These examples for creating a sdist of your python code were taken from pLAySVG, a set of libraries for the generation and manipulation of SVG in a simple Object-Oriented fashion. In this case, the scripts folder contains a set of example scripts that use the package modules, extraneous to the installation of the extension(s) but useful to developers that might use the libraries in their own python coding. py extensions files to the required directory.Įditing this file is required to ensure that all of the files that are not a part of the package you create will be copied into your distribution. Users of Windows and MacOSX will have to manually move. Help is needed to figure out how to discover where the extensions reside in other operating systems, particularly Windows and MacOSX.

Start by creating a root folder to contain your package and extensions i.e. This page will teach you how to create and distribute one or more extensions that rely on a package. to document specific decisions in Inkscape development.
