future.pyplot not getting packaged

[Owen Arnold]

Major issue (but easy fix) that somehow got though unscripted testing prior to beta testing!

• Download a nightly build of Mantid
• Install and open the aforementioned MantidPlot instance and run this in the script window

  from pymantidplot.future.pyplot import *
  

• You get an import error

  ImportError: No module named future.pyplot
    at line 1 in 'New script'
  

Looks like subdirectories of the package are not being copied over.

ship files inside pymantiplot.future with manual install(), re #10799

I think this is now fixed, the missing files are now installed explicitly, using install() similarly as the pymantiplot and ipython files. All the platforms seem to be happy with the changes. To test there are different alternatives:

• make sure that the following files are included in the generated package (inside bin/pymantidplot/future): pyplot.py, pyplot.pyc, __init__.py, __init__.pyc) when you build it with cpack.

• install the package (or, as an alternative one of the latest develop_incremental packages) and check that you can do

  from pymantidplot.future.pyplot import *
  

as in the ticket description but without errors. This is the real test, and implies that the next point should be fine:

• Check that the future subdirectory and the four files listed above are included in the latest build artifacts from develop_incremental, for example here: ​http://builds.mantidproject.org/job/develop_incremental/label=rhel6-build/ ("Last successful artifacts"), or here: ​http://builds.mantidproject.org/job/develop_incremental/label=ubuntu-14.04-build/. You can check this quickly with dpkg -c, or rpm -qlp. For max and windows packages it seems that the only thing that you can do from the integration servers is to to open the workspace and look inside 'build/bin/Release' from here: ​http://builds.mantidproject.org/job/develop_incremental/label=win7-build/
