ufc.py is not installed first time install is run

[Prof Garth Wells]

ufc.py is not installed the first time python setup.py install ..... is run.

Very strange. I did a clean install with Dorsal and then ufc.py did not get installed.

But then I tried to replicate this by first removing everything related to UFC and then reinstalling UFC manually. Then ufc.py did get installed:

$ find $FENICS_DIR | grep ufc | xargs rm -rf
$ find $FENICS_DIR | grep ufc
$ rm -rf build
$ python setup.py install --prefix=$FENICS_DIR
...
copying build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.7/ufc/ufc.py -> /home/logg/scratch/src/fenics/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ufc
...
byte-compiling /home/logg/scratch/src/fenics/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ufc/ufc.py to ufc.pyc
...
$ find $FENICS_DIR | grep ufc.py
/home/logg/scratch/src/fenics/src/ffc/ufc/ufc.py

There is a generated ufc.py in the ufc subdirectory. Try this:

$ rm -rf build/ local/ ufc/ufc.py ufc/ufc_wrap.cpp
$ python setup.py install --prefix=$PWD/local
...
$ find local/ | grep ufc.py
$ python setup.py install --prefix=$PWD/local
...
$ find local/ | grep ufc.py
local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ufc/ufc.py
local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ufc/ufc.pyc

So how do we make sure this gets generated before distutils copies the files?

[Johannes Ring]

Not sure. I have tried several different things, but not found a solution yet. Will keep trying.

[Johannes Ring]

Make sure build_ext produces ufc.py before build_py tries to copy it (fixes issue #20).
