setup.py fails on Windows due to incorrect handling of sub-directories for packages

[munslowa]

Install on Windows fails with package directory 'lib\iris_pyke_rules' does not exist. This is due to find_package_tree not handling the fact that \lib\iris\fileformats directory contains a sub-directory.

Tests carried out on Windows 7.

When running find_package_tree() under linux I get the following:

>>> find_package_tree('lib/iris', 'iris')
['iris', 'iris.analysis', 'iris.fileformats', 'iris.io', 'iris.tests', 'iris.fileformats._pyke_rules']

which suggests it is descending into fileformats. What output do you get under Windows?

As it is, this ticket is neither actionable nor repeatable, so unless more info is provided, is destined to sit here indefinitely... (or get closed by me)

I'm not sure what you have provided is the whole story. Have you successfully run python setup.py build_ext? Would you mind posting your full setup to get to this state (and the full traceback as to how you found out about this error).

Finally, it is worth noting that Iris is not yet supported on Windows, although I am sure it will end up on the roadmap (once a roadmap exists).

Thanks,

line 31 changed '/' for os.sep. install now preceeds to building standard names but then fails with another error.
Closing issue.

Did you submit this as a PR? We would certainly want to keep this change.
