Hello, Xavier Juvigny, computer scientist at ONERA and expert of scons/distutils, gave me some interesting informations : - scons is good for building C++, but is not made to manage python code/modules, - distutils is good for managing python modules and generating SWIG interfaces, it is very easy to use, => building Qserv modules could be done by launching a scons script which first compile C++, and then generated SWIG interfaces and deploy python modules and by launching a target which would run "python setup.py' - having a high-level scons tools for deploying the configuration and launching the building of all packages seems to be a good alternative. A pure python script would also work but would not manage dependencies and clean target so well. Using a shell script must be avoided because it's complexity would make it sensible to shell versions, and furthermore it can be broken by user environnement (scons doesn't), - if using distutils for managing python modules/SWIG, then a python package (i.e. a directory is site-package/) must be managed by only one setup.py Thanks again to Xavier for its time and its help, Have a nice day, Fabrice ######################################################################## Use REPLY-ALL to reply to list To unsubscribe from the QSERV-L list, click the following link: https://listserv.slac.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=QSERV-L&A=1
