<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Thank you. </div> </div>It would be very nice to have in the documentation few words about "python setup.py" process. To understand what is going behind this command.

If you are going to over simplify what was done, yes, we are 'forcing' the user to install a pointer for the libraries inside a system wide library dir. Now if you use the local install, that will be restricted into the user's profile. I promise this was all done for a good reason. Having plugins installed as setuptools entry points is more clear and standard than our previous custom method. Unfortunately, my new job's assignments are leaving me busy, so I have limited time to spend with this. I'll try to help by answering and delegating tasks, like I just did :) On Wed, Jan 6, 2016 at 3:03 PM, Andrei Stepanov <<a href="mailto:astepano@redhat.com" target="_blank">astepano@redhat.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> Thanks, it helps. Above step definitely breaks system integrity. This is a bit unclear. Why do we install development version into system? Do we have some documentation that brings more light on this? Or some policy? Or.... I understand that Avocado is under active development, but, Is there some advice for Avocado users? What version should we use and develop for? Spice-qe team uses Avocado from git, mainly because there is no RPMs for all OS versions/architectures/releases/betas/alphas/etc that we are interested in. Could you give more information about setup.py step? Do I right understand, that you force us to install avocado into system? Before it NewYear it was possible to use Avocado directly from git repo (make links, all this configs), but not now. Did I miss something? Sorry, if I wrote something wrong.
