Creating Built Distributions
****************************
A "built distribution" is what you're probably used to thinking of either as a
"binary package" or an "installer" (depending on your background). It's not
necessarily binary, though, because it might contain only Python source code
and/or byte-code; and we don't call it a package, because that word is already
spoken for in Python. (And "installer" is a term specific to the world of
mainstream desktop systems.)
A built distribution is how you make life as easy as possible for installers of
your module distribution: for users of RPM-based Linux systems, it's a binary
RPM; for Windows users, it's an executable installer; for Debian-based Linux
users, it's a Debian package; and so forth. Obviously, no one person will be
able to create built distributions for every platform under the sun, so the
Distutils are designed to enable module developers to concentrate on their
specialty---writing code and creating source distributions---while an
intermediary species called *packagers* springs up to turn source distributions
into built distributions for as many platforms as there are packagers.
Of course, the module developer could be his own packager; or the packager could
be a volunteer "out there" somewhere who has access to a platform which the
original developer does not; or it could be software periodically grabbing new
source distributions and turning them into built distributions for as many
platforms as the software has access to. Regardless of who they are, a packager
uses the setup script and the :command:`bdist` command family to generate built
distributions.
As a simple example, if I run the following command in the Distutils source
tree::
python setup.py bdist
then the Distutils builds my module distribution (the Distutils itself in this
case), does a "fake" installation (also in the :file:`build` directory), and
creates the default type of built distribution for my platform. The default
format for built distributions is a "dumb" tar file on Unix, and a simple
executable installer on Windows. (That tar file is considered "dumb" because it
has to be unpacked in a specific location to work.)
Thus, the above command on a Unix system creates
:file:`Distutils-1.0.{plat}.tar.gz`; unpacking this tarball from the right place
installs the Distutils just as though you had downloaded the source distribution
and run ``python setup.py install``. (The "right place" is either the root of
the filesystem or Python's :file:`{prefix}` directory, depending on the options
given to the :command:`bdist_dumb` command; the default is to make dumb
distributions relative to :file:`{prefix}`.)
Obviously, for pure Python distributions, this isn't any simpler than just
running ``python setup.py install``\ ---but for non-pure distributions, which
include extensions that would need to be compiled, it can mean the difference
between someone being able to use your extensions or not. And creating "smart"
built distributions, such as an RPM package or an executable installer for
Windows, is far more convenient for users even if your distribution doesn't
include any extensions.
The :command:`bdist` command has a :option:`!--formats` option, similar to the
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
:command:`sdist` command, which you can use to select the types of built
distribution to generate: for example, ::
python setup.py bdist --format=zip
would, when run on a Unix system, create :file:`Distutils-1.0.{plat}.zip`\
---again, this archive would be unpacked from the root directory to install the
Distutils.
The available formats for built distributions are:
+-------------+------------------------------+---------+

of the standard Python library since Python 1.6)
(5)

--version`` to find out which version you have)
You don't have to use the :command:`bdist` command with the :option:`!--formats`
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
option; you can also use the command that directly implements the format you're
interested in. Some of these :command:`bdist` "sub-commands" actually generate
several similar formats; for instance, the :command:`bdist_dumb` command
generates all the "dumb" archive formats (``tar``, ``gztar``, ``bztar``,
``xztar``, ``ztar``, and ``zip``), and :command:`bdist_rpm` generates both
binary and source RPMs. The :command:`bdist` sub-commands, and the formats
generated by each, are:
+--------------------------+-------------------------------------+
| Command | Formats |
+==========================+=====================================+
| :command:`bdist_dumb` | tar, gztar, bztar, xztar, ztar, zip |
+--------------------------+-------------------------------------+

The following sections give details on the individual :command:`bdist_\*`
commands.

2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. _creating-rpms:
Creating RPM packages
=====================
The RPM format is used by many popular Linux distributions, including Red Hat,
SuSE, and Mandrake. If one of these (or any of the other RPM-based Linux
distributions) is your usual environment, creating RPM packages for other users
of that same distribution is trivial. Depending on the complexity of your module
distribution and differences between Linux distributions, you may also be able
to create RPMs that work on different RPM-based distributions.
The usual way to create an RPM of your module distribution is to run the
:command:`bdist_rpm` command::
python setup.py bdist_rpm
or the :command:`bdist` command with the :option:`!--format` option::
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
python setup.py bdist --formats=rpm
The former allows you to specify RPM-specific options; the latter allows you to
easily specify multiple formats in one run. If you need to do both, you can
explicitly specify multiple :command:`bdist_\*` commands and their options::
python setup.py bdist_rpm --packager="John Doe <jdoe@example.org>" \
2010-08-02 16:16:34 -03:00
bdist_wininst --target-version="2.0"
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Creating RPM packages is driven by a :file:`.spec` file, much as using the
Distutils is driven by the setup script. To make your life easier, the
:command:`bdist_rpm` command normally creates a :file:`.spec` file based on the
information you supply in the setup script, on the command line, and in any
Distutils configuration files. Various options and sections in the
:file:`.spec` file are derived from options in the setup script as follows:
+------------------------------------------+----------------------------------------------+
| RPM :file:`.spec` file option or section | Distutils setup script option |
+==========================================+==============================================+
| Name | ``name`` |
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
+------------------------------------------+----------------------------------------------+
| Summary (in preamble) | ``description`` |
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
+------------------------------------------+----------------------------------------------+
| Version | ``version`` |
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
+------------------------------------------+----------------------------------------------+
| Vendor | ``author`` and ``author_email``, |
| | or --- & ``maintainer`` and |
| | ``maintainer_email`` |
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
+------------------------------------------+----------------------------------------------+
| Copyright | ``license`` |

