[Jython-users] How to configure setup.py to distribute egg

[James K. <jwk...@gm...>]

I’m using Netbeans with Python and jython plugins. I started a python
project and wrote my code. I import standard JAVA packages and only one
Java add-in

import gnu.io

import gnu.io.RXTXPort as RXTX      (RXTX is added to JDK/JRE and JRE I
assume this will be a dependency)

The program runs fine from within Netbeans and now I want to make an egg.

The project SRC folder contains 29 .py  + 25 .class + 7 .jpg + 2 .XML
files  and   __INIT__.py

I right-click the project and use CLEAN and BUILD EGG

This puts a setup.py file in the source directory and creates a built and
info folder.

I also issued the Jython command from within the project SRC
folder            jython setup.py  bdist_egg

Both methods run to completion and produce the following

<folder> build>

               <subfolder> bdist.java1.80_251     (which is empty)

+ <folder> dist

           <file> JythonProject0.1-py2.7.egg      (contents = list of
egg-info files)

+  <folder>JythonProject.egg-info  with

          <file>  dependency_links.txt          (no content)

          <file> PKG-INFO                                (summary of
setup.py entries)

          <file> SOURCES.txt                           (setup.py + list of
these files)

          <file> top_level.txt                           (no content)



I’ve studied about the structure of the setup.py file but I’ll admit that
without an example I’m left confused about the syntax of filling in the
blanks.

QUESTION: how do I add my source data to get a working egg?

Setup.py =

from setuptools import setup, find_packages



setup (

       name='JythonProject',

       version='0.1',

       packages=find_packages(),   ***  (supposed to find all .PY files ?)

                                                          *** how to
include CLASS files?

       # Declare your packages' dependencies here, for eg:

       install_requires=[],   *** my RXTX?  <path>xx.JAR?

       # Fill in these to make your Egg ready for upload to

       # PyPI
