Setup.py

[Angelo Compagnucci]

Hello List,

I'm trying to understand how setup.py works. It seems to me that it
doesn't work.

There is no web2py binary in system path or somewhere else.

It's a bug or feature?

Thank you!

Sincerely, Angelo

It is very well possible that it does not work. Somebody should adopt it.

Hi Massimo,

I'm trying to look at it. I have only a question about permission.
Applications should run in a writable folder such as the whole web2py.
I don't think there is an easy way to give writable permissions to
slices of python sitepackage.

I don't think also web2py could be disjointed to have the application
directory in a path totally different from web2py path.

In the end I dont think could be easily feasible to use python package
infrastructure to pack web2py.

What do you think?

Sincerely, Angelo.

It is possible to have a the gluon folder under site packages and the applications folder somewhere else. This used to work. I am not sure how and when it broke but it has nothing to do with the web2py default folder structure. Perhaps the problem is that the options.py example moved from web2py/ to web2py/examples/

Hi Massimo,

I will look into this. So in the end is definitively possibile to
install web2py core with python distutils and keep the application
outside.

I'll try with having applications in /var/www and serve that with
apache using web2py.

I'll post my results as soon as possible.

Sincerely, Angelo
