setup.py install --record-rpm lists _yaml.so even if not build

[werner.ho@…]

pyyaml version 3.06. the bug wasn't there in 3.05

I'm installing pyyaml with the following command to create an rpm package:

python setup.py install --prefix=%{_prefix} \
		--root=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT \
		--record-rpm=INSTALLED_FILES

Inside the file INSTALLED_FILES the _yaml.so file is listed even if that file is not installed.

/usr/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/yaml/resolver.pyc
/usr/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/yaml/scanner.pyc
/usr/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/_yaml.so
/usr/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/PyYAML-3.06-py2.5.egg-info
%dir /usr/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/yaml

Workaround: Either remove that line from the file before packaging or just do not use the file listing.

Regards Werner

--record-rpm is a non-standard distutils extension so I cannot reproduce this bug. However I hope this problem was fixed in [301]. I'm closing this ticket, but feel free to reopen it if the problem persists.