+------------------------------------------+----------------------------------------------+
| %description (section) | ``long_description`` |
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
+------------------------------------------+----------------------------------------------+
Additionally, there are many options in :file:`.spec` files that don't have
corresponding options in the setup script. Most of these are handled through
options to the :command:`bdist_rpm` command as follows:
+-------------------------------+-----------------------------+-------------------------+
| RPM :file:`.spec` file option | :command:`bdist_rpm` option | default value |
| or section | | |

Obviously, supplying even a few of these options on the command-line would be
tedious and error-prone, so it's usually best to put them in the setup
configuration file, :file:`setup.cfg`\ ---see section :ref:`setup-config`. If
you distribute or package many Python module distributions, you might want to
put options that apply to all of them in your personal Distutils configuration
file (:file:`~/.pydistutils.cfg`). If you want to temporarily disable
this file, you can pass the :option:`!--no-user-cfg` option to :file:`setup.py`.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
There are three steps to building a binary RPM package, all of which are
handled automatically by the Distutils:
#. create a :file:`.spec` file, which describes the package (analogous to the
Distutils setup script; in fact, much of the information in the setup script
winds up in the :file:`.spec` file)
#. create the source RPM
#. create the "binary" RPM (which may or may not contain binary code, depending
on whether your module distribution contains Python extensions)
Normally, RPM bundles the last two steps together; when you use the Distutils,
all three steps are typically bundled together.
If you wish, you can separate these three steps. You can use the
:option:`!--spec-only` option to make :command:`bdist_rpm` just create the
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
:file:`.spec` file and exit; in this case, the :file:`.spec` file will be
written to the "distribution directory"---normally :file:`dist/`, but
customizable with the :option:`!--dist-dir` option. (Normally, the :file:`.spec`
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
file winds up deep in the "build tree," in a temporary directory created by
:command:`bdist_rpm`.)
.. % \XXX{this isn't implemented yet---is it needed?!}
.. % You can also specify a custom \file{.spec} file with the
.. % \longprogramopt{spec-file} option; used in conjunction with
.. % \longprogramopt{spec-only}, this gives you an opportunity to customize
.. % the \file{.spec} file manually:
2009-01-03 17:18:54 -04:00
.. %
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. % \ begin{verbatim}
.. % > python setup.py bdist_rpm --spec-only
.. % # ...edit dist/FooBar-1.0.spec
.. % > python setup.py bdist_rpm --spec-file=dist/FooBar-1.0.spec
.. % \ end{verbatim}
2009-01-03 17:18:54 -04:00
.. %
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. % (Although a better way to do this is probably to override the standard
.. % \command{bdist\_rpm} command with one that writes whatever else you want
.. % to the \file{.spec} file.)
.. _creating-wininst:
Creating Windows Installers
===========================
Executable installers are the natural format for binary distributions on
Windows. They display a nice graphical user interface, display some information
about the module distribution to be installed taken from the metadata in the
setup script, let the user select a few options, and start or cancel the
installation.
Since the metadata is taken from the setup script, creating Windows installers
is usually as easy as running::
python setup.py bdist_wininst
or the :command:`bdist` command with the :option:`!--formats` option::
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
python setup.py bdist --formats=wininst
If you have a pure module distribution (only containing pure Python modules and
packages), the resulting installer will be version independent and have a name
like :file:`foo-1.0.win32.exe`. These installers can even be created on Unix
platforms or Mac OS X.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
If you have a non-pure distribution, the extensions can only be created on a
Windows platform, and will be Python version dependent. The installer filename
will reflect this and now has the form :file:`foo-1.0.win32-py2.0.exe`. You
have to create a separate installer for every Python version you want to
support.

