Hi,
I'm trying to package some educational games written in python. Upstream
delivers a horrible INSTALL.sh which drops the .py files under:
/usr/lib/games/childsplay
Now this is obviously wrong IMHO, but what is correct. pirut installs
its .py files under /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pirut,
system-config-network installs them under
/usr/share/system-config-network. I thought that
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages was mainly for python modules / libs
which can be used by multiple python programs and that .py files which
are program code (iow not "sharable" / reusable) should indeed go under
/usr/share/%{name}.
Also on my 64bit system I have python stuff under both
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ and /usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/
Thanks & Regards,
Hans
The modules should go into
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/
and the rest should go into /usr/share/%{name}
check out yum, it install a the yum python module into
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum
and the code for the yum client is installed into /usr/share/yum-cli.
it can depends on how the python application is coded, if you install a module in site-packages/ you can access the module by doing a
import modulename
in any python application, you can also install the module in
/usr/share/appl.name/modulename, but then it can only be used python application
located in /usr/share/appl.name/ .
I think the best way, is to install modules under /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ and the rest of the application in
/usr/share/appl.name.
This is the way i do it in yumex.
