Root cause is probably the same as the missing templates/media (really all data files) often reported on Windows installs. I'll attach a patched setup.py that fixes the problem. Per advice on how to fix it from Malcolm, new setup.py chdir's into the location of setup.py and then builds all file paths relative to that root. I tested the fix on:

Windows XP, using both the 'python setup.py install' and 'setup.py install' variants, both when current directory was and was not the location of setup.py, all with Python 2.5.1.

Linux (Ubuntu Gutsy), again both with and without the current directory being the location of setup.py, using both Python 2.5.1 and Python 2.4.4. On Linux I also verified an easy_install of a tarball containing the patched setup.py works and includes the data files in the installation.

Sorry, don't have any Macs to test on but so far as I know it should work there as well.

  • status changed from new to closed.
  • resolution set to fixed.

(In [7139]) Changed setup.py to work no matter where it is called from. We were previously using file, which isn't consistent on Windows. Some awesome debugging (and patch) here from Karen Tracey. Fixed #6562.
