:mod:`distutils.core` --- Core Distutils functionality
======================================================
.. module:: distutils.core
:synopsis: The core Distutils functionality
The :mod:`distutils.core` module is the only module that needs to be installed
to use the Distutils. It provides the :func:`setup` (which is called from the
setup script). Indirectly provides the :class:`distutils.dist.Distribution` and
:class:`distutils.cmd.Command` class.
.. function:: setup(arguments)
The basic do-everything function that does most everything you could ever ask
for from a Distutils method.

.. function:: run_setup(script_name[, script_args=None, stop_after='run'])
Run a setup script in a somewhat controlled environment, and return the
:class:`distutils.dist.Distribution` instance that drives things. This is
useful if you need to find out the distribution meta-data (passed as keyword
args from *script* to :func:`setup`), or the contents of the config files or
command-line.
*script_name* is a file that will be read and run with :func:`exec`. ``sys.argv[0]``
will be replaced with *script* for the duration of the call. *script_args* is a
list of strings; if supplied, ``sys.argv[1:]`` will be replaced by *script_args*
for the duration of the call.
*stop_after* tells :func:`setup` when to stop processing; possible values:
+---------------+---------------------------------------------+
| value | description |
+===============+=============================================+
| *init* | Stop after the :class:`Distribution` |
| | instance has been created and populated |
| | with the keyword arguments to :func:`setup` |
+---------------+---------------------------------------------+
| *config* | Stop after config files have been parsed |
| | (and their data stored in the |
| | :class:`Distribution` instance) |
+---------------+---------------------------------------------+
| *commandline* | Stop after the command-line |
| | (``sys.argv[1:]`` or *script_args*) have |
| | been parsed (and the data stored in the |
| | :class:`Distribution` instance.) |
+---------------+---------------------------------------------+
| *run* | Stop after all commands have been run (the |
| | same as if :func:`setup` had been called |
| | in the usual way). This is the default |
| | value. |
+---------------+---------------------------------------------+
In addition, the :mod:`distutils.core` module exposed a number of classes that
live elsewhere.

A short description of each of these follows, but see the relevant module for
the full reference.
.. class:: Extension
The Extension class describes a single C or C++extension module in a setup
script. It accepts the following keyword arguments in its constructor
+------------------------+--------------------------------+---------------------------+
| argument name | value | type |
+========================+================================+===========================+
| *name* | the full name of the | a string |
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00

+------------------------+--------------------------------+---------------------------+
| *sources* | list of source filenames, | a list of strings |
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
| | relative to the distribution | |
| | root (where the setup script | |
| | lives), in Unix form (slash- | |
| | separated) for portability. | |
| | Source files may be C, C++, | |
| | SWIG (.i), platform-specific | |
| | resource files, or whatever | |
| | else is recognized by the | |
| | :command:`build_ext` command | |
| | as source for a Python | |
| | extension. | |
+------------------------+--------------------------------+---------------------------+
| *include_dirs* | list of directories to search | a list of strings |
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
| | for C/C++ header files (in | |
| | Unix form for portability) | |
+------------------------+--------------------------------+---------------------------+
| *define_macros* | list of macros to define; each | a list of tuples |
| | macro is defined using a | |
| | 2-tuple ``(name, value)``, | |
| | where *value* is | |
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
| | either the string to define it | |
| | to or ``None`` to define it | |
| | without a particular value | |

2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
| | for C/C++ libraries at link | |
| | time | |
+------------------------+--------------------------------+---------------------------+
| *libraries* | list of library names (not | a list of strings |
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
| | filenames or paths) to link | |
| | against | |
+------------------------+--------------------------------+---------------------------+
| *runtime_library_dirs* | list of directories to search | a list of strings |
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
| | for C/C++ libraries at run | |
| | time (for shared extensions, | |
| | this is when the extension is | |
| | loaded) | |
+------------------------+--------------------------------+---------------------------+
| *extra_objects* | list of extra files to link | a list of strings |
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
| | with (eg. object files not | |
| | implied by 'sources', static | |
| | library that must be | |
| | explicitly specified, binary | |
| | resource files, etc.) | |
+------------------------+--------------------------------+---------------------------+
| *extra_compile_args* | any extra platform- and | a list of strings |
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
| | compiler-specific information | |
| | to use when compiling the | |
| | source files in 'sources'. For | |
| | platforms and compilers where | |
| | a command line makes sense, | |
| | this is typically a list of | |
| | command-line arguments, but | |
| | for other platforms it could | |
| | be anything. | |
+------------------------+--------------------------------+---------------------------+
| *extra_link_args* | any extra platform- and | a list of strings |
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
| | compiler-specific information | |
| | to use when linking object | |
| | files together to create the | |
| | extension (or to create a new | |
| | static Python interpreter). | |
| | Similar interpretation as for | |
| | 'extra_compile_args'. | |
+------------------------+--------------------------------+---------------------------+
| *export_symbols* | list of symbols to be exported | a list of strings |
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
| | from a shared extension. Not | |
| | used on all platforms, and not | |
| | generally necessary for Python | |
| | extensions, which typically | |
| | export exactly one symbol: | |
| | ``init`` + extension_name. | |
+------------------------+--------------------------------+---------------------------+
| *depends* | list of files that the | a list of strings |
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
| | extension depends on | |
+------------------------+--------------------------------+---------------------------+
| *language* | extension language (i.e. | a string |
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
| | ``'c'``, ``'c++'``, | |
| | ``'objc'``). Will be detected | |
| | from the source extensions if | |
| | not provided. | |
+------------------------+--------------------------------+---------------------------+
| *optional* | specifies that a build failure | a boolean |
| | in the extension should not | |
| | abort the build process, but | |
| | simply skip the extension. | |
+------------------------+--------------------------------+---------------------------+

