#14912: py25-setuptools should include site.py ---------------------------------------------+------------------------------ Reporter: stefan@sun.ac.za | Owner: stechert@macports.org Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Resolution: fixed | Keywords: python, easy_install, setuptools Port: py-setuptools, py25-setuptools | ---------------------------------------------+------------------------------ Comment(by blb@macports.org): Replying to [comment:9 ryandesign@…]:

I still don't know why Bryan changed the port in r16819 to no longer install site.py, nor why he claimed in the log message that the file was unnecessary, nor why it took two years after that change for anyone to report the problem to us. Maybe the file did not used to be required, but now is. In any case, given the software author's statement, I changed the ports to again install that file, as of r39983. I think (and since this was 2.5 years ago, I could definitely be remembering wrong) is that since it was putting site.py into ${prefix}/lib/python*/site-packages/ instead of where the base site.py is located, I may have believed it to be unnecessary. Or it was interfering with a site.py already present there, though I don't see one with python2.5.
