As best I can tell, we've been mis-specifying data_files for ages.
For some reason with a plain setup.py it worked fine, but using a
customized cmdclass for build_py, the error shows up.
The problem was that we were returning a list of triples for
data_files, and the spec clearly says they must be pairs:

The ipapi.py module has been completely deprecated as of this point.
No new code should use it and all existing code that uses it will
migrate away from it. The launch_new_instance function has
been moved to ipapp and the setup.py scripts have been updated.
- Fix links for pyreadline.
- Fix setup.py to include new -wx script.
- Add pylab profile to win32 native installer.
- Fix manual win32 post install script (though this script may not work, and
I'm considering removing it...)
the test suite to fail when IPtyhon was installed. I have modified find_package_data
in setupbase.py to include these files. Anyone who writes tests that rely on .txt
files needs to add them to the package_data.
the full tree of our rst docs are not included in the data_files. Not sure if/how
we want to handle that. It was easy when we had a single file documentation, but
not we have a full directory hierarchy full of rst files.
was spelled as lowercase. This didn't cause a problem on OS X as it is case insensitive. But
on Linux, it crashed. Now ipython is spelled properly as "IPython". Also, kernel/config/tests
and UserConfig were missing their __init__.py files. These have been added.
that have been merged. I am also bringing in a new way for checking dependencies at
build time that is simple, but really helpful now that we have lots of optional
dependencies.
