The install command ensures that the build commands have been run and then runs the subcommands install_lib , install_data and install_scripts .
This command installs all data files provided with the distribution.
This command installs all (Python) scripts in the distribution.
The manifest template commands are:
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| include pat1 pat2 ... | include all files matching any of the listed patterns |
| exclude pat1 pat2 ... | exclude all files matching any of the listed patterns |
| recursive-include dir pat1 pat2 ... | include all files under dir matching any of the listed patterns |
| recursive-exclude dir pat1 pat2 ... | exclude all files under dir matching any of the listed patterns |
| global-include pat1 pat2 ... | include all files anywhere in the source tree matching — & any of the listed patterns |
| global-exclude pat1 pat2 ... | exclude all files anywhere in the source tree matching — & any of the listed patterns |
| prune dir | exclude all files under dir |
| graft dir | include all files under dir |
The patterns here are Unix-style “glob” patterns:
*
matches any sequence of regular filename characters,
?
matches any single regular filename character, and
[range]
matches any of the characters in
range
(e.g.,
a-z
,
a-zA-Z
,
a-f0-9_.
). The definition of “regular filename character” is platform-specific: on Unix it is anything except slash; on Windows anything except backslash or colon.
