My package, (openastro.org) before modification, when it is still creating a public python package, creates: (from dpkg-query -L openastro.org) /usr/share/pyshared/openastromod /usr/share/pyshared/openastromod/importfile.py /usr/share/pyshared/openastromod/swiss.py /usr/share/pyshared/openastromod/zonetab.py /usr/share/pyshared/openastromod/timeoutsocket.py /usr/share/pyshared/openastromod/dignities.py /usr/share/pyshared/openastromod/geoname.py /usr/share/pyshared/openastromod/__init__.py and /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/openastromod /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/openastromod/importfile.py /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/openastromod/swiss.py /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/openastromod/zonetab.py /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/openastromod/timeoutsocket.py /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/openastromod/dignities.py /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/openastromod/geoname.py /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/openastromod/__init__.py and /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/openastromod /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/openastromod/importfile.py /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/openastromod/swiss.py /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/openastromod/zonetab.py /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/openastromod/timeoutsocket.py /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/openastromod/dignities.py /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/openastromod/geoname.py /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/openastromod/__init__.py So should I not move these to the following places? /usr/share/openastro.org/pyshared/openastromod/* and /usr/share/openastro.org/python2.6/openastromod/* and /usr/share/openastro.org/python2.7/openastromod/* or where should the various files be moved to? I am not sure what to do with the pyshared directory or the correct place for the python2.x/dist-packages/openastromod/* files. openastromod is a module in python that imports an extension called swe. -- Paul Elliott 1(512)837-1096 pelliott@BlackPatchPanel.com PMB 181, 11900 Metric Blvd Suite J http://www.free.blackpatchpanel.com/pme/ Austin TX 78758-3117
