Description dan 2005-04-11 04:28:48 UTC

python-mode-4.63-r1 installs the pycomplete.py file into a semi-hardcoded path: "/usr/lib/...", which is assumed to be in the system's python path. This usually works, but not on a standard OSX install for example.

I have attached a patch to the ebuild which generates a 'setup.py' file that distutils can use to install the pycomplete.py file into the correct system-wide python site-packages directory. 

Reproducible: Always

i would suggest add the setup.py as a patch (or seperate file in FILESDIR) rather than inline in the ebuild.

Fixed in CVS (I added setup.py to FILESDIR). Thanks for the report.
