New submission from Steven Bethard <steven.beth...@gmail.com>: I just ran "setup.py bdist_msi" with NLTK which is a pure Python package. You can see the setup.py here: http://code.google.com/p/nltk/source/browse/trunk/nltk/setup.py. Despite the fact that NLTK is pure Python, the generated .msi's look like nltk-0.9.8.win32-py2.5.msi and nltk-0.9.8.win32-py2.6.msi (built with Python 2.5 and 2.6 respectively).
So, two questions: (1) are the version numbers supposed to be there? and (2) if so, does that mean a .msi for a pure Python package built by Python 2.6 won't work on any other version? ---------- assignee: tarek components: Distutils messages: 82455 nosy: bethard, tarek severity: normal status: open title: bdist_msi generates version number for pure Python packages type: behavior versions: Python 2.5, Python 2.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5311> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
