Refereeing #9967 has turned into implementing some of its key features, and I need to know more about how the Sage library is built by SAGE_ROOT/devel/sage/setup.py.
I know that it creates a symlink from SAGE_ROOT/local/lib/python/site-packages to a build directory. What I eventually want is for the build process to not create a symlink and go straight to that directory, but in the meantime, I see that SAGE_ROOT/devel/sage/build has three directories which each seem to include a copy of the Sage library: dr...@sagenb:~/s/sage-4.6/devel/sage-main/build$ du -s -h * 147M lib.linux-x86_64-2.6 182M sage 168M temp.linux-x86_64-2.6 They seem to be independent copies. Why are they there? Which one is the "real" one that's used when Sage is running? (And, most importantly for #9967, how do we get setup.py to use the correct directory directly? Changing SITE_PACKAGES in setup.py didn't seem to work.) Thanks, Dan -- --- Dan Drake ----- http://mathsci.kaist.ac.kr/~drake -------
