Fixes
pip install --user
failing with "permission denied" error when trying to copy headers (data_files
) into destination place.What failed before:
pip install --user
copies all Python files correctly to~/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/
, but then tries to copy C headers to absolute path pointed bysys.exec_prefix
- which still points to system-global directory when installing with--user
.The fix: use relative paths,
setup()
will take care of them properly.For reference: https://docs.python.org/3/distutils/setupscript.html#installing-additional-files
Also, I needed to manually apply patches from #120 to make it build at all, but for the purpose of PR, I rebased them to master.
