Is there a straightforward way to tell distutils to merge .py files from more than one source directory into a single package when installing?
PyGUI consists of some generic modules and some platform specific ones, that conceptually all live at the same level within a single package. In the source, there is a subdirectory for each platform containing the platform-dependent files. When run from the source, __path__ manipulation is done to make the appropriate platform subdirectory appear to be part of the main package. However, when installing, I would like to just copy the generic files plus the relevant platform ones directly into the destination package directory, so that __path__ fiddling is not needed. This is so that bundling tools such as py2app and py2exe can find all the relevant modules without requiring any hacking. But distutils doesn't appear to support this. Unless I'm missing something, you only get to specify one source directory for each package. Anyone have any ideas for getting around this? -- Greg -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
