There was already a test for this, but it was complicated and had a
subtle bug (custom command objects need to be put in dist.command_obj so
that other command objects may see them) that rendered it moot.
Packaging uses the shutil.make_archive function copied from distutils,
which does not support compress. There is no test to check that
“bdist --format whatever” works, so this slipped by.
* Use str.startswith(tuple): I didn't know this Python feature, Python rocks!
* Replace sometimes sys.platform.startswith('linux') with
sys.platform == 'linux'
* sys.platform doesn't contain the major version on Cygwin on Mac OS X
(it's just 'cygwin' and 'darwin')
- 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
wrap_text was removed in favor of standard textwrap but the removal of the
function was lost in a bad merge; a change in sdist mysteriously disappeared.
build_scripts command of packaging now handles correctly non-ASCII path (path
to the Python executable). Open and write the script in binary mode, but ensure
that the shebang is decodable from UTF-8 and from the encoding of the script.
