[Solved] Python: Creating AUR package, binary can't find python module

I'm building a PKGBUILD for PyLotRO for the AUR and I'm using a Debian package.  I tried just copying the content of the data.tar.gz to the filesystem assuming the directory structure is the same for the packages but apparently it is not.  At least I'm figuring this is a filesystem problem but I don't know enough about python to be sure.  When I start the program, this is what I'm getting:

pylotro
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/pylotro", line 31, in <module>
    import PyLotROLauncher.Runner
ImportError: No module named PyLotROLauncher.Runner

I can see the file in the package that (I would think) would be the responsible module:

/usr/share/pyshared/PyLotROLauncher/Runner.py

So I'm thinking the python package must store modules in a different location?????

The package requires: 4suite, python, and pyqt.  Any thoughts about what do I need to do here??

Did you try putting stuff in /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ ?

Re: [Solved] Python: Creating AUR package, binary can't find python module

why you are using debian package rather that the source?

http://www.lotrolinux.com/PyLotRO-0.1.11.tar.bz2

cd $srcdir/PyLotRO-$pkgver 
python setup.py install --root=$pkgdir || return 1

should be enough

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Yes, 'site-packages' is the correct place.  Thank you Nezmer.

Ah, beautiful.  Wasn't aware before that python install script could define a destdir.  Much better way of doing it.  Thanks wonder.
