_cec.so should be installed in one directory higher

[10robinho]

Hello,

Currently _cec.so installs in site-packages/cec/ while it should be placed one level higher, in site-packages.

Here is simple patch for it, against current master:

diff --git a/src/libcec/cmake/CheckPlatformSupport.cmake b/src/libcec/cmake/CheckPlatformSupport.cmake
index 962607e..ba43db5 100644
--- a/src/libcec/cmake/CheckPlatformSupport.cmake

       install(TARGETS     ${SWIG_MODULE_cec_REAL_NAME}
-              DESTINATION lib/python${PYTHON_VERSION}/${PYTHON_PKG_DIR}/cec)
+              DESTINATION lib/python${PYTHON_VERSION}/${PYTHON_PKG_DIR})
       install(FILES       ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/src/libcec/cec.py
               DESTINATION lib/python${PYTHON_VERSION}/${PYTHON_PKG_DIR}/cec
               RENAME      __init__.py)

I've tried without this patch and everything works fine with python 3.4. Are You experiencing any issues due to paths?

[10robinho]

I use Python 3.5, maybe it makes difference. I didn't change python default settings and paths. All other modules that have shared libraries (.so) files have them placed in site-packages directory.

Anyway, you can close this if it works for you. If someone meets the same problem I hope that he can find the answer here.

I'll have to check updating Python in the next major release. Too much risk of breaking existing things when doing it in a minor release.

I've just checked this with Python 2.7 on Windows, for EventGhost #357, and it does indeed expect _cec.pyd to be one directory up there.

I'll check what's going on on Linux with this directory. It's possible that I picked the wrong directory here because Debian(based) systems don't always use the same structures as upstream.
