I created a module (scipy_subpackages.py, IIRC) next to setup.py that essentially just served as a global configuration to inform all of the setup.py's what subpackages they were supposed to build (mostly just Lib/setup.py, actually). I then had a script run through the various collections of subpackages that I wanted to build, set the appropriate values in scipy_subpackages, and run setup() with the appropriate parameters to build an egg for each collection. However, build/ apparently needs to be cleaned out between each egg, otherwise you contaminate later eggs. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
