Greg Ward 58ec6ede20 Fixed the '--license' option so it's officially an alias for '--licence',
and now actually works.
2000-04-21 04:22:49 +00:00
Greg Ward 1e7b509526 Added the capability for alias options. 2000-04-21 04:22:01 +00:00
Greg Ward 320df700dc Added 'has_option()', 'get_attr_name()' methods. 2000-04-21 02:31:07 +00:00
Greg Ward 82715e1f11 Patch, originally from Bastian Kleineidam and savagely mutilated by me,
to add the "display metadata" options: --name, --version, --author,
and so forth.  Main changes:
  * added 'display_options' class attribute to list all the "display only"
    options (--help-commands plus the metadata options)
  * added DistributionMetadata class as a place to put the actual
    metadata information from the setup script (not to be confused with
    the metadata display options); the logic dealing with metadata
    (eg. return self.name or "UNKNOWN") is now  in this class
  * changed 'parse_command_line()' to use the new OO interface provided
    by fancy_getopt, mainly so we can get at the original order of
    options on the command line, so we can print multiple lines of
    distribution meta-data in the order specified by the user
  * added 'handle_display_options()' to handle display-only options
Also fixed some crufty old comments/docstrings.

Greg Ward 283c745c57 Made 'generate_help()' and 'print_help()' methods of FancyGetopt.
Added 'set_option_table()' method.
Added missing 'self' to 'get_option_order()'.
Cosmetic/comment/docstring tweaks.

Greg Ward ead5c291bb Continuing the refactoring: deleted the old 'fancy_getopt()' function,
leaving in its place a tiny wrapper around the FancyGetopt class
for backwards compatibility.
2000-04-21 01:44:00 +00:00
Greg Ward ffc10d9a2e Hefty refactoring: converted 'fancy_getopt()' function into FancyGetopt
class.  (Mainly this was to support the ability to go back after the
getopt operation is done and get extra information about the parse,
in particular the original order of options seen on the command line.
But it's a big improvement and should make it a lot easier to add
functionality in the future.)

Greg Ward 4eaa3bfed0 Reverted '\var' in the "standard installation location" table to '\filevar'.
Reformatted wide paragraphs.

Fred Drake ff9ea480eb ANSI-fy & de-tabify the source.
(4-space indents already used.)

Greg Ward 3314c8efc9 Bumped version to 0.8.1. 2000-04-19 02:23:21 +00:00
Greg Ward b1e4a6e101 Added kludge to deal with the "./ld_so_aix" problem: force all strings
in the Makefile that start with "./" to be absolute paths (with the
implied root being the directory where the Makefile itself was found).
2000-04-19 02:22:07 +00:00
Greg Ward 434ef8fe94 Don't load the config.h file, even under Unix, because we never use the
information from config.h.  Code is still there in case someone in the
future needs to parse an autoconf-generated config.h file.
2000-04-19 02:18:09 +00:00
Greg Ward f70c603149 Added 'link_executable()' method (Berthold Hoellmann).
Two small fixes to 'link_shared_object()'.
2000-04-19 02:16:49 +00:00
Jack Jansen 316778860f Fix by Dan Green and Corran Webster to support LongDateTime
values. Untested by me.
2000-04-18 14:08:31 +00:00
Fred Drake cebda6f5f0 Added documentation for WindowsError; omission noted by Michal Bozon
<bozon@natur.cuni.cz>.

(Mark Hammond, other Python/Windows cognoscenti: please check this!)
2000-04-17 17:42:00 +00:00
Fred Drake e99d1dbc74 Clarify the description of the else clause for try/except, and add an
explanation of why you'd want to use it.

Based on a question from Michael Simcich <msimcich@accesstools.com>.

