I'm building python extension for some solaris specific functions. My setup.py looks like this:
setup.py: from distutils.core import setup, Extension sol_ex = Extension('sun.solaris', ['src/solarismodule.c', ]) setup (name = "solaris", version = "0.1", description = "Solaris specifics system calls module", ext_modules = [ sol_ex ], After doing the 'python setup.py build' successfuly, I setup a test script that looks like the following : test.py: import sun.solaris After setting the PYTHONPATH to ./build/lib.solaris-2.9-sun4u-2.3 and running the test.py, I got the following: Traceback (most recent call last): File "test.py", line 1, in ? import sun.solaris ImportError: No module named sun.solaris It turns out that in addition to solaris.so, I also need __init__.py (manually created) in ./build/lib.solaris-2.9-sun4u-2.3 to make the extension works. My question is how do I automate the creation (in setup.py) of __init__.py so that when I build the extension, it will also creates __init__.py in the build directory?
