I'm making a python package for something python Gedit/Pluma/Xed plugin. Like other lots of other packages that use Gtk, I use glib-compile-schemas [1] at install time. I do this by using a custom setup.py- similar to this file this from flux: https://github.com/xflux-gui/fluxgui/blob/master/setup.py#L81(other app, like Meld to something similar) It looks like there are a lot of changes happening to setuptools, will this continue to work or will it break one day ? This isn't the only file I'd like to generate at install time, but might be the hardest to work around if I can't. The other custom action I'm going looking at is setting `--install-lib` to the editors plugin directory (this varies depending on: Operating system and is the user root ?) I'm using use pip for this, as the install story for most python plugins for these editors is nonexistant - people have to copy the files to some place manually, and instructions usually miss out Windows and OSX. [1] glib-compile-schemas takes an XML file and generates a binary GVariant file. -- Distutils-SIG mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/distutils-sig.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/[email protected]/message/EWR4XLHRVMXH5ZO776UNL5S4POIXJMUT/