.. class:: Distribution
A :class:`Distribution` describes how to build, install and package up a Python
software package.
See the :func:`setup` function for a list of keyword arguments accepted by the
Distribution constructor. :func:`setup` creates a Distribution instance.
.. class:: Command
A :class:`Command` class (or rather, an instance of one of its subclasses)
implement a single distutils command.
:mod:`distutils.ccompiler` --- CCompiler base class
===================================================
.. module:: distutils.ccompiler
:synopsis: Abstract CCompiler class
This module provides the abstract base class for the :class:`CCompiler`
classes. A :class:`CCompiler` instance can be used for all the compile and
link steps needed to build a single project. Methods are provided to set
options for the compiler --- macro definitions, include directories, link path,
libraries and the like.
This module provides the following functions.
.. function:: gen_lib_options(compiler, library_dirs, runtime_library_dirs, libraries)
Generate linker options for searching library directories and linking with
specific libraries. *libraries* and *library_dirs* are, respectively, lists of
library names (not filenames!) and search directories. Returns a list of
command-line options suitable for use with some compiler (depending on the two
format strings passed in).
.. function:: gen_preprocess_options(macros, include_dirs)
Generate C pre-processor options (:option:`-D`, :option:`-U`, :option:`-I`) as
used by at least two types of compilers: the typical Unix compiler and Visual
C++. *macros* is the usual thing, a list of 1- or 2-tuples, where ``(name,)``
means undefine (:option:`-U`) macro *name*, and ``(name, value)`` means define
(:option:`-D`) macro *name* to *value*. *include_dirs* is just a list of
directory names to be added to the header file search path (:option:`-I`).
Returns a list of command-line options suitable for either Unix compilers or
Visual C++.
.. function:: get_default_compiler(osname, platform)
Determine the default compiler to use for the given platform.
*osname* should be one of the standard Python OS names (i.e. the ones returned
by ``os.name``) and *platform* the common value returned by ``sys.platform`` for
the platform in question.
The default values are ``os.name`` and ``sys.platform`` in case the parameters
are not given.
.. function:: new_compiler(plat=None, compiler=None, verbose=0, dry_run=0, force=0)
Factory function to generate an instance of some CCompiler subclass for the
supplied platform/compiler combination. *plat* defaults to ``os.name`` (eg.
``'posix'``, ``'nt'``), and *compiler* defaults to the default compiler for
that platform. Currently only ``'posix'`` and ``'nt'`` are supported, and the
default compilers are "traditional Unix interface" (:class:`UnixCCompiler`
class) and Visual C++ (:class:`MSVCCompiler` class). Note that it's perfectly
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
possible to ask for a Unix compiler object under Windows, and a Microsoft
compiler object under Unix---if you supply a value for *compiler*, *plat* is
ignored.
.. % Is the posix/nt only thing still true? Mac OS X seems to work, and
.. % returns a UnixCCompiler instance. How to document this... hmm.
.. function:: show_compilers()
Print list of available compilers (used by the :option:`--help-compiler` options
to :command:`build`, :command:`build_ext`, :command:`build_clib`).
.. class:: CCompiler([verbose=0, dry_run=0, force=0])
The abstract base class :class:`CCompiler` defines the interface that must be
implemented by real compiler classes. The class also has some utility methods
used by several compiler classes.
The basic idea behind a compiler abstraction class is that each instance can be
used for all the compile/link steps in building a single project. Thus,
attributes common to all of those compile and link steps --- include
directories, macros to define, libraries to link against, etc. --- are
attributes of the compiler instance. To allow for variability in how individual
files are treated, most of those attributes may be varied on a per-compilation
or per-link basis.
The constructor for each subclass creates an instance of the Compiler object.
Flags are *verbose* (show verbose output), *dry_run* (don't actually execute the
steps) and *force* (rebuild everything, regardless of dependencies). All of
these flags default to ``0`` (off). Note that you probably don't want to
instantiate :class:`CCompiler` or one of its subclasses directly - use the
:func:`distutils.CCompiler.new_compiler` factory function instead.
The following methods allow you to manually alter compiler options for the
instance of the Compiler class.
.. method:: CCompiler.add_include_dir(dir)
Add *dir* to the list of directories that will be searched for header files.
The compiler is instructed to search directories in the order in which they are
supplied by successive calls to :meth:`add_include_dir`.
.. method:: CCompiler.set_include_dirs(dirs)
Set the list of directories that will be searched to *dirs* (a list of strings).
Overrides any preceding calls to :meth:`add_include_dir`; subsequent calls to
:meth:`add_include_dir` add to the list passed to :meth:`set_include_dirs`.
This does not affect any list of standard include directories that the compiler
may search by default.
.. method:: CCompiler.add_library(libname)
Add *libname* to the list of libraries that will be included in all links driven
by this compiler object. Note that *libname* should \*not\* be the name of a
file containing a library, but the name of the library itself: the actual
filename will be inferred by the linker, the compiler, or the compiler class
(depending on the platform).
The linker will be instructed to link against libraries in the order they were
supplied to :meth:`add_library` and/or :meth:`set_libraries`. It is perfectly
valid to duplicate library names; the linker will be instructed to link against
libraries as many times as they are mentioned.
.. method:: CCompiler.set_libraries(libnames)
Set the list of libraries to be included in all links driven by this compiler
object to *libnames* (a list of strings). This does not affect any standard
system libraries that the linker may include by default.
.. method:: CCompiler.add_library_dir(dir)
Add *dir* to the list of directories that will be searched for libraries
specified to :meth:`add_library` and :meth:`set_libraries`. The linker will be
instructed to search for libraries in the order they are supplied to
:meth:`add_library_dir` and/or :meth:`set_library_dirs`.
.. method:: CCompiler.set_library_dirs(dirs)
Set the list of library search directories to *dirs* (a list of strings). This
does not affect any standard library search path that the linker may search by
default.
.. method:: CCompiler.add_runtime_library_dir(dir)
Add *dir* to the list of directories that will be searched for shared libraries
at runtime.
.. method:: CCompiler.set_runtime_library_dirs(dirs)
Set the list of directories to search for shared libraries at runtime to *dirs*
(a list of strings). This does not affect any standard search path that the
runtime linker may search by default.
.. method:: CCompiler.define_macro(name[, value=None])
Define a preprocessor macro for all compilations driven by this compiler object.
The optional parameter *value* should be a string; if it is not supplied, then
the macro will be defined without an explicit value and the exact outcome
depends on the compiler used.
.. XXX true? does ANSI say anything about this?
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. method:: CCompiler.undefine_macro(name)
Undefine a preprocessor macro for all compilations driven by this compiler
object. If the same macro is defined by :meth:`define_macro` and
undefined by :meth:`undefine_macro` the last call takes precedence
(including multiple redefinitions or undefinitions). If the macro is
redefined/undefined on a per-compilation basis (ie. in the call to
:meth:`compile`), then that takes precedence.
.. method:: CCompiler.add_link_object(object)
Add *object* to the list of object files (or analogues, such as explicitly named
library files or the output of "resource compilers") to be included in every
link driven by this compiler object.
.. method:: CCompiler.set_link_objects(objects)
Set the list of object files (or analogues) to be included in every link to
*objects*. This does not affect any standard object files that the linker may
include by default (such as system libraries).
The following methods implement methods for autodetection of compiler options,
providing some functionality similar to GNU :program:`autoconf`.
.. method:: CCompiler.detect_language(sources)
Detect the language of a given file, or list of files. Uses the instance
attributes :attr:`language_map` (a dictionary), and :attr:`language_order` (a
list) to do the job.
.. method:: CCompiler.find_library_file(dirs, lib[, debug=0])
Search the specified list of directories for a static or shared library file
*lib* and return the full path to that file. If *debug* is true, look for a
debugging version (if that makes sense on the current platform). Return
``None`` if *lib* wasn't found in any of the specified directories.
.. method:: CCompiler.has_function(funcname [, includes=None, include_dirs=None, libraries=None, library_dirs=None])
Return a boolean indicating whether *funcname* is supported on the current
platform. The optional arguments can be used to augment the compilation
environment by providing additional include files and paths and libraries and
paths.
.. method:: CCompiler.library_dir_option(dir)
Return the compiler option to add *dir* to the list of directories searched for
libraries.
.. method:: CCompiler.library_option(lib)
Return the compiler option to add *dir* to the list of libraries linked into the
shared library or executable.
.. method:: CCompiler.runtime_library_dir_option(dir)
Return the compiler option to add *dir* to the list of directories searched for
runtime libraries.
.. method:: CCompiler.set_executables(**args)
Define the executables (and options for them) that will be run to perform the
various stages of compilation. The exact set of executables that may be
specified here depends on the compiler class (via the 'executables' class
attribute), but most will have:
+--------------+------------------------------------------+
| attribute | description |
+==============+==========================================+
| *compiler* | the C/C++ compiler |
