Hi Thomas:

Thanks for the reply. I still have some questions

Yes I am reading up on setup.py.

The default is installing the main programme (showcoordinates) in the
home/andrew directory of my N9
(which is the same as my home machine, a Ubuntu machine)? How do I change
this to go in say, /opt
on the N9?

On the Joshua King blog, he talks about setting sys.prefix. However it is
unclear to me where this is set?
I am assuming setup.py. I know from using setup.py, I can give setup.py
command line options like prefix.

Thanks. On a related note, I don't see an icon generated for my application
(yes yes it is a command line programme).

Another question: my aegis manifest is empty. I am assuming it is my
responsible to populate it accordingly?

To put everything into context, for now I want the ability to run command
line programmes that need the security properly
set. I thought that Pyside Assistant would take care of the Aegis framework
for me. I am happy to invoke the programme from the
command line or from pressing an icon.

Cheers,
Andrew
