Installation question

[akou@…]

Hello,

I am currently evaluating email2trac to use with our current trac setup. Our
current trac setup uses virtualenv and we would like to keep any python
packages installed within and use pip as our primary install mechanism.
After looking at the installation, it seems that I can write a standard
python setup.py file to do the installation for me. I was wondering if there
was any reason/dependencies for using make and packages that I am not aware
was and am
I correct in assuming I can write a setup.py to do the work? Any help is
appreciated

Thank you so much for your help!

Can anyone provide me with some of the information? If I have the relevant information, I can create a setup.py and submit it as a patch.

What do you mean? Currently there is no setup.py. Because you specify the root dir of your trac project. So it pretty standalone.

I know there is no setup.py...I do not want to use make or a package manager
to deploy it, since I am using virtualenv and pip.
I was wondering if there is a specific reason for not using setup.py. If
there isn't I will create one and submit a patch to add another option for
installation.

I did not write a setup.py, because email2trac is a standalone python program. If it use modules or was dependend on external python modules i would write a setup.py file.

The second reason was that in the source package a C-program is included. I know i can make a Makefile that calls setup.py.

But it would be nice to have feature ;-)

Just curious did you write a setup.py?

And do you have a patch?
