The existing test_record is not easily extendable to add script files or
extension modules: it collects all files from fake_dists and generates a
RECORD file at runtime. I felt more comfortable adding a new test
written from scratch more self-contained (just one project with
well-defined files) and more stupid (the checksums and sizes are
computed once and hard-coded).
- Rename an attribute and create it in initialize_options instead of
finalize_options to match the other install_* classes
- Remove unnecessary method call in tests
The code does not write checksum or file length for .pyc and .pyo in the RECORD
file, in compliance with PEP 376, but the test forgot to take .pyo into
account. This was not caught because there were no .pyo in the checkout, but
after installing there are .pyo files created by compileall, and the test picks
them up.
