Thanks for the report! I try to look into that during the next week.

By the way: a report without a patch is usually better than no report at all. :-)

Most probably the --home option is meant here.

Changed summary and description to use --home instead of --user.

I guess changeset 892 should fix the problem. The setup.py attached to this ticket is identical to that committed. Please either substitute your setup.py with the attached one or update your working copy, and give me feedback whether that solves the problem for you.

Works fine ... partially. Some documentation does not get installed.

Oh yes, the repository doesn't contain the HTML files. They are generated during the packaging process with make dist and thereby put into the tar.gz archive.

I'll attach a tar.gz file to the ticket you can use.

Thanks for testing, by the way. :-)

A tip: For program output, it's best to enclose it in triple curly braces, like this:

{{{
Some program output ...
}}}

So the line breaks are preserved.

You can read more about that at WikiFormatting.

thanks for coding ;).

Your the tar.gz is a plain html-file - but I manually created the required html and txt files - now everything works fine.

No, it's a tar.gz archive. :) At least my browser's helper application opens it as an archive. Maybe you were mistaken by the dialog you got when you clicked on the filename.

Click on the filename above. On the page that appears then, click the link "downloading". Then your browser should ask you for a helper application to open it and/or offer you to save the file.

I'd appreciate it if you tested the installation from the archive as well.

sry, I save-as-ed the link above - which does not point directly to the file.

Everything is fine - I think, we can close this one.

Thanks for testing! :-)

Fixed in changeset 892.
