Was hoping someone could take a quick look at my distutils problem and give it a quick sanity check.
Basically I have a server application (for Linux) that I want to install to /usr/local/<server directory>, this location would have subdirectories for the daemon scripts, log files, plugins etc. After reading a bunch of distutils documentation it appears that the only good way out of this is to have my packages install to the system wide site-packages directory. Then using the data_files command in setup.py have it copy across an initial skeleton copy of the server directory and finally install the startup scripts. Does this sound correct, any other suggestions? The distutils documentation doesn't cover this scenario and I've spent days searching for information so any assistance is greatly appreciated. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
