Hi ametaireau,

I know nothing about PyPI or setup.py :(
If you could help the project by making it available in PyPI, your work will be 
very welcome!
Thanks!

yep, sure. What I need is a list of the dependencies you use, the author email 
and this kind of stuff.

What I can do is make a simple setup.py file, and then ask you for some inputs.

Do you have some place I can contribute using mercurial/git (that way you can 
review my changes before puting them in trunk).

cheers

Thanks ametaireau, so please do it and I help you with the information you need.

You can commit your work directly into trunk/dist, I gave you SVN commit access.

About dependencies, we just use the standard python libraries: re, os, sys, 
time, getopt, csv, gettext, traceback, Tkinter. Author contact is verde at 
aurelio dot net.

Okay, I'm starting looking at it, so correct me if I'm wrong.
what's needed to package is the txt2tags file, hmm ?

Is there a lib, otherwise ? What about what is in the extra and the dist 
folders: what are they to ?

Do you think considering splitting the binary and the lib into two files is a 
good idea ? (I think so)

How the .po files are supposed to be used at the installation time ?

I'm now starting to package it "as is", I'll commit the changes then. Is there 
a way to contact you by IM / IRC ?

See rev 391 for the basic setup.py.

Alex, thanks for the commit!

I've fixed url and author name in setup.py in r394.

Yes the trunk/txt2tags is the only file needed to run the program. The rest are 
just sample files or external (optional) tools. There is no lib.

I don't know how pypi handles .po files, or maybe .mo files (generated from .po 
by gettext tools). The .mo files should go to i18n folders (varies from each 
Linux distro).

I think some instructions at setup.py header (as comments) would be nice. I 
don't what to do with it.

You can contact me as aureliojargas in gtalk.

I've read about Python packaging (never have used easy_install) and now I see 
that we're missing the train. Thanks Alex for bringing this out.

The new version of txt2tags should be on PyPI. There are valuable information 
about packaging here, for those who are interested:

http://diveintopython3.org/packaging.html
http://docs.python.org/distutils

I have to add another useful resource too: http://guide.python-distribute.org/
cheers, alex

For the current 2.6 version, Python developers can install txt2tags as a Python 
module with this command:

easy_install -f "http://txt2tags.org/txt2tags.py#egg=txt2tags-2.6" txt2tags

Two things: 

- I can't find any record of txt2tags on pypi by now (and thus can't install)
- Relying on the eggs formats is generally a bad idea, and will be deprecated 
with distutils2, so that's maybe not a good idea to do so.

Yes, that's only a temporary solution for the current version. It creates an 
egg on the fly.

For v2.7 we'll do the right thing.
