I would like to install the ingresdbi python package (http://code.ingres.com/ingres/drivers/python/main/) under a project I am creating. So I would like to specify the directory of my choice (inside the python project hierarchy) instead of the default one. Is this achievable? In addition, is there a way to create an .egg or something to distribute the package along with my python project, so that someone would not need to have installed it to their system?

python setup.py install --prefix=/some/path ? python setup.py bdist_egg ? (from memory). Or is this particular module unusual in some respect? – Croad Langshan Mar 01 '15 at 20:19

Actually, I can't do the things you have proposed Croad. For both I get: `usage: setup.py [global_opts] cmd1 [cmd1_opts] [cmd2 [cmd2_opts] ...] or: setup.py --help [cmd1 cmd2 ...] or: setup.py --help-commands` – George Tseres Mar 02 '15 at 11:23

Yes, I didn't look it up or test it, hence question marks. Google / read docs and you should find it though: the actual commands are similar to what I wrote, and I have used them in the past. I guess it's setup.py build bdist_egg (again, I didn't check the detail)? With install possibly you may need to use both install and build commands to access needed options? Don't remember for sure. – Croad Langshan Mar 02 '15 at 22:30

From How do I create Python eggs from distutils source packages? you could try
python -c "import setuptools; execfile('setup.py')" bdist_egg
or checkout https://github.com/grantc/python-ingresdbi/tree/egg which gives you the option to use bdist_egg.
As for the installation prefix - I'd have to take a look. I no longer have a working Ingres installation and I'm not sure when I'd be able to look in to this.