+--------------+------------------------------------------+
| *linker_so* | linker used to create shared objects and |
| | libraries |
+--------------+------------------------------------------+
| *linker_exe* | linker used to create binary executables |
+--------------+------------------------------------------+
| *archiver* | static library creator |
+--------------+------------------------------------------+
On platforms with a command-line (Unix, DOS/Windows), each of these is a string
that will be split into executable name and (optional) list of arguments.
(Splitting the string is done similarly to how Unix shells operate: words are
delimited by spaces, but quotes and backslashes can override this. See
:func:`distutils.util.split_quoted`.)
The following methods invoke stages in the build process.
.. method:: CCompiler.compile(sources[, output_dir=None, macros=None, include_dirs=None, debug=0, extra_preargs=None, extra_postargs=None, depends=None])
Compile one or more source files. Generates object files (e.g. transforms a
:file:`.c` file to a :file:`.o` file.)
*sources* must be a list of filenames, most likely C/C++ files, but in reality
anything that can be handled by a particular compiler and compiler class (eg.
:class:`MSVCCompiler` can handle resource files in *sources*). Return a list of
object filenames, one per source filename in *sources*. Depending on the
implementation, not all source files will necessarily be compiled, but all
corresponding object filenames will be returned.
If *output_dir* is given, object files will be put under it, while retaining
their original path component. That is, :file:`foo/bar.c` normally compiles to
:file:`foo/bar.o` (for a Unix implementation); if *output_dir* is *build*, then
it would compile to :file:`build/foo/bar.o`.
*macros*, if given, must be a list of macro definitions. A macro definition is
either a ``(name, value)`` 2-tuple or a ``(name,)`` 1-tuple. The former defines
a macro; if the value is ``None``, the macro is defined without an explicit
value. The 1-tuple case undefines a macro. Later
definitions/redefinitions/undefinitions take precedence.
*include_dirs*, if given, must be a list of strings, the directories to add to
the default include file search path for this compilation only.
*debug* is a boolean; if true, the compiler will be instructed to output debug
symbols in (or alongside) the object file(s).
*extra_preargs* and *extra_postargs* are implementation-dependent. On platforms
that have the notion of a command-line (e.g. Unix, DOS/Windows), they are most
likely lists of strings: extra command-line arguments to prepend/append to the
compiler command line. On other platforms, consult the implementation class
documentation. In any event, they are intended as an escape hatch for those
occasions when the abstract compiler framework doesn't cut the mustard.
*depends*, if given, is a list of filenames that all targets depend on. If a
source file is older than any file in depends, then the source file will be
recompiled. This supports dependency tracking, but only at a coarse
granularity.
Raises :exc:`CompileError` on failure.
.. method:: CCompiler.create_static_lib(objects, output_libname[, output_dir=None, debug=0, target_lang=None])
Link a bunch of stuff together to create a static library file. The "bunch of
stuff" consists of the list of object files supplied as *objects*, the extra
object files supplied to :meth:`add_link_object` and/or
:meth:`set_link_objects`, the libraries supplied to :meth:`add_library` and/or
:meth:`set_libraries`, and the libraries supplied as *libraries* (if any).
*output_libname* should be a library name, not a filename; the filename will be
inferred from the library name. *output_dir* is the directory where the library
file will be put.
.. XXX defaults to what?
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
*debug* is a boolean; if true, debugging information will be included in the
library (note that on most platforms, it is the compile step where this matters:
the *debug* flag is included here just for consistency).
*target_lang* is the target language for which the given objects are being
compiled. This allows specific linkage time treatment of certain languages.
Raises :exc:`LibError` on failure.
.. method:: CCompiler.link(target_desc, objects, output_filename[, output_dir=None, libraries=None, library_dirs=None, runtime_library_dirs=None, export_symbols=None, debug=0, extra_preargs=None, extra_postargs=None, build_temp=None, target_lang=None])
Link a bunch of stuff together to create an executable or shared library file.
The "bunch of stuff" consists of the list of object files supplied as *objects*.
*output_filename* should be a filename. If *output_dir* is supplied,
*output_filename* is relative to it (i.e. *output_filename* can provide
directory components if needed).
*libraries* is a list of libraries to link against. These are library names,
not filenames, since they're translated into filenames in a platform-specific
way (eg. *foo* becomes :file:`libfoo.a` on Unix and :file:`foo.lib` on
DOS/Windows). However, they can include a directory component, which means the
linker will look in that specific directory rather than searching all the normal
locations.
*library_dirs*, if supplied, should be a list of directories to search for
libraries that were specified as bare library names (ie. no directory
component). These are on top of the system default and those supplied to
:meth:`add_library_dir` and/or :meth:`set_library_dirs`. *runtime_library_dirs*
is a list of directories that will be embedded into the shared library and used
to search for other shared libraries that \*it\* depends on at run-time. (This
may only be relevant on Unix.)
*export_symbols* is a list of symbols that the shared library will export.
(This appears to be relevant only on Windows.)
*debug* is as for :meth:`compile` and :meth:`create_static_lib`, with the
slight distinction that it actually matters on most platforms (as opposed to
:meth:`create_static_lib`, which includes a *debug* flag mostly for form's
sake).
*extra_preargs* and *extra_postargs* are as for :meth:`compile` (except of
course that they supply command-line arguments for the particular linker being
used).
*target_lang* is the target language for which the given objects are being
compiled. This allows specific linkage time treatment of certain languages.
Raises :exc:`LinkError` on failure.
.. method:: CCompiler.link_executable(objects, output_progname[, output_dir=None, libraries=None, library_dirs=None, runtime_library_dirs=None, debug=0, extra_preargs=None, extra_postargs=None, target_lang=None])
Link an executable. *output_progname* is the name of the file executable, while
*objects* are a list of object filenames to link in. Other arguments are as for
the :meth:`link` method.
.. method:: CCompiler.link_shared_lib(objects, output_libname[, output_dir=None, libraries=None, library_dirs=None, runtime_library_dirs=None, export_symbols=None, debug=0, extra_preargs=None, extra_postargs=None, build_temp=None, target_lang=None])
Link a shared library. *output_libname* is the name of the output library,
while *objects* is a list of object filenames to link in. Other arguments are
as for the :meth:`link` method.
.. method:: CCompiler.link_shared_object(objects, output_filename[, output_dir=None, libraries=None, library_dirs=None, runtime_library_dirs=None, export_symbols=None, debug=0, extra_preargs=None, extra_postargs=None, build_temp=None, target_lang=None])
Link a shared object. *output_filename* is the name of the shared object that
will be created, while *objects* is a list of object filenames to link in.
Other arguments are as for the :meth:`link` method.
.. method:: CCompiler.preprocess(source[, output_file=None, macros=None, include_dirs=None, extra_preargs=None, extra_postargs=None])
Preprocess a single C/C++ source file, named in *source*. Output will be written
to file named *output_file*, or *stdout* if *output_file* not supplied.
*macros* is a list of macro definitions as for :meth:`compile`, which will
augment the macros set with :meth:`define_macro` and :meth:`undefine_macro`.
*include_dirs* is a list of directory names that will be added to the default
list, in the same way as :meth:`add_include_dir`.
Raises :exc:`PreprocessError` on failure.
The following utility methods are defined by the :class:`CCompiler` class, for
use by the various concrete subclasses.
.. method:: CCompiler.executable_filename(basename[, strip_dir=0, output_dir=''])
Returns the filename of the executable for the given *basename*. Typically for
non-Windows platforms this is the same as the basename, while Windows will get
a :file:`.exe` added.
.. method:: CCompiler.library_filename(libname[, lib_type='static', strip_dir=0, output_dir=''])
Returns the filename for the given library name on the current platform. On Unix
a library with *lib_type* of ``'static'`` will typically be of the form
:file:`liblibname.a`, while a *lib_type* of ``'dynamic'`` will be of the form
:file:`liblibname.so`.
.. method:: CCompiler.object_filenames(source_filenames[, strip_dir=0, output_dir=''])
Returns the name of the object files for the given source files.
*source_filenames* should be a list of filenames.
.. method:: CCompiler.shared_object_filename(basename[, strip_dir=0, output_dir=''])
Returns the name of a shared object file for the given file name *basename*.
.. method:: CCompiler.execute(func, args[, msg=None, level=1])
Invokes :func:`distutils.util.execute` This method invokes a Python function
*func* with the given arguments *args*, after logging and taking into account
the *dry_run* flag.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. method:: CCompiler.spawn(cmd)
Invokes :func:`distutils.util.spawn`. This invokes an external process to run
the given command.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. method:: CCompiler.mkpath(name[, mode=511])
Invokes :func:`distutils.dir_util.mkpath`. This creates a directory and any
missing ancestor directories.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. method:: CCompiler.move_file(src, dst)
Invokes :meth:`distutils.file_util.move_file`. Renames *src* to *dst*.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. method:: CCompiler.announce(msg[, level=1])
Write a message using :func:`distutils.log.debug`.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. method:: CCompiler.warn(msg)
Write a warning message *msg* to standard error.

