Thus, this is a pretty # important place to fiddle with for anyone interested in # installation schemes for the Python library. Issues that # are not yet resolved to my satisfaction: # * how much platform dependence should be here, and # how much can be pushed off to sysconfig (or, better, the # Makefiles parsed by sysconfig)? # * how independent of Python version should this be -- ie. # should we have special cases to handle Python 1.5 and # older, and then do it "the right way" for 1.6? Or should # we install a site.py along with Distutils under pre-1.6 # Python to take care of the current deficiencies in # Python's library installation scheme? # # Currently, this method has hacks to distinguish POSIX from # non-POSIX systems (for installation of site-local modules), # and assumes the Python 1.5 installation tree with no site.py # to fix things. # Figure out the build directories, ie. where to install from self.set_peer_option ('build', 'basedir', self.build_base) self.set_undefined_options ('build', ('basedir', 'build_base'), ('libdir', 'build_lib'), ('platdir', 'build_platlib')) # Figure out actual installation directories; the basic principle # is: if the user supplied nothing, then use the directories that # Python was built and installed with (ie. the compiled-in prefix # and exec_prefix, and the actual installation directories gleaned # by sysconfig). If the user supplied a prefix (and possibly # exec_prefix), then we generate our own installation directories, # following any pattern gleaned from sysconfig's findings.
