Message138747
This issue was first mentioned in issue12375. The Distribution.package_dir attribute (which also appears in a few commands) is not used in a consistent manner. Some code expects it to be a string, while other code expects it to be a dict.
I believe the correct behavior now is for it to be a string, since only one root directory for Python packages is allowed in packaging.
Eric Araujo also points out that packages_root and the associated package_dir attribute are misnamed: They also point to the root for any Python modules. I'm not sure what a better name would be though--I'm tempted to suggest "source_dir", but that seems a little broad since it doesn't necessarily include C extension source. |
