manpage `install.sh` step incorrectly assumes self.prefix is set

Open dnwe opened this issue 9 years ago • 0 comments

The setup.py seems to expect self.prefix (and self.root) to never be None. However, this fails on a --user or --home install.

e.g.,

$ pip3 install --upgrade --egg --user https://github.com/simon-r/dr14_t.meter/archive/master.zip
...
Traceback (most recent call last):

    prefix = re.sub( r'^/' , '' , self.prefix )

    return _compile(pattern, flags).sub(repl, string, count)

I think you should just be using self.install_data as the prefix under which to put the man files.
