pip is not installing my data_files. But easy_install does

问题

This is going to be a short question.

The source is here: https://github.com/exhuma/grc

And the title explains my problem ;)

I registered and uploaded the package to pypi. Now if I run easy_install grc, it works as expected. But if I run pip install grc, it installs properly, but does not install the data_files. I don't see why this is happening. Any ideas?

回答1:

Maybe the files aren't installed in the path you expect. In Ubuntu 11.10, I see them under /usr/local/configs as it can be seen in pip uninstall output:

$ sudo pip uninstall grc
Uninstalling grc:
  /usr/local/bin/grc
  /usr/local/configs/apache_access.yml
  /usr/local/configs/aptitude.yml
  /usr/local/configs/pysetup.yml
  /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/grc
  /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/grc-1.0b3.egg-info
Proceed (y/n)?

In your system, I guess you can check also the output of pip uninstall to make sure.
