Hi,
Python 2.5 seems to install automatically generated egg-info files for
each package. This causes each port, which installs files into
the site-packages directory to leave files around:
For devel/pygame this would be pygame-1.7.1release-py2.5.egg-info.
For x11-toolkits/py-tkinter this would be Tkinter-0.0.0-py2.5.egg-info
...
This is a more or less serious issue which should be fixed soon, either
by updating all ports, which place files into site-packages or by
turning that option off in the distutils package.
The line, which should do that would be line 604 in
Python-2.5/Lib/distutils/command/install.py:
- ('install_egg_info', lambda self:True),
+ ('install_egg_info', lambda self:False),
Although the egg support was planned for 2.6, some of its code went
already into the 2.5 distutils distribution :-}.
As python eggs rely upon .egg-info files to track down dependencies,
this becomes a funny issue to deal with.
Regards
Marcus
