gramps

Hi and welcome Terrel,


As said by Benny, we already looked at python-setuptools way[1].
There is an unfinished experimental setup.py, which should runs with current stable release (minor reorganisation on trunk ...).

The launcher according to OS is ignored (see some comments on setup.py).
I have generated some .rpm package before, so it was a quick resume of current automake installation.

There is an other sample with our make.py for the addon ecosystem, which is fully "python" and use common gnu gettext tools for translations !

About unit test[2], I used some of them (related to translation and makefile references). Else for testing Relationship calculation and Date handling, we set up to root path via pythonpath environment variable[3].

Others unit tests have been improved some years ago, but I never ran all of them (reports, database, etc ...).

If we plan to ever move to Python 2.7/3.x, creating a root package 
"gramps" and using absolute imports will simplify that transition. 

  mkdir gramps
  touch gramps/__init__.py
  mv src/* gramps  
  mv gramps src


added note to http://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gpygobject portingEPS_008:_File_Organization


So you mean instead of gramps/src, we have gramps/gramps.
I would like to move to setup.py too, and have gramps installed in the correct pythonic location, so that other applications could import gen in a standard way. 

Note that on install, src/ in installed as /usr/share/gramps/, not src.

Benny