.. % be created using \function{distutils.ccompiler.new_compiler()} factory
.. % function.
:mod:`distutils.unixccompiler` --- Unix C Compiler
==================================================
.. module:: distutils.unixccompiler
:synopsis: UNIX C Compiler
This module provides the :class:`UnixCCompiler` class, a subclass of
:class:`CCompiler` that handles the typical Unix-style command-line C compiler:
* macros defined with :option:`-Dname[=value]`
* macros undefined with :option:`-Uname`
* include search directories specified with :option:`-Idir`
* libraries specified with :option:`-llib`
* library search directories specified with :option:`-Ldir`
* compile handled by :program:`cc` (or similar) executable with :option:`-c`
option: compiles :file:`.c` to :file:`.o`
* link static library handled by :program:`ar` command (possibly with
:program:`ranlib`)
* link shared library handled by :program:`cc` :option:`-shared`
:mod:`distutils.msvccompiler` --- Microsoft Compiler
====================================================
.. module:: distutils.msvccompiler
:synopsis: Microsoft Compiler
This module provides :class:`MSVCCompiler`, an implementation of the abstract
:class:`CCompiler` class for Microsoft Visual Studio. Typically, extension
modules need to be compiled with the same compiler that was used to compile
Python. For Python 2.3 and earlier, the compiler was Visual Studio 6. For Python
2.4 and 2.5, the compiler is Visual Studio .NET 2003. The AMD64 and Itanium
binaries are created using the Platform SDK.
:class:`MSVCCompiler` will normally choose the right compiler, linker etc. on
its own. To override this choice, the environment variables *DISTUTILS_USE_SDK*
and *MSSdk* must be both set. *MSSdk* indicates that the current environment has
been setup by the SDK's ``SetEnv.Cmd`` script, or that the environment variables
had been registered when the SDK was installed; *DISTUTILS_USE_SDK* indicates
that the distutils user has made an explicit choice to override the compiler
selection by :class:`MSVCCompiler`.
:mod:`distutils.bcppcompiler` --- Borland Compiler
==================================================
.. module:: distutils.bcppcompiler
This module provides :class:`BorlandCCompiler`, an subclass of the abstract
:class:`CCompiler` class for the Borland C++ compiler.
:mod:`distutils.cygwincompiler` --- Cygwin Compiler
===================================================
.. module:: distutils.cygwinccompiler
This module provides the :class:`CygwinCCompiler` class, a subclass of
:class:`UnixCCompiler` that handles the Cygwin port of the GNU C compiler to
Windows. It also contains the Mingw32CCompiler class which handles the mingw32
port of GCC (same as cygwin in no-cygwin mode).
:mod:`distutils.emxccompiler` --- OS/2 EMX Compiler
===================================================
.. module:: distutils.emxccompiler
:synopsis: OS/2 EMX Compiler support
This module provides the EMXCCompiler class, a subclass of
:class:`UnixCCompiler` that handles the EMX port of the GNU C compiler to OS/2.
:mod:`distutils.archive_util` --- Archiving utilities
======================================================
.. module:: distutils.archive_util
:synopsis: Utility functions for creating archive files (tarballs, zip files, ...)
This module provides a few functions for creating archive files, such as
tarballs or zipfiles.
.. function:: make_archive(base_name, format[, root_dir=None, base_dir=None, verbose=0, dry_run=0])
Create an archive file (eg. ``zip`` or ``tar``). *base_name* is the name of
the file to create, minus any format-specific extension; *format* is the
archive format: one of ``zip``, ``tar``, ``ztar``, or ``gztar``. *root_dir* is
a directory that will be the root directory of the archive; ie. we typically
``chdir`` into *root_dir* before creating the archive. *base_dir* is the
directory where we start archiving from; ie. *base_dir* will be the common
prefix of all files and directories in the archive. *root_dir* and *base_dir*
both default to the current directory. Returns the name of the archive file.
.. function:: make_tarball(base_name, base_dir[, compress='gzip', verbose=0, dry_run=0])
'Create an (optional compressed) archive as a tar file from all files in and
under *base_dir*. *compress* must be ``'gzip'`` (the default), ``'compress'``,
``'bzip2'``, or ``None``. Both :program:`tar` and the compression utility named
by *compress* must be on the default program search path, so this is probably
Unix-specific. The output tar file will be named :file:`base_dir.tar`,
possibly plus the appropriate compression extension (:file:`.gz`, :file:`.bz2`
or :file:`.Z`). Return the output filename.
.. function:: make_zipfile(base_name, base_dir[, verbose=0, dry_run=0])
Create a zip file from all files in and under *base_dir*. The output zip file
will be named *base_name* + :file:`.zip`. Uses either the :mod:`zipfile` Python
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
module (if available) or the InfoZIP :file:`zip` utility (if installed and
found on the default search path). If neither tool is available, raises
:exc:`DistutilsExecError`. Returns the name of the output zip file.
:mod:`distutils.dep_util` --- Dependency checking
=================================================
.. module:: distutils.dep_util
:synopsis: Utility functions for simple dependency checking
This module provides functions for performing simple, timestamp-based
dependency of files and groups of files; also, functions based entirely on such
timestamp dependency analysis.
.. function:: newer(source, target)
Return true if *source* exists and is more recently modified than *target*, or
if *source* exists and *target* doesn't. Return false if both exist and *target*
is the same age or newer than *source*. Raise :exc:`DistutilsFileError` if
*source* does not exist.
.. function:: newer_pairwise(sources, targets)
Walk two filename lists in parallel, testing if each source is newer than its
corresponding target. Return a pair of lists (*sources*, *targets*) where
source is newer than target, according to the semantics of :func:`newer`
.. % % equivalent to a listcomp...
.. function:: newer_group(sources, target[, missing='error'])
Return true if *target* is out-of-date with respect to any file listed in
*sources* In other words, if *target* exists and is newer than every file in
*sources*, return false; otherwise return true. *missing* controls what we do
when a source file is missing; the default (``'error'``) is to blow up with an
:exc:`OSError` from inside :func:`os.stat`; if it is ``'ignore'``, we silently
drop any missing source files; if it is ``'newer'``, any missing source files
make us assume that *target* is out-of-date (this is handy in "dry-run" mode:
it'll make you pretend to carry out commands that wouldn't work because inputs
are missing, but that doesn't matter because you're not actually going to run
the commands).
:mod:`distutils.dir_util` --- Directory tree operations
=======================================================
.. module:: distutils.dir_util
:synopsis: Utility functions for operating on directories and directory trees
This module provides functions for operating on directories and trees of
directories.
.. function:: mkpath(name[, mode=0o777, verbose=0, dry_run=0])
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Create a directory and any missing ancestor directories. If the directory
already exists (or if *name* is the empty string, which means the current
directory, which of course exists), then do nothing. Raise
:exc:`DistutilsFileError` if unable to create some directory along the way (eg.
some sub-path exists, but is a file rather than a directory). If *verbose* is
true, print a one-line summary of each mkdir to stdout. Return the list of
directories actually created.
.. function:: create_tree(base_dir, files[, mode=0o777, verbose=0, dry_run=0])
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Create all the empty directories under *base_dir* needed to put *files* there.
*base_dir* is just the a name of a directory which doesn't necessarily exist
yet; *files* is a list of filenames to be interpreted relative to *base_dir*.
*base_dir* + the directory portion of every file in *files* will be created if
it doesn't already exist. *mode*, *verbose* and *dry_run* flags are as for
:func:`mkpath`.
.. function:: copy_tree(src, dst[, preserve_mode=1, preserve_times=1, preserve_symlinks=0, update=0, verbose=0, dry_run=0])
Copy an entire directory tree *src* to a new location *dst*. Both *src* and
*dst* must be directory names. If *src* is not a directory, raise
:exc:`DistutilsFileError`. If *dst* does not exist, it is created with
:func:`mkpath`. The end result of the copy is that every file in *src* is
copied to *dst*, and directories under *src* are recursively copied to *dst*.
Return the list of files that were copied or might have been copied, using their
output name. The return value is unaffected by *update* or *dry_run*: it is
simply the list of all files under *src*, with the names changed to be under
*dst*.
*preserve_mode* and *preserve_times* are the same as for :func:`copy_file` in
:mod:`distutils.file_util`; note that they only apply to regular files, not to
directories. If *preserve_symlinks* is true, symlinks will be copied as
symlinks (on platforms that support them!); otherwise (the default), the
destination of the symlink will be copied. *update* and *verbose* are the same
as for :func:`copy_file`.
.. function:: remove_tree(directory[, verbose=0, dry_run=0])
Recursively remove *directory* and all files and directories underneath it. Any
errors are ignored (apart from being reported to ``sys.stdout`` if *verbose* is
true).
:mod:`distutils.file_util` --- Single file operations
=====================================================
.. module:: distutils.file_util
:synopsis: Utility functions for operating on single files
This module contains some utility functions for operating on individual files.
.. function:: copy_file(src, dst[, preserve_mode=1, preserve_times=1, update=0, link=None, verbose=0, dry_run=0])
Copy file *src* to *dst*. If *dst* is a directory, then *src* is copied there
with the same name; otherwise, it must be a filename. (If the file exists, it
will be ruthlessly clobbered.) If *preserve_mode* is true (the default), the
file's mode (type and permission bits, or whatever is analogous on the
current platform) is copied. If *preserve_times* is true (the default), the
last-modified and last-access times are copied as well. If *update* is true,
*src* will only be copied if *dst* does not exist, or if *dst* does exist but
is older than *src*.
*link* allows you to make hard links (using :func:`os.link`) or symbolic links
(using :func:`os.symlink`) instead of copying: set it to ``'hard'`` or
``'sym'``; if it is ``None`` (the default), files are copied. Don't set *link*
on systems that don't support it: :func:`copy_file` doesn't check if hard or
symbolic linking is available. It uses :func:`_copy_file_contents` to copy file
contents.
Return a tuple ``(dest_name, copied)``: *dest_name* is the actual name of the
output file, and *copied* is true if the file was copied (or would have been
copied, if *dry_run* true).
.. % XXX if the destination file already exists, we clobber it if
.. % copying, but blow up if linking. Hmmm. And I don't know what
.. % macostools.copyfile() does. Should definitely be consistent, and
.. % should probably blow up if destination exists and we would be
.. % changing it (ie. it's not already a hard/soft link to src OR
.. % (not update) and (src newer than dst)).
.. function:: move_file(src, dst[, verbose, dry_run])
Move file *src* to *dst*. If *dst* is a directory, the file will be moved into
it with the same name; otherwise, *src* is just renamed to *dst*. Returns the
new full name of the file.