Greg Ward eacdea8572 Reformatted all exception documentation as docstrings. 2000-04-15 22:23:47 +00:00
Greg Ward 02a1a2b077 Cleaned up/simplified error-handling:
- DistutilsOptionError is now documented as it's actually used, ie.
    to indicate bogus option values (usually user options, eg. from
    the command-line)
  - added DistutilsSetupError to indicate errors that definitely arise
    in the setup script
  - got rid of DistutilsValueError, and changed all usage of it to
    either DistutilsSetupError or ValueError as appropriate
  - simplified a bunch of option get/set methods in Command and
    Distribution classes -- just pass on AttributeError most of
    the time, rather than turning it into something else

Jeremy Hylton 4a3dd2dcc2 Fix PR#7 comparisons of recursive objects
Note that comparisons of deeply nested objects can still dump core in
extreme cases.

Fred Drake 0556501a81 Anthony Baxter <anthony@interlink.com.au>:
The following adds support for RTSP (RFC2326) URLs to the standard
urlparse.py module.

(Augmented by FLD to include rtspu:, specified in the same RFC & OK'd
by Anthony.)

Greg Ward 8eef583025 Don't run "ranlib" if sysconfig's RANLIB (from Python's Makefile) starts
with ":".
2000-04-14 13:53:34 +00:00
Greg Ward 46b98e35fd Various wording/formattin tweaks.
Started spewing "Creating Built Distributions" section.
2000-04-14 01:53:36 +00:00
Greg Ward 1561ae13b6 Use 'get_python_inc()' to figure out the Python include directories
rather than cobbling them togethere here.
2000-04-14 00:50:49 +00:00
Greg Ward 2b9e43f8d0 Coerce all paths in the manifest template to the local path syntax with
'native_path()'.
2000-04-14 00:49:30 +00:00
Greg Ward 1c79330e64 Cleaned up use of sysconfig module a bit: don't import more names
than we actually use, and do actually use AR and SO.
Run ranlib on static libraries.  (Should probably have a platform-check
  so we don't run ranlib when it's not necessary, ie. on most modern
  Unices.)
2000-04-14 00:48:15 +00:00
Greg Ward b6f5adaa12 Don't bother reading config.h on NT or Mac OS. (It's not really needed
on Unix either, so should probably disappear entirely.)
2000-04-14 00:39:31 +00:00
Fred Drake 6d27c1eb32 Simplify creation of the version_info value for clarity, per
suggestion from Greg Stein.

explained).
2000-04-13 16:54:17 +00:00
Fred Drake 801c08d700 Define version_info to be a tuple (major, minor, micro, level); level
is a string "a2", "b1", "c1", or '' for a final release.

Added version_info and hexversion to the module docstring.

Barry Warsaw 3155db3b79 setup_confname_table(): Close memory leak caused by not decref'ing the
inserted dictionary values.  Also, simplified the logic a bit.

Fred Drake 8deecedc6d Thomas Heller <thomas.heller@ion-tof.com>:
ihooks.ModuleLoader does not implement reload(mod) correctly:
If mod has already been loaded by ModuleLoader, it has
been returned from a cache. Added an additional parameter
to import_it() to force reloading.

Fred Drake 4e998bc658 M.-A. Lemburg <mal@lemburg.com>:
Fixed problem with Unicode string concatenation:
u = (u"abc" u"abc") previously dumped core.
2000-04-13 14:10:44 +00:00
Fred Drake afe73a4687 M.-A. Lemburg <mal@lemburg.com>:

2000-04-13 14:10:04 +00:00
Fred Drake 078b24f000 When refering to Unicode characters in exception messages and
docstrings, the documentation guidelines call for "Unicode", not
"unicode".  Comply.

2000-04-12 14:20:15 +00:00
Greg Ward 822a86a955 Trying to placate Fred: redefine \tilde and \bslash; document everything.
Still some not-quite-standard definitions in here that I have to fix.
2000-04-12 01:44:35 +00:00
Greg Ward d5faa7ea08 Changed the table of per-platform default installation locations to be
more consistent with the rest of the Python docs.
