Installing Python scripts from automake…

The author discusses their efforts to simplify the process for developers to compile and install Membase by enhancing the build system with automake. They express a preference for focusing on coding rather than on manual build configurations and aim to avoid cluttering the /bin directory with library files. To address this, the author devises a strategy to package Python components more effectively, integrating a wrapper script into an automake-generated makefile to manage the PYTHONPATH variable. After consulting the automake manual, they find a straightforward solution and share their approach in a blog post. The solution involves updating the configure.ac file to generate a wrapper script, defining rules in Makefile.am to generate necessary scripts, and organizing Python files into a designated directory. They detail the creation of a "pythonlibdir" to house Python files, ensuring the execute bit is set for certain scripts, thereby streamlining the installation process.