.. function:: write_file(filename, contents)
Create a file called *filename* and write *contents* (a sequence of strings
without line terminators) to it.
:mod:`distutils.util` --- Miscellaneous other utility functions
===============================================================
.. module:: distutils.util
:synopsis: Miscellaneous other utility functions
This module contains other assorted bits and pieces that don't fit into any
other utility module.
.. function:: get_platform()
Return a string that identifies the current platform. This is used mainly to
distinguish platform-specific build directories and platform-specific built
distributions. Typically includes the OS name and version and the architecture
(as supplied by 'os.uname()'), although the exact information included depends
on the OS; eg. for IRIX the architecture isn't particularly important (IRIX only
runs on SGI hardware), but for Linux the kernel version isn't particularly
important.
Examples of returned values:
* ``linux-i586``
* ``linux-alpha``
* ``solaris-2.6-sun4u``
* ``irix-5.3``
* ``irix64-6.2``
For non-POSIX platforms, currently just returns ``sys.platform``.

For universal binary builds on Mac OS X the architecture value reflects
the univeral binary status instead of the architecture of the current
2009-01-03 17:18:54 -04:00
processor. For 32-bit universal binaries the architecture is ``fat``,
for 64-bit universal binaries the architecture is ``fat64``, and
for 4-way universal binaries the architecture is ``universal``. Starting
from Python 2.7 and Python 3.2 the architecture ``fat3`` is used for
a 3-way universal build (ppc, i386, x86_64) and ``intel`` is used for
a univeral build with the i386 and x86_64 architectures

