[03:06:25] <AlecTaylor> Trying to debug why my data_files aren't being installed. I've put them in pkg_dir/data, and copied across my setup.py from other projects.
[03:10:20] <AlecTaylor> Here, I wrote a test-case https://gist.github.com/AlecTaylor/106e89cfef1bedfa71ad
[03:22:03] <AlecTaylor> So how would that fail? - I've tried `rm -rf build dist *.egg-info ~/.cache/pip`, `python setup.py bdist_wheel` and `python setup.py install`
[03:22:10] <AlecTaylor> (as well as the usual `pip install .`)
[15:51:13] <michal_f> hello everybody. I tried installing skype seva-bot and got stuck on virtualenv... and I have no idea how to proceed...
[15:51:26] <michal_f> I have 'cannot find a wheel for setuptools' and the same for pip
[15:51:50] <michal_f> and also 'ImportError: No module named _vendor' from inside pkgutil
[15:52:06] <michal_f> can someone push me in right direction ?
[20:26:54] <ngaio> is there a special reason DistUtilsExtra is not included in the "Non-PyPA Projects" section of https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/projects/ ?
[20:38:41] <Mathieu_Du> Any ideas on the preferred way to handle development dependencies with setuptools ?
[20:39:46] <Mathieu_Du> I've got a pep8 commit hook and a pylint commit hook which I do not need a runtime at all, and the pylint hook pulls in quite a few dependencies, I'd like these dependencies to be listed separately
[20:52:12] <ngaio> dstufft, well I admit that's a very good reason :-)
[20:52:27] <ngaio> there is some very minimal documentation here http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~python-distutils-extra-hackers/python-distutils-extra/debian/files/head:/doc/
[20:53:05] <ngaio> from what I can gather by searching on github, it's used in a lot of python packages destined for use on Linux
[20:53:22] <ngaio> and it's found in many linux distros (all the big ones as far as I can tell)
[20:53:35] <ngoldbaum> sfink: it uses the crecord interface for me
[20:54:12] <dstufft> ngaio: I'd suggest opening an issue on https://github.com/pypa/python-packaging-user-guide/issues and possibly a PR :] (Though I don't do much with the ppug, I just assume that's why it's not mentioned)
