I have written an extension (a.k.a. plugin or add-on, not C-extension) system for my application and I'm going to ship two extensions with it. Each extension is in a directory of its own and that directory contains Python files and various data files, e.g. Glade XML files and PNG icons.
Where should I install these extension directories on a Unix system? $PREFIX/share/foo or $PREFIX/lib/foo? How do I handle compiling with distutils if installing Python code outside the default site-packages directory? Importing these extensions is handled by listing the contents of the extension directory and using __import__ on the specified files, so the installation directory does not need to be anywhere near $PYTHONPATH. -- Osmo Salomaa <otsal...@cc.hut.fi> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
