When installing via pip or setup.py templates dir is not copied

[chrisballinger]

I installed django-registration-defaults via pip and was scratching my head as to why the templates weren't being found. Apparently the install script isn't copying the templates directory to site-packages/registration_defaults/templates. When I copy the templates folder there manually everything works as intended. I'm still rather new to python but I encountered this bug both on the most recent checkout of the source from here and using python setup.py install and when using pip install django-registration-defaults. If I knew more about how python package managing works I'd edit the setup.py script to fix this issue and submit a pull request.

edit: This is with the built-in version of Python 2.7.1 on Mac OS 10.7.1

Hmm, I can't reproduce this on linux -- the templates dir is correctly copied. You don't get any helpful errors or other feedback from the installer, do you?

I just pushed a fix that might help: I removed a hackish thing that was trying to append the git hash to the version number, which has failed for me in the past when the .git dir isn't present (as on pypi).

[chrisballinger]

Nope. It just acts as everything worked properly. However, when I uninstall it lists all of the directories/files that are missing. :(

Here are are my pip and Bash versions as well if that helps somehow:

GNU bash, version 3.2.48(1)-release (x86_64-apple-darwin11) pip 1.0.2

Sweet beard, by the way.

Oops clicked comment & close instead of just comment.

Still broken in both pip and on most recent git version. Looks like I do get some errors/warnings when installing manually.

From the output, it looks as though it put the files in

/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/registration_defaults/

is that not the case?

If you just use the default python with OS X, it does everything out of the "Frameworks" folder.

Most people who are doing web development these days don't install dependencies like this in their system folders directly, but instead use virtualenv, so that different projects/systems/environments conflict with each other less:

Nothing should ever write to /System/

All other packages (from pip or elsewhere) (and the other files from your package) install to:

/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/registration_defaults/```

Sure enough it appears that your script installs those items here:
```/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/registration_defaults/templates```

I'll probably use virtualenv some day in the future but for right now I'm just playing around and only have 1 project so it's not really needed yet. Thanks for the tip though!

It's up to python's distutils where things go, not me. :)

I did copy some voodoo from Django's setup.py to make templates get properly included in the distribution; I'll look into that again to see if it's necessary, or if there's a more vanilla implementation that might behave more as expected on OS X.
