setup.py: data_files vs package_data #2

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I'd like to suggest using `package_data` instead of `data_files` so that 
WMM.COF is automatically included in the installation (e.g. 
http://python-packaging-user-guide.readthedocs.org/en/latest/tutorial.html#packa
ge-data)
Thank you

from distutils.core import setup setup( name = "geomag", packages = ["geomag"],

data_files = [('geomag', ('geomag/WMM.COF',))],

package_data = {'geomag': ['WMM.COF']},

I'll second this. Installing geomag-0.9 into a virtualenv with `pip install 
geomag` results in a package that can't even be imported because `__init__.py` 
tries to instantiate a singleton instance.

Thank you for your feedback. I haven't coded anything in python since this was 
coded back in 2009-2010. It's taking me some time to reacquaint myself with it. 
I hope to have a new minor release asap (tomorrow or Thursday) I'm working on a 
new package that incorporates your change above and will include the new 2015 
WMM as well as the 2010 for computing dates in the past.
I can't seem to upload to the downloads section. Until I can do that I'm  a bit 
stuck. Seeking help.
But I can attach to this comment.

I just learned that uploads to the Downloads tab was disabled over a year ago.
