I found the following patch helpful in tracking down a bug in some
code. I had appended time, the module, instead of time.time(). Not
sure if it is generally true that printing the repr of the object is
good, but I expect that most unpicklable things will have fairly
information and concise reprs (like files or sockets or modules).
Withdraw the change that Fred just checked in -- it was a poorly
documented feature, not a bug, to ignore I/O errors in read().
The new docstring explains the reason for the feature:
"""
this is designed so that you can specifiy a list of potential
configuration file locations (e.g. current directory, user's home
directory, systemwide directory), and all existing configuration files
in the list will be read.
"""
Also add a lower-level function, readfp(), which takes an open file
object (and optionally a filename).
XXX There are some other problems with this module, but I don't have
time to dig into these; in particular, there are complaints that the
%(name)s substitution from the [DEFAULTS] section doesn't work
correctly.
global options table.
Every Command instance now has its own copies of the global options,
which automatically fallback to the Distribution instance. Changes:
- initialize them in constructor
- added '__getattr__()' to handle the fallback logic
- changed every 'self.distribution.{verbose,dry_run}' in Command to
'self.{verbose,dry_run}'.
- filesystem utility methods ('copy_file()' et al) don't take 'update'
parameter anymore -- instead we pass 'not force' to the underlying
function as 'update'
Changed parsing of command line so that global options apply to all
commands as well -- that's how (eg.) Command.verbose will be initialized.
Simplified 'make_file()' to use 'newer_group()' (from util module).
Deleted some cruft.
Some docstring tweaks.
the code a bit and should make it work under Windows even with trailing
backslash.
Fixed a couple of docstrings.
Added comment about 'make_file()' possibly being redundant and unnecessary.
- change how we call it
- added methods 'library_dir_option()', 'library_option()', and
'find_library_file()' that it calls
Added 'force' flag; it's automatically "respected", because this class
always rebuilds everything! (Which it to say, "force=0" is not respected.)
Catch up with changes in 'gen_lib_options()':
- change how we call it
- added methods 'library_dir_option()', 'library_option()', and
'find_library_file()' that it calls
Added 'force' flag and changed compile/link methods to respect it.
has a directory component, then we only search for the library in
that one directory, ie. ignore the 'library_dirs' lists for that
one library.
Changed calling convention to 'gen_lib_options()' again: now, it takes
a CCompiler instance and calls methods on it instead of taking
format strings. Also implemented the new "library name" semantics
using the 'find_library_file()' method in the CCompiler instance.
Added 'force' flag to CCompiler; added to constructor and 'new_compiler()'.
Added 'warn()' method.
Catch up with renamed 'platdir' -> 'build_platlib' option in 'build'.
Don't call 'set_final_options()' in 'run()' anymore -- that's now
guaranteed to be taken care of for us by the Distribution instance.
If 'include_dirs' is a string, split it on os.pathsep (this is half-
hearted -- support for setting compile/link options on the command
line is totally lame and probably won't work at all).
Added 'get_source_files()' for use by 'dist' command.
Added code to 'build_extensions()' to figure out the "def file" to use
with MSVC++ and add it to the linker command line as an "extra_postarg".
Don't call 'set_final_options()' in 'run()' anymore -- that's now
guaranteed to be taken care of for us by the Distribution instance.
Rearranged to bit to allow outsiders (specifically, the 'dist' command)
to find out what modules we would build:
- 'find_modules()' renamed to 'find_package_modules()'
- most of 'build_modules()' abstracted out to 'find_modules()'
- added 'get_source_files()' (for the 'dist' command to use)
- drastically simplified 'build_modules()' -- now just a wrapper around
'find_modules()' and 'build_module()'
Tweaked some help strings to be consistent with documentation.
Don't call 'set_final_options()' in 'run()' anymore -- that's now
guaranteed to be taken care of for us by the Distribution instance.
- add 'extra_preargs' and 'extra_postargs' parameters (and use them!)
- got rid of 'build_info' kludge parameter
- added 'compiler_type' class attribute
- respect reordered arguments to 'gen_lib_options()'
Also added 'output_dir' parameter (catching up with older change in
CCompiler) -- BUT this is presently ignored by all methods!
Deleted some more docstrings redundant with CCompiler.
Dropped generated of "/DEF:" argument --- that's now done by
the 'build_ext' command.
- add 'extra_preargs' and 'extra_postargs' parameters (and use them!)
- added 'compiler_type' class attribute
- respect reordered arguments to 'gen_lib_options()'
which allowed us to get rid of the 'build_info' used in some places
(a temporary kludge to support MSVC++ "def" files).
Deleted big comment whining about that kludge.
Added 'compiler_type' class attribute.
Overhauled 'new_compiler()': now takes 'compiler' argument along with
'plat' (both optional with sensible defaults), and looks them both up
in the new 'default_compiler' and 'compiler_class' dictionaries to
figure out where to get the concrete compiler class from.
Reordered arguments to 'gen_lib_options()' to match the order in
which the arguments are generated (ie. -L before -l).
they make sure that 'set_final_options()' has been called, but isn't
called redundantly.