.. function:: convert_path(pathname)
Return 'pathname' as a name that will work on the native filesystem, i.e. split
it on '/' and put it back together again using the current directory separator.
Needed because filenames in the setup script are always supplied in Unix style,
and have to be converted to the local convention before we can actually use them
in the filesystem. Raises :exc:`ValueError` on non-Unix-ish systems if
*pathname* either starts or ends with a slash.
.. function:: change_root(new_root, pathname)
Return *pathname* with *new_root* prepended. If *pathname* is relative, this is
equivalent to ``os.path.join(new_root,pathname)`` Otherwise, it requires making
*pathname* relative and then joining the two, which is tricky on DOS/Windows.
.. function:: check_environ()
Ensure that 'os.environ' has all the environment variables we guarantee that
users can use in config files, command-line options, etc. Currently this
includes:
* :envvar:`HOME` - user's home directory (Unix only)
* :envvar:`PLAT` - description of the current platform, including hardware and
OS (see :func:`get_platform`)
.. function:: subst_vars(s, local_vars)
Perform shell/Perl-style variable substitution on *s*. Every occurrence of
``$`` followed by a name is considered a variable, and variable is substituted
by the value found in the *local_vars* dictionary, or in ``os.environ`` if it's
not in *local_vars*. *os.environ* is first checked/augmented to guarantee that
it contains certain values: see :func:`check_environ`. Raise :exc:`ValueError`
for any variables not found in either *local_vars* or ``os.environ``.
Note that this is not a fully-fledged string interpolation function. A valid
``$variable`` can consist only of upper and lower case letters, numbers and an
underscore. No { } or ( ) style quoting is available.
.. function:: grok_environment_error(exc[, prefix='error: '])
Generate a useful error message from an :exc:`EnvironmentError` (:exc:`IOError`
or :exc:`OSError`) exception object. Handles Python 1.5.1 and later styles,
and does what it can to deal with exception objects that don't have a filename
(which happens when the error is due to a two-file operation, such as
:func:`rename` or :func:`link`). Returns the error message as a string
prefixed with *prefix*.
.. function:: split_quoted(s)
Split a string up according to Unix shell-like rules for quotes and backslashes.
In short: words are delimited by spaces, as long as those spaces are not escaped
by a backslash, or inside a quoted string. Single and double quotes are
equivalent, and the quote characters can be backslash-escaped. The backslash is
stripped from any two-character escape sequence, leaving only the escaped
character. The quote characters are stripped from any quoted string. Returns a
list of words.
.. % Should probably be moved into the standard library.
.. function:: execute(func, args[, msg=None, verbose=0, dry_run=0])
Perform some action that affects the outside world (for instance, writing to the
filesystem). Such actions are special because they are disabled by the
*dry_run* flag. This method takes care of all that bureaucracy for you; all
you have to do is supply the function to call and an argument tuple for it (to
embody the "external action" being performed), and an optional message to print.
.. function:: strtobool(val)
Convert a string representation of truth to true (1) or false (0).
True values are ``y``, ``yes``, ``t``, ``true``, ``on`` and ``1``; false values
are ``n``, ``no``, ``f``, ``false``, ``off`` and ``0``. Raises
:exc:`ValueError` if *val* is anything else.
.. function:: byte_compile(py_files[, optimize=0, force=0, prefix=None, base_dir=None, verbose=1, dry_run=0, direct=None])
Byte-compile a collection of Python source files to either :file:`.pyc` or
:file:`.pyo` files in a :file:`__pycache__` subdirectory (see :pep:`3147`).
*py_files* is a list of files to compile; any files that don't end in
:file:`.py` are silently skipped. *optimize* must be one of the following:
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
* ``0`` - don't optimize (generate :file:`.pyc`)
* ``1`` - normal optimization (like ``python -O``)
* ``2`` - extra optimization (like ``python -OO``)
If *force* is true, all files are recompiled regardless of timestamps.

The source filename encoded in each :term:`bytecode` file defaults to the filenames
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
listed in *py_files*; you can modify these with *prefix* and *basedir*.
*prefix* is a string that will be stripped off of each source filename, and
*base_dir* is a directory name that will be prepended (after *prefix* is
stripped). You can supply either or both (or neither) of *prefix* and
*base_dir*, as you wish.
If *dry_run* is true, doesn't actually do anything that would affect the
filesystem.
Byte-compilation is either done directly in this interpreter process with the
standard :mod:`py_compile` module, or indirectly by writing a temporary script
and executing it. Normally, you should let :func:`byte_compile` figure out to
use direct compilation or not (see the source for details). The *direct* flag
is used by the script generated in indirect mode; unless you know what you're
doing, leave it set to ``None``.
.. versionchanged:: 3.2.3
Create ``.pyc`` or ``.pyo`` files with an :func:`import magic tag
<imp.get_tag>` in their name, in a :file:`__pycache__` subdirectory
instead of files without tag in the current directory.

.. function:: rfc822_escape(header)
Return a version of *header* escaped for inclusion in an :rfc:`822` header, by
ensuring there are 8 spaces space after each newline. Note that it does no other
modification of the string.

:mod:`distutils.dist` --- The Distribution class
================================================
.. module:: distutils.dist
:synopsis: Provides the Distribution class, which represents the module distribution being

