Hey.
My problem is that when I upload my Python package to PyPI, and then install it from there using pip, my app breaks because it installs my files into completely different locations than when I simply install the exact same package from a local sdist.
Installing from the local sdist puts files on my system like this:
/Python27/
Lib/
site-packages/
gloopy-0.1.alpha-py2.7.egg/ (egg and install info files)
data/ (images and shader source)
doc/ (html)
examples/ (.py scripts that use the library)
gloopy/ (source)
This is much as I'
d expect, and works fine (e.g. my source can find my data dir, because they lie next to each other, just like they do in development.)
If I upload the same sdist to PyPI and then install it from there, using pip, then things look very different:
/Python27/
data/ (images and shader source)
doc/ (html)
Lib/
site-packages/
gloopy-0.1.alpha-py2.7.egg/ (egg and install info files)
gloopy/ (source files)
examples/ (.py scripts that use the library)
This doesn't work at all - my app can't find its data files, plus obviously it's a mess, polluting the top-level /python27 directory with all my junk.
What am I doing wrong? How do I make the pip install behave like the local sdist install? Is that even what I should be trying to achieve?
Details
I have setuptools installed, and also distribute, and I'm calling distribute_setup.use_setuptools()
WindowsXP, Python2.7.
My development directory looks like this:
/gloopy
/data (image files and GLSL shader souce read at runtime)
/doc (html files)
/examples (some scripts to show off the library)
/gloopy (the library itself)
My MANIFEST.in mentions all the files I want to be included in the sdist, including everything in the data, examples and doc directories:
recursive-include data *.*
recursive-include examples *.py
recursive-include doc/html *.html *.css *.js *.png
include LICENSE.txt
include TODO.txt
My setup.py is quite verbose, but I guess the best thing is to include it here, right? I also includes duplicate references to the same data / doc / examples directories as are mentioned in the MANIFEST.in, because I understand this is required in order for these files to be copied from the sdist to the system during install.
