#!/usr/bin/env python

# Mapnik uses the build tool SCons.

# This python file is run to compile a plugin
# It must be called from the main 'SConstruct' file like:

# SConscript('path/to/this/file.py')

# see docs at: http://www.scons.org/wiki/SConscript()

import os

# Give this plugin a name
# here this happens to be the same as the directory
PLUGIN_NAME = 'hello'

# Here we pull from the SCons environment exported from the main instance
Import ('plugin_base')
Import ('env')

# the below install details are also pulled from the
# main SConstruct file where configuration happens

# plugins can go anywhere, and be registered in custom locations by Mapnik
# but the standard location is '/usr/local/lib/mapnik/input'