This module provides the :class:`Distribution` class, which represents the
module distribution being built/installed/distributed.
:mod:`distutils.extension` --- The Extension class
==================================================
.. module:: distutils.extension
:synopsis: Provides the Extension class, used to describe C/C++ extension modules in setup
scripts
This module provides the :class:`Extension` class, used to describe C/C++
extension modules in setup scripts.
.. % \subsection{Ungrouped modules}
.. % The following haven't been moved into a more appropriate section yet.
:mod:`distutils.debug` --- Distutils debug mode
===============================================
.. module:: distutils.debug
:synopsis: Provides the debug flag for distutils
This module provides the DEBUG flag.
:mod:`distutils.errors` --- Distutils exceptions
================================================
.. module:: distutils.errors
:synopsis: Provides standard distutils exceptions
Provides exceptions used by the Distutils modules. Note that Distutils modules
may raise standard exceptions; in particular, SystemExit is usually raised for
errors that are obviously the end-user's fault (eg. bad command-line arguments).
This module is safe to use in ``from ... import *`` mode; it only exports
symbols whose names start with ``Distutils`` and end with ``Error``.
:mod:`distutils.fancy_getopt` --- Wrapper around the standard getopt module
===========================================================================
.. module:: distutils.fancy_getopt
:synopsis: Additional getopt functionality
This module provides a wrapper around the standard :mod:`getopt` module that
provides the following additional features:
* short and long options are tied together
* options have help strings, so :func:`fancy_getopt` could potentially create a
complete usage summary
* options set attributes of a passed-in object
* boolean options can have "negative aliases" --- eg. if :option:`--quiet` is
the "negative alias" of :option:`--verbose`, then :option:`--quiet` on the
command line sets *verbose* to false.
.. function:: fancy_getopt(options, negative_opt, object, args)
Wrapper function. *options* is a list of ``(long_option, short_option,
help_string)`` 3-tuples as described in the constructor for
:class:`FancyGetopt`. *negative_opt* should be a dictionary mapping option names
to option names, both the key and value should be in the *options* list.
*object* is an object which will be used to store values (see the :meth:`getopt`
method of the :class:`FancyGetopt` class). *args* is the argument list. Will use
``sys.argv[1:]`` if you pass ``None`` as *args*.
.. function:: wrap_text(text, width)
Wraps *text* to less than *width* wide.
.. class:: FancyGetopt([option_table=None])
The option_table is a list of 3-tuples: ``(long_option, short_option,
help_string)``
If an option takes an argument, its *long_option* should have ``'='`` appended;
*short_option* should just be a single character, no ``':'`` in any case.
*short_option* should be ``None`` if a *long_option* doesn't have a
corresponding *short_option*. All option tuples must have long options.
The :class:`FancyGetopt` class provides the following methods:
.. method:: FancyGetopt.getopt([args=None, object=None])
Parse command-line options in args. Store as attributes on *object*.
If *args* is ``None`` or not supplied, uses ``sys.argv[1:]``. If *object* is
``None`` or not supplied, creates a new :class:`OptionDummy` instance, stores
option values there, and returns a tuple ``(args, object)``. If *object* is
supplied, it is modified in place and :func:`getopt` just returns *args*; in
both cases, the returned *args* is a modified copy of the passed-in *args* list,
which is left untouched.
.. % and args returned are?
.. method:: FancyGetopt.get_option_order()
Returns the list of ``(option, value)`` tuples processed by the previous run of
:meth:`getopt` Raises :exc:`RuntimeError` if :meth:`getopt` hasn't been called
yet.
.. method:: FancyGetopt.generate_help([header=None])
Generate help text (a list of strings, one per suggested line of output) from
the option table for this :class:`FancyGetopt` object.
If supplied, prints the supplied *header* at the top of the help.
:mod:`distutils.filelist` --- The FileList class
================================================
.. module:: distutils.filelist
:synopsis: The FileList class, used for poking about the file system and
building lists of files.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
This module provides the :class:`FileList` class, used for poking about the
filesystem and building lists of files.
:mod:`distutils.log` --- Simple PEP 282-style logging
=====================================================
.. module:: distutils.log
:synopsis: A simple logging mechanism, 282-style
:mod:`distutils.spawn` --- Spawn a sub-process
==============================================
.. module:: distutils.spawn
:synopsis: Provides the spawn() function
This module provides the :func:`spawn` function, a front-end to various
platform-specific functions for launching another program in a sub-process.
Also provides :func:`find_executable` to search the path for a given executable
name.
:mod:`distutils.sysconfig` --- System configuration information
===============================================================
.. module:: distutils.sysconfig
:synopsis: Low-level access to configuration information of the Python interpreter.
.. moduleauthor:: Fred L. Drake, Jr. <fdrake@acm.org>
.. moduleauthor:: Greg Ward <gward@python.net>
.. sectionauthor:: Fred L. Drake, Jr. <fdrake@acm.org>
The :mod:`distutils.sysconfig` module provides access to Python's low-level
configuration information. The specific configuration variables available
depend heavily on the platform and configuration. The specific variables depend
on the build process for the specific version of Python being run; the variables
are those found in the :file:`Makefile` and configuration header that are
installed with Python on Unix systems. The configuration header is called
:file:`pyconfig.h` for Python versions starting with 2.2, and :file:`config.h`
for earlier versions of Python.
Some additional functions are provided which perform some useful manipulations
for other parts of the :mod:`distutils` package.
.. data:: PREFIX
The result of ``os.path.normpath(sys.prefix)``.
.. data:: EXEC_PREFIX
The result of ``os.path.normpath(sys.exec_prefix)``.
.. function:: get_config_var(name)
Return the value of a single variable. This is equivalent to
``get_config_vars().get(name)``.
.. function:: get_config_vars(...)
Return a set of variable definitions. If there are no arguments, this returns a
dictionary mapping names of configuration variables to values. If arguments are
provided, they should be strings, and the return value will be a sequence giving
the associated values. If a given name does not have a corresponding value,
``None`` will be included for that variable.
.. function:: get_config_h_filename()
Return the full path name of the configuration header. For Unix, this will be
the header generated by the :program:`configure` script; for other platforms the
header will have been supplied directly by the Python source distribution. The
file is a platform-specific text file.
.. function:: get_makefile_filename()
Return the full path name of the :file:`Makefile` used to build Python. For
Unix, this will be a file generated by the :program:`configure` script; the
meaning for other platforms will vary. The file is a platform-specific text
file, if it exists. This function is only useful on POSIX platforms.
.. function:: get_python_inc([plat_specific[, prefix]])
Return the directory for either the general or platform-dependent C include
files. If *plat_specific* is true, the platform-dependent include directory is
returned; if false or omitted, the platform-independent directory is returned.
If *prefix* is given, it is used as either the prefix instead of
:const:`PREFIX`, or as the exec-prefix instead of :const:`EXEC_PREFIX` if
*plat_specific* is true.
.. function:: get_python_lib([plat_specific[, standard_lib[, prefix]]])
Return the directory for either the general or platform-dependent library
installation. If *plat_specific* is true, the platform-dependent include
directory is returned; if false or omitted, the platform-independent directory
is returned. If *prefix* is given, it is used as either the prefix instead of
:const:`PREFIX`, or as the exec-prefix instead of :const:`EXEC_PREFIX` if
*plat_specific* is true. If *standard_lib* is true, the directory for the
standard library is returned rather than the directory for the installation of
third-party extensions.
The following function is only intended for use within the :mod:`distutils`
package.
.. function:: customize_compiler(compiler)
Do any platform-specific customization of a
:class:`distutils.ccompiler.CCompiler` instance.
This function is only needed on Unix at this time, but should be called
consistently to support forward-compatibility. It inserts the information that
varies across Unix flavors and is stored in Python's :file:`Makefile`. This
information includes the selected compiler, compiler and linker options, and the
extension used by the linker for shared objects.
This function is even more special-purpose, and should only be used from
Python's own build procedures.
.. function:: set_python_build()
Inform the :mod:`distutils.sysconfig` module that it is being used as part of
the build process for Python. This changes a lot of relative locations for
files, allowing them to be located in the build area rather than in an installed
Python.
:mod:`distutils.text_file` --- The TextFile class
=================================================
.. module:: distutils.text_file
:synopsis: provides the TextFile class, a simple interface to text files
This module provides the :class:`TextFile` class, which gives an interface to
text files that (optionally) takes care of stripping comments, ignoring blank
lines, and joining lines with backslashes.
.. class:: TextFile([filename=None, file=None, **options])
This class provides a file-like object that takes care of all the things you
commonly want to do when processing a text file that has some line-by-line
syntax: strip comments (as long as ``#`` is your comment character), skip blank
lines, join adjacent lines by escaping the newline (ie. backslash at end of
line), strip leading and/or trailing whitespace. All of these are optional and
independently controllable.
The class provides a :meth:`warn` method so you can generate warning messages
that report physical line number, even if the logical line in question spans
multiple physical lines. Also provides :meth:`unreadline` for implementing
line-at-a-time lookahead.
:class:`TextFile` instances are create with either *filename*, *file*, or both.
:exc:`RuntimeError` is raised if both are ``None``. *filename* should be a
string, and *file* a file object (or something that provides :meth:`readline`
and :meth:`close` methods). It is recommended that you supply at least
*filename*, so that :class:`TextFile` can include it in warning messages. If
*file* is not supplied, :class:`TextFile` creates its own using the
:func:`open` built-in function.
The options are all boolean, and affect the values returned by :meth:`readline`
+------------------+--------------------------------+---------+
| option name | description | default |
+==================+================================+=========+
| *strip_comments* | strip from ``'#'`` to end-of- | true |
| | line, as well as any | |
| | whitespace leading up to the | |
| | ``'#'``\ ---unless it is | |
| | escaped by a backslash | |
+------------------+--------------------------------+---------+
| *lstrip_ws* | strip leading whitespace from | false |
| | each line before returning it | |
+------------------+--------------------------------+---------+
| *rstrip_ws* | strip trailing whitespace | true |
| | (including line terminator!) | |
| | from each line before | |
| | returning it. | |
+------------------+--------------------------------+---------+
| *skip_blanks* | skip lines that are empty | true |
| | \*after\* stripping comments | |
| | and whitespace. (If both | |
| | lstrip_ws and rstrip_ws are | |
| | false, then some lines may | |
| | consist of solely whitespace: | |
| | these will \*not\* be skipped, | |
| | even if *skip_blanks* is | |
| | true.) | |
+------------------+--------------------------------+---------+
| *join_lines* | if a backslash is the last | false |
| | non-newline character on a | |
| | line after stripping comments | |
| | and whitespace, join the | |
| | following line to it to form | |
| | one logical line; if N | |
| | consecutive lines end with a | |
| | backslash, then N+1 physical | |
| | lines will be joined to form | |
| | one logical line. | |
+------------------+--------------------------------+---------+
| *collapse_join* | strip leading whitespace from | false |
| | lines that are joined to their | |
| | predecessor; only matters if | |
| | ``(join_lines and not | |
| | lstrip_ws)`` | |
+------------------+--------------------------------+---------+
Note that since *rstrip_ws* can strip the trailing newline, the semantics of
:meth:`readline` must differ from those of the built-in file object's
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
:meth:`readline` method! In particular, :meth:`readline` returns ``None`` for
end-of-file: an empty string might just be a blank line (or an all-whitespace
line), if *rstrip_ws* is true but *skip_blanks* is not.
.. method:: TextFile.open(filename)
Open a new file *filename*. This overrides any *file* or *filename*
constructor arguments.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. method:: TextFile.close()
Close the current file and forget everything we know about it (including the
filename and the current line number).
.. method:: TextFile.warn(msg[,line=None])
Print (to stderr) a warning message tied to the current logical line in the
current file. If the current logical line in the file spans multiple physical
lines, the warning refers to the whole range, such as ``"lines 3-5"``. If
*line* is supplied, it overrides the current line number; it may be a list or
tuple to indicate a range of physical lines, or an integer for a single
physical line.
.. method:: TextFile.readline()
Read and return a single logical line from the current file (or from an internal
buffer if lines have previously been "unread" with :meth:`unreadline`). If the
*join_lines* option is true, this may involve reading multiple physical lines
concatenated into a single string. Updates the current line number, so calling
:meth:`warn` after :meth:`readline` emits a warning about the physical line(s)
just read. Returns ``None`` on end-of-file, since the empty string can occur
if *rstrip_ws* is true but *strip_blanks* is not.
.. method:: TextFile.readlines()
Read and return the list of all logical lines remaining in the current file.
This updates the current line number to the last line of the file.
.. method:: TextFile.unreadline(line)
Push *line* (a string) onto an internal buffer that will be checked by future
:meth:`readline` calls. Handy for implementing a parser with line-at-a-time
lookahead. Note that lines that are "unread" with :meth:`unreadline` are not
subsequently re-cleansed (whitespace stripped, or whatever) when read with
:meth:`readline`. If multiple calls are made to :meth:`unreadline` before a call
to :meth:`readline`, the lines will be returned most in most recent first order.

