#19 conditional import of DebianInstaller

[bidon]

Line 26 of setup.py there is an import that make the script fail on non debian platform (ie. macports):

from contrib.debian.installer import DebianInstaller

Could this import be only done on debian?

Could this code do the trick?

if getattr(install, "install_layout", None) && install.install_layout == "deb":
    from contrib.debian.installer import DebianInstaller

[bidon]

Oops, I made some errors in the proposed code. Here is a better version.

if (getattr(install, "install_layout", None) and install.install_layout == "deb"):
    from contrib.debian.installer import DebianInstaller

What is the behaviour when setup.py is called? I don't see what error can appear when the module or class is loaded.

Sorry, I tested a new install of version 0.3.9 and 0.3.10 and the problem has gone. Can't find what was wrong. Please, forget my request.
