Description

Determine how appionlib folder should be installed.

Currently, if you copy myami to site-packages it works for sinedon, pyami, leginon, pyscope, etc. EXCEPT appionlib, because appionlib is in the appion folder.

There are three ways to properly install appionlib:

Tell users to put appionlib folder directly in site-packages
Tell users to put appionlib folder directly in PYTHONPATH
Move appionlib to myami root directory

a typical site-packages folder is: /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/

Created source:trunk/appion/setup.py so appion can be installed in the python way. To install both appionlib and all the scripts from bin to their proper system locations, run the following as root user:

    python setup.py install

Or if you prefer to install to a custom location, which does not necessarily require being root, you can use various options to the above command which are documented by running:

     python setup.py --help install

For example, this will install to a custom destination in my home directory:

     python setup.py install --install-scripts=/home/pulokas/bin --install-lib=/home/pulokas/site-packages

Currently, setup.py only installs .py files in appionlib and bin subdirectories. See http://docs.python.org/distutils/setupscript.html for additional configuration that can be put into setup.py, for example to install some of the other things not in bin or appionlib.
