaconda\Lib\site-packages\users\skauser\appdata\local\programs\python\python37\Lib and no data files are copied. If I do : "pip install ." from source directory, The data_files are copied under "c:\users\skauser\anaconda\lib\site-packages\users\skauser\anaconda\lib\site-packages" when the expectation is to have the files copied under "c:\users\skauser\anaconda\lib\site-packages". Can you please look into this. Although this is not a serious problem for platforms other than mac, But on MAC, I am using this same function get_python_lib()to execute a system command and without this working properly, MAC users are unable to use the python ibm_db driver. This is blocking! Please help. ---------- components: Distutils messages: 347612 nosy: dstufft, eric.araujo, sabakauser priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: get_python_lib() returns incorrect path for site-packages type: behavior versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.5, Python 3.6, Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37541> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
