Re: [Duplicity-talk] success: parallel install of different versions

[edgar . soldin]

How can I convince the install routine to put the binaries/executables 
in a path of my choice without creating a /bin subfolder?
The why & current status are below.

:~> python setup.py install --prefix=~/_apps/duplicity-0.5.01 
--install-lib=~/_apps/duplicity-0.5.01

I end up with a as flat as it gets folder structure:
----
:~> ls  ~/_apps/duplicity-0.5.01/*
/srv/www/jamoke.net//_apps/duplicity-0.5.01/duplicity-0.5.01-py2.5.egg-info

/srv/www/jamoke.net//_apps/duplicity-0.5.01/bin:
duplicity  rdiffdir

/srv/www/jamoke.net//_apps/duplicity-0.5.01/duplicity:
... [SNIP]

/srv/www/jamoke.net//_apps/duplicity-0.5.01/share:
doc  man
----

The sys.path entry now to add to the duplicity script is the same as 
prefix, as the libs are under $prefix/duplicity.
I could install them under /bin 
(--install-lib=~/_apps/duplicity-0.5.01/bin) to obsolete the need to 
edit PYTHONPATH.

But I'd rather like to put the executables not in  a bin folder, but 
directly in $prefix.
Has anybody an idea how to convince the install routine to do so?
