I too would like to see a meatier discussion of best practices for python packagizing. I particularly object to jcalderone's suggestion that all tests should be within the package. Often my test cases are 100 times the size of the code, if you include sample data -- it doesn't make sense to install it, I think. Lately I tend to have something like root/ setup.py README.txt packagename/ main source modules submodules... test/ test code and submodules doc/ scripts/ testdata/ demos/ etcetera... I have no real idea if this is a good way to do it, but it works for me in isolation. I'm completely confused about any implications related to integrated system testing or "easyinstall"... Wise, pragmatic advice would be appreciated. (But if we could avoid the "buzzillion directories" approach prevalent in the java alternative universe, that would be nice.) -- Aaron Watters === Now we see the violence inherent in the system!
