make install with python

[Uwe Mayer]

Hi,

I am writing a Python application and use the GNU auto-tools to compile what
needs compilation (i.e. Qt's .ui files).
However, I don't know how to write an automake file that installs the main
file (lmc.py) and some library files (i.e. ClassA.py, ClassB.py) into the
appropriate directories.

Any tips there?

Thanks
Uwe

The regular way is to use distutils and a setup.py file (google for
documentation).

Ok, thanks. The <http://www.python.org/doc/2.3.4/dist/dist.html> document
described just what I was looking for.

Any suggestions how I handle uninstallation? This was provided by automake
rather mechanically. I didn't find a section on that in the distutils
documentation.. . :(
