Remove scripts/setup.py #54

Closed steveha-ziprecruiter closed 8 years ago

steveha-ziprecruiter commented 8 years ago

Since the Python bindings now have their own repo, and since scripts/setup.py did not work when I tried it, I suggest removing scripts/setup.py from this repo.

Note: When I was trying to figure out how to install the Python bindings, Google found issue #10 and I tried the process described there. I should have just started with the README.md file! (I edited issue #10 to help out anyone who does the same thing I did.)

Hey Steve - the setup.py in scripts is not related to the Python bindings.

The scripts directory contains many of the supporting scripts (mostly Python) for preprocessing the various open geo data sets required to build/train the models in libpostal. It shouldn't be needed by most users of the C library, but is actively used during training.

Thanks for updating the old issue. It was from before libpostal was made public and much has changed since then.
