[Gmsh] gmsh 2.12.0 : gmshpy : installation directory

[Fabien Rozar]

Hello, 

I am a postdoc at LMGC in Montpellier with Frédéric Dubois as advisor. For 
some user case of our software, LMGC90, we use the python module 'gmshpy'. 

In order to use it on a new computer, I need to install it. I downloaded the 
source of gmsh 2.12.0 from the web page : 
http://gmsh.info/ 

Before the compilation, I configured the generation of 'gmshpy' with : 
$ cd build 
$ cmake -DENABLE_WRAP_PYTHON=ON .../gmsh-2.12.0-source 
$ make 

The module 'gmshpy' is well build under 'build/wrappers/gmshpy'. 

The point is that, after the installation step : 
$ sudo make install 

the directory 'build/wrappers/gmshpy' is copied in '/usr/local' whereas 
this directory is not part of python default search directories : 
$ python -c "import sys; print '\n'.join(sys.path)" 
/usr/lib/python2.7 
/usr/lib/python2.7/plat-x86_64-linux-gnu 
/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-tk 
/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-old 
/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload 
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages 
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages 
/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7 

Question : Could you provide a release where the directory 'build/wrappers/gmshpy' is installed (copied) 
in one of the python default search directories? 

(the directory '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages' seems to be the more suitable) 

Best regards, 
ROZAR Fabien