The new implementation of bind_port() will actually raise an exception if it is passed an AF_INET/SOCK_STREAM socket with either the SO_REUSEADDR or SO_REUSEPORT socket option set. Furthermore, if available, bind_port() will set the SO_EXCLUSIVEADDRUSE option on the socket it's been passed. This currently only applies to Windows. This option prevents any other sockets from binding to the host/port we've bound to, thus removing the possibility of the 'non-deterministic' behaviour, as Microsoft puts it, that occurs when a second SOCK_STREAM socket binds and accepts to a host/port that's already been bound by another socket. The optional preferred port parameter to bind_port() has been removed. Under no circumstances should tests be hard coding ports! test_support.find_unused_port() has also been introduced, which will pass a temporary socket object to bind_port() in order to obtain an unused port. The temporary socket object is then closed and deleted, and the port is returned. This method should only be used for obtaining an unused port in order to pass to an external program (i.e. the -accept [port] argument to openssl's s_server mode) or as a parameter to a server-oriented class that doesn't give you direct access to the underlying socket used. Finally, test_support.HOST has been introduced, which should be used for the host argument of any relevant socket calls (i.e. bind and connect). The following tests were updated to following the new conventions: test_socket, test_smtplib, test_asyncore, test_ssl, test_httplib, test_poplib, test_ftplib, test_telnetlib, test_socketserver, test_asynchat and test_socket_ssl.

The new implementation of bind_port() will actually raise an exception if it is passed an AF_INET/SOCK_STREAM socket with either the SO_REUSEADDR or SO_REUSEPORT socket option set. Furthermore, if available, bind_port() will set the SO_EXCLUSIVEADDRUSE option on the socket it's been passed. This currently only applies to Windows. This option prevents any other sockets from binding to the host/port we've bound to, thus removing the possibility of the 'non-deterministic' behaviour, as Microsoft puts it, that occurs when a second SOCK_STREAM socket binds and accepts to a host/port that's already been bound by another socket. The optional preferred port parameter to bind_port() has been removed. Under no circumstances should tests be hard coding ports! test_support.find_unused_port() has also been introduced, which will pass a temporary socket object to bind_port() in order to obtain an unused port. The temporary socket object is then closed and deleted, and the port is returned. This method should only be used for obtaining an unused port in order to pass to an external program (i.e. the -accept [port] argument to openssl's s_server mode) or as a parameter to a server-oriented class that doesn't give you direct access to the underlying socket used. Finally, test_support.HOST has been introduced, which should be used for the host argument of any relevant socket calls (i.e. bind and connect). The following tests were updated to following the new conventions: test_socket, test_smtplib, test_asyncore, test_ssl, test_httplib, test_poplib, test_ftplib, test_telnetlib, test_socketserver, test_asynchat and test_socket_ssl.

To cross-compile, you must download the Python source code and cross-compile
Python itself for the platform you are targeting - it is not possible from a

not included.) In practice, this means the user of a 32 bit operating
system will need to use Visual Studio 2008 to open the
:file:`PCBuild/PCbuild.sln` solution in the Python source tree and build the
"x64" configuration of the 'pythoncore' project before cross-compiling

Note that by default, Visual Studio 2008 does not install 64bit compilers or

Starting with Python 2.3, a postinstallation script can be specified with the
:option:`!--install-script` option. The basename of the script must be
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
specified, and the script filename must also be listed in the scripts argument
to the setup function.
This script will be run at installation time on the target system after all the
files have been copied, with ``argv[1]`` set to :option:`!-install`, and again at
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
uninstallation time before the files are removed with ``argv[1]`` set to
:option:`!-remove`.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
The installation script runs embedded in the windows installer, every output
(``sys.stdout``, ``sys.stderr``) is redirected into a buffer and will be
displayed in the GUI after the script has finished.
Some functions especially useful in this context are available as additional
built-in functions in the installation script.
.. function:: directory_created(path)
file_created(path)
These functions should be called when a directory or file is created by the
postinstall script at installation time. It will register *path* with the
uninstaller, so that it will be removed when the distribution is uninstalled.
To be safe, directories are only removed if they are empty.
.. function:: get_special_folder_path(csidl_string)
This function can be used to retrieve special folder locations on Windows like
the Start Menu or the Desktop. It returns the full path to the folder.
*csidl_string* must be one of the following strings::
"CSIDL_APPDATA"
"CSIDL_COMMON_STARTMENU"
"CSIDL_STARTMENU"
"CSIDL_COMMON_DESKTOPDIRECTORY"
"CSIDL_DESKTOPDIRECTORY"
"CSIDL_COMMON_STARTUP"
"CSIDL_STARTUP"
"CSIDL_COMMON_PROGRAMS"
"CSIDL_PROGRAMS"
"CSIDL_FONTS"
If the folder cannot be retrieved, :exc:`OSError` is raised.
Which folders are available depends on the exact Windows version, and probably
also the configuration. For details refer to Microsoft's documentation of the
:c:func:`SHGetSpecialFolderPath` function.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. function:: create_shortcut(target, description, filename[, arguments[, workdir[, iconpath[, iconindex]]]])
This function creates a shortcut. *target* is the path to the program to be
started by the shortcut. *description* is the description of the shortcut.
*filename* is the title of the shortcut that the user will see. *arguments*
specifies the command line arguments, if any. *workdir* is the working directory
for the program. *iconpath* is the file containing the icon for the shortcut,
and *iconindex* is the index of the icon in the file *iconpath*. Again, for
details consult the Microsoft documentation for the :class:`IShellLink`
interface.
