#pypa logs for Thursday the 5th of March, 2015

(Back to #pypa overview) (Back to channel listing) (Animate logs)
[14:35:00] <linovia_> I though the scripts directive in the setup.py would copy/paste the file instead of using an entry point but it doesn't seem to always be the case
[14:35:25] <linovia_> Is there a way I can make sure a given script is fully copied in the venv's bin directory during installation ?
[14:36:07] <linovia_> it works for one of my package but doesn't for the other (which looks like an entry point though I don't declare any)
[14:50:06] <linovia_> ok, as for my previous comment, the inconsistencies I'm getting is due to the way I install the package. python setup.py install gives an entry point like script while pip install will copy the full file
[15:00:45] <ronny> linovia_: is there any good reason for not using entrypoints?
[15:59:11] <linovia_> ronny: sure, mod_wsgi expects to find an application variable in the script it is given
[15:59:14] <linovia_> ronny: since I don't want to give the path to the site-packages, I declated the wsgi.py as script so that it is found in <venv>/bin/wsgi.py
[15:59:15] <linovia_> declared
[16:30:53] <ronny> linovia_: i see, hmm sounds like a shortcoming of mod_wsgi, it should support being given a python home and a entrypoint ^^
[17:08:37] <linovia_> ronny: definitively would love to see that
[17:10:11] <ronny> linovia_: i gun-ho-gun tweetet at graham ^^
[17:10:21] <linovia_> huhu
[17:16:42] <ronny> linovia_: i tweeted at him asking why that does not exist, i suspect it might exist soon
[17:33:42] <linovia_> yeah, just saw your tweet. I'm looking forward his answer ;)
[21:51:23] <mitsuhiko> dstufft: maybe i misunderstand the lawsuit, but it sounds to me that if vmware loses this is really not very good for the linux ecosystem
[21:51:42] <mitsuhiko> some things are better left untested in my mind
[21:51:46] <dstufft> mitsuhiko: I don't know a ton about the lawsuit TBH
[21:51:55] <dstufft> I wasn't challenging what you said, I was just curious
[21:52:20] <mitsuhiko> the only way for vmware to comply with the gpl there would be to gpl license their own proprietary vm solution which has nothing to do with linux
[21:52:30] <mitsuhiko> which would be insane from a legal point of view
[21:52:51] <dstufft> GPL has a death clause too
[21:52:51] <dstufft> lol
[21:52:55] <mitsuhiko> yeah
[21:53:06] <mitsuhiko> gplv2 once violated cannot be regained any more
[21:54:50] <dstufft> techincally it can! You just have to get permission from all th ecopyright holders
[21:54:51] <dstufft> (lol)
[22:00:07] <nanonyme> dstufft, wait, what was that about?
[22:02:31] <nanonyme> Aaagh, having source code on ESXi *definitely* isn't worth all this
[22:06:55] <mitsuhiko> nanonyme: which is why i'm utterly confused why the hell they would do this
[22:08:34] <nanonyme> The death claus is most likely why Ubuntu and folks have their CLA's
[22:09:26] <nanonyme> And why GNU requires copyright trasferring to GNU for all GNU projects
[22:09:52] <nanonyme> Things are simple when only one party holds copyright to all the code
