Web browser: --- Bug ID: 55584 Summary: Don't clutter /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ Product: Pywikibot Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: Unprioritized Component: General Assignee: Pywikipedia-bugs@lists.wikimedia.org Reporter: yardenack@gmail.com Classification: Unclassified Mobile Platform: ---
It's reasonable to expect setup.py to install things in this directory:
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pywikibot/
But it's not reasonable for it to also put things in these directories:
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/externals/ /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/scripts/ /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/tests/
What if every python project tried to do that?
