It's reasonable to expect setup.py to install things in this directory: /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pywikibot/ But it's not reasonable for it to also put things in these directories: /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/externals/ /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/scripts/ /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/tests/ What if every python project tried to do that?
Setting packages=['pywikibot'], in setup.py does not seem to solve this. Simple way to reproduce: valhallasw@lisilwen:~/src/pwb/pywikibot-core$ virtualenv test New python executable in test/bin/python Installing distribute.............................................................................................................................................................................................done. Installing pip...............done. valhallasw@lisilwen:~/src/pwb/pywikibot-core$ source test/bin/activate valhallasw@lisilwen:~/src/pwb/pywikibot-core$ python setup.py install (...)

Thanks, I'm trying again with commit b7bff6b. It is no longer installing those exact files but now it seems to install these, which are inappropriate for the same reason: /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/easy-install.pth /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/site.py /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/site.pyc /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/site.pyo Should I open a new bug? I think this pretty much falls within the same scope.
I'm not sure -- it sounds like Setuptools installing itself to me (at least easy-install.pth is from Setuptools, and I think the site.py makes sure .egg's work. Are you building on a system that has a recent-enough (2.0+) version of Setuptools installed? That might cause this, I think. It's not (or should not be) a runtime dependency, though. Also, maybe you should use python setup.py build instead of python setup.py install as the latter is supposed to install dependencies, while the former just builds the set of files from to install.
setup.py install places all files in the following directory on my workstation. /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pywikibot-2.0b1-py2.7.egg If you are still seeing files places in site-packages, please re-open and indicate which version of python and setuptools you are using.