subroutines with local variables called *options*. The options are declared
in :meth:`initialize_options` and defined (given their final values) in
:meth:`finalize_options`, both of which must be defined by every command
class. The distinction between the two is necessary because option values
might come from the outside world (command line, config file, ...), and any
options dependent on other options must be computed after these outside
influences have been processed --- hence :meth:`finalize_options`. The body
of the subroutine, where it does all its work based on the values of its
options, is the :meth:`run` method, which must also be implemented by every
command class.
The class constructor takes a single argument *dist*, a :class:`Distribution`

Creating a new Distutils command
================================
This section outlines the steps to create a new Distutils command.
A new command lives in a module in the :mod:`distutils.command` package. There
is a sample template in that directory called :file:`command_template`. Copy
this file to a new module with the same name as the new command you're
implementing. This module should implement a class with the same name as the
module (and the command). So, for instance, to create the command
``peel_banana`` (so that users can run ``setup.py peel_banana``), you'd copy
:file:`command_template` to :file:`distutils/command/peel_banana.py`, then edit
it so that it's implementing the class :class:`peel_banana`, a subclass of
:class:`distutils.cmd.Command`.
Subclasses of :class:`Command` must define the following methods.
.. method:: Command.initialize_options()
Set default values for all the options that this command supports. Note that
these defaults may be overridden by other commands, by the setup script, by
config files, or by the command-line. Thus, this is not the place to code
dependencies between options; generally, :meth:`initialize_options`
implementations are just a bunch of ``self.foo = None`` assignments.
.. method:: Command.finalize_options()
Set final values for all the options that this command supports. This is
always called as late as possible, ie. after any option assignments from the
command-line or from other commands have been done. Thus, this is the place
2011-10-19 04:58:56 -03:00
to code option dependencies: if *foo* depends on *bar*, then it is safe to

set *foo* from *bar* as long as *foo* still has the same value it was
assigned in :meth:`initialize_options`.
.. method:: Command.run()
A command's raison d'etre: carry out the action it exists to perform, controlled
by the options initialized in :meth:`initialize_options`, customized by other
commands, the setup script, the command-line, and config files, and finalized in
:meth:`finalize_options`. All terminal output and filesystem interaction should
be done by :meth:`run`.
.. attribute:: Command.sub_commands
*sub_commands* formalizes the notion of a "family" of commands,
e.g. ``install`` as the parent with sub-commands ``install_lib``,
``install_headers``, etc. The parent of a family of commands defines
*sub_commands* as a class attribute; it's a list of 2-tuples ``(command_name,
predicate)``, with *command_name* a string and *predicate* a function, a
string or ``None``. *predicate* is a method of the parent command that
