Description (last modified by rohana) (diff)
Currently if you specify the egg-path when using setuptools' setup.py develop, it still places the absolute path in easy_install.pth. This causes issues with relocation. Currently this only affects the sage notebook (which works around it by using a sed command), but with #13190 it will also affect the sage library. Since the easy_install.pth file is regenerated whenever setuptools detects that it needs to be, trying to use sed commands to work around this issue is unrealistic.

Ok, I updated it with the actual patch I'm going to submit upstream, so there should be no hesitation on reviewing it now. Same URL.

And for distribute (which has more active development): https://bitbucket.org/tarek/distribute/issue/293/easy_installpth-doesnt-respect-develop-egg
I've attached an spkg which includes a work in progress patch that I intend to submit upstream once finished. It is currently functional for our purposes, hence the needs review.