Changed Distribution to call 'ensure_ready()' where it used to call
'set_final_options()', and in a few extra places as well.
Lots of comment/docstring revisions and additions in both classes.
New one-liner utility methods in Command: 'find_peer()', 'spawn()'.
'alias_options' table and getting rid of some hairy code in the
Distribution constructor.
Resurrected the distribution options that describe the modules present
in the module distribution ('py_modules', 'ext_modules'), and added
a bunch more: 'packages', 'package_dir', 'ext_package', 'include_dirs',
'install_path'.
Updated some comments.
Added 'warn()' method to Command.
'Command.get_command_name()' now stores generated command name in
self.command_name.
Added global cache PATH_CREATED used by 'mkpath()' to ensure it doesn't
try to create the same path more than once in a session (and, more
importantly, to ensure that it doesn't print "creating X" more than
once for each X per session!).
distributions their own directory (and .pth file).
Overhauled how we determine installation directories in
'set_final_options()' to separate platform-dependence and take
'install_path' option into account.
Added 'create_path_file()' to create path config file when 'install_path'
given.
Only run 'install_py' and 'install_ext' when, respectively, there are
some pure Python modules and some extension modules in the distribution.
- rename 'dir' to 'build_dir'
- take 'package' from distribution option 'ext_package'
- take 'extensions' from distribution option 'ext_modules'
- take 'include_dirs' from distribution
Name keyword args explictly when calling CCompiler methods.
Overhauled how we generate extension filenames (in 'extension_filename()
and 'build_extension()') to take 'package' option into account.
It breaks Mailman, it was actually documented in the docstring, so it
was an intentional deviation from the usual del semantics. Let's
document the original behavior in Doc/lib/librfc822.tex.
Changed those two methods to only compile/link if necessary (according
to simplistic timestamp checks).
Added 'output_dir' to 'object_filenames()' and 'shared_object_filename()'.
much breakage (esp. in JPython which holds absolute path names in
co_filename already). This implementation uses os.path.abspath() as a
slightly better way to canonicalize path names. It implements a
cache.
the file that a function is defined on. Non-portable to Windows and
JPython. Instead, new find_function() uses re module on a similar
(simple-minded) pattern.
attributes, etc. Biggest change was to the Distribution constructor
-- it now looks for an 'options' attribute, which contains values
(options) that are explicitly farmed out to the commands. Also,
certain options supplied to Distribution (ie. in the 'setup()' call in
setup.py) are now "command option aliases", meaning they are dropped
right into a certain command rather than being distribution options.
This is handled by a new Distribution class attribute,
'alias_options'.
Various comment changes to reflect the new way-of-thinking.
Added 'get_command_name()' method to Command -- was assuming its
existence all along as 'command_name()', so changed the code that
needs it to call 'get_command_name()'.
now provided (minus the leading underscore) by the ccompiler module.
Fix 'compile()' to return the list of object files generated.
Cosmetic tweaks/delete cruft.
Added big comment about the kludginess of passing 'build_options'
to the link methods and how to fix it.
Added 'gen_preprocess_options()' and 'gen_lib_options()' convenience
functions -- the two cases are very similar for Unix C Compilers and
VC++, so I figured I might as well unify the implementations.
- fix some broken abstract methods
- kludge: add 'build_info' parameter to link methods
- add 'object_name()' and 'shared_library_name()'
- support for MSVCCompiler class on NT/Win95
"""
Added some optional arguments to the XMLParser __init__ method to
specify that selected non-standard constructs are to be accepted.
Also removed the documentation for handle_entityrefs since it isn't
used.
"""
The version is incremented to 0.3.
"""
Extended chunk so that it can also handle formats that are almost
according to EA IFF 85. In particular, added options to handle
little-endian and to handle formats that include the header size in
the chunk size value.
Fixed a bug where the header size was included in the chunk size, which
it isn't according to EA IFF 85.
Added a new method getsize() to get the size of the chunk (excluding
header).
Fixed chunk documentation (TIFF doesn't look like it uses chunks).
Converted wave to use chunk. Wave uses EA IFF 85 chunks except that
it uses little-endian encoding of integer data.
Removed __del__ methods from aifc and wave since I got an
AttributeError there upon exit.

and Toplevel class constructors. This means that if the window
manager closes the window, the Python-side Tkinter data structures
will be destroyed correctly. (Most apps do this anyway, and it's
recommended practice; I see no reason why making it the default
behavior could be bad.)
Added 'verbose' and 'dry_run' parameters to constructor.
Changed 'compile()', 'link_*()' to default lists arguments to None
rather than empty list.
Added implementations of the filename-mangling methods mandated by
the CCompiler interface.
'new_compiler()' factory function.
Added 'runtime_library_dirs' list (for -R linker option) and methods
to manipulate it.
Deleted some obsolete comments.
Added all the filename manglign methods: 'object_filenames()',
'shared_object_filename()', 'library_filename()',
'shared_library_filename()'.
Added 'spawn()' method (front end to the "real" spawn).
