Hi, I have created a distutils setup.py script that installs a list of packages (all subpackages of one main package). Some packages have package_data files (icons, translations, etc).
Running setup.py install on my Linux system (python 2.6) perfectly installs all package data, but on Windows (tested with both 2.6 and 2.7) the package_data is not installed at all. Also not picked up in build, or bdist_wininst, etc. Only the Python files in the packages are installed. The setup.py file can be seen at https://github.com/wbsoft/frescobaldi/blob/master/setup.py I later added the package_dir incantation, but it doesn't help on Windows and on Linux it worked perfectly without. Does anybody have a clue why Python distutils on Windows ignore the package_data? (Note: sdist perfectly works as the data files are also listed in MANIFEST.in) tia, Wilbert Berendsen -- http://www.wilbertberendsen.nl/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
