Directory Structure for Distutils

[Thomas =?ISO-8859-15?Q?G=FCttler?=]

Hi!

What is the best directory structure for python modules?

I want to install a script called pyla into /usr/bin/pyla

The script pyla imports several methods and classes from a
module called pyla.

Up to would like to do it like this

pyla/
pyla/setup.py
pyla/dist (created by distutils)
pyla/pyla/__init__.py # This should be in site-packages/pyla
pyla/pyla/foo.py
pyla/pyla # Script for /usr/bin cannot be called like this
# because directory pyla exists.

Would be nice if there was a "prefered" directory strucuture
in the documentation of distutils. This should include
doc/, man/, etc/, ...

What does your directory strutures look like?

(Replying to myself)

I downloaded the source of distutils and took it as an example.

One thing is still unclear:
How can I copy non python files into the destination?
There is a directory called "gif" which needs to be in the
directory of the my module.

Take a look at ResourcePackage. It isn't exactly what you want but it
is exactly for your purpose.

Hi Peter,

Thank you for this link, but I don't want the images to become
python source.

Still looking for a solution ...
