Hello OpenSuse-Team, [I hope, this is the correct mailing list, but I couldn't find one that seemed to suit better.] I am currently writing a small application in Python and use distutils to distribute it. I tested the installation on different distributions and it worked fine everywhere (Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, even on Windows), but on OpenSuse, I had the following problem: I install an icon in setup.py with setup(....., data_files = [('share/myapp', 'data/someicon.png')], ...) According to http://docs.python.org/dist/node13.html this icon should be installed to sys.prefix/share/myapp/someicon.png and I use this path in my application to access the icon. In OpenSuse, however, the icon (and all other files) are installed under /usr/local, although sys.prefix is '/usr' and thus my application gives an error, because the icon can not be found. Of course, I could write a workaround and additionally test /usr/share/... for the icon, but that would be quite an unsatisfactory solution. Is there a certain reason for this behavior? Why does OpenSuse behave differently than most other distributions?
