Actually you probably want to look at describing the .pyd as an Extension. Then you can even give distutils the instructions to build it, and as a side effect you can install it to the right locationI am writing a setup.py for my package. I have a pre-compiled myextmod.pyd file in my package and I want the distutils to automatically copy it to C:\Python23\Lib\site-packages\mypackage\myextmod.pyd.
I try to add the following parameter to setup():
data_file = [('mypackage', ['mypackage/myextmod.pyd'])],
but it installs the pyd file to C:\Python23\mypackage\myextmod.pyd, this is not what I want.
And I don't want to specify the path in data_file to the absolution path 'C:\Python23\Lib\site-packages\mypackage', for portability, of course.
Any hints?
This may not be what you want though
