[reportlab-users] Install fails under virtualenv

[Tim Lesher]

I'm trying to install ReportLab toolkit 2.1 in a virtualenv environment
(i.e., without root privileges), but installation is failing.

The issue seems to be the manual path munging that the setup.py script does
in package_home().  It always picks up the system-wide lib installation,
rather than the local one.

Is there any reason not to use distutils' package_data argument to setup()
instead?

Just removing "data_files=DATA_FILES.items()" and replacing it with
"package_data={'reportlab': _FILES}" appears to do the right thing in my
testing.

Thanks.
