siteconfig.py should be generated at ''build''

[pLu]

The file siteconfig.py seems to be missing from the package trac-0.7.1.win32.exe.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "trac-admin", line 34, in ?
    import trac.siteconfig
ImportError: No module named siteconfig

Very true indeed.

siteconfig.py should be generated at build in setup.py, rather than install... otherwise siteconfig.py will be absent.

[daniel]

An interim solution is to install from the source tarball/zip file, the siteconfig will be automatically generated when you run python setup.py install.

We can't generate siteconfig.py at "build" because the installation prefix is not yet known. The installation prefix is determined by the "install" command.

How does the windows installer work? Does it let us run some code before/after the installation?

[jonas]

I don't see how we can solve this, not for 0.8 anyway...

[cmlenz]

We could probably use the --install-script option for this.

I'm implementing this for the 0.8.2 release today.

This should be fixed in [1745], ported to the 0.8 branch in [1746].
