* 'headers' entry added to all the install schemes
* '--install-headers' option added
* 'install_headers' added to 'sub_commands'
* added 'dist_name' to configuration variables (along with a few
others that seem handy: 'dist_version', 'dist_fullname', and
'py_version'
* in 'finalize_unix()', make sure 'install_headers' defined if
user specified 'install_base' and/or 'install_platbase'
* added 'has_headers()'
* a few other small changes
dictionaries in 'self.command_options' to 'get_option_dict()'.
Simplified code in 'parse_config_files()' and 'parse_command_line()'
accordingly.
Fixed code in constructor that processes the 'options' dictionary
from the setup script so it actually works: uses the new
'self.command_options' dictionary rather than creating command
objects and calling 'set_option()' on them.
attempt to verify the bold assertions in the documentation):
* entries for the "root package" in 'package_dir' didn't work --
fixed by improving the fall-through code in 'get_package_dir()'
* __init__.py files weren't installed when modules-in-packages
were listed individually (ie. in 'py_modules' in the setup script);
fixed by making 'check_package()' return the name of the __init__
file if it exists, and making 'find_modules()' add an entry to
the module list for __init__ if applicable
This patch adds a comment about quoting to the doc string,
and also checks that the 'flags' argument to the STORE command
is appropriately enclosed inside parentheses to avoid quoting.
* 'first_line_re' loosened up
* command description improved
* replaced '_copy_files()' and '_adjust_files()' with one method
that does everything, 'copy_scripts()' -- this should be more
efficient than Bastian's version, should behave better in
dry-run mode, and does timestamp dependency-checking
necessary to support it.
Details:
- build command additionally calls build_scripts
- build_scripts builds your scripts in 'build/scripts' and adjusts the
first line if it begins with "#!" and ends with "python", optionally
ending with commandline options (like -O, -t ...). Adjusting means we
write the current path to the Python interpreter in the first line.
- install_scripts copies the scripts to the install_scripts dir
- install_data copies your data_files in install_data. You can
supply individual directories for your data_files:
data_files = ['doc/info.txt', # copy this file in install_scripts dir
('testdata', ['a.dat', 'b.dat']), # copy these files in
# install_scripts/testdata
('/etc', ['packagerc']), # copy this in /etc. When --root is
# given, copy this in rootdir/etc
]
So you can use the --root option with absolute data paths.
often, ftp URLs hang in the final close. Further analysis suggests
that this is because the close hook in addclosehook() calls the hook
before acually closing the connection. The hook, in this case, waits
for the '226 Transfer complete' status from the server on the command
socket. However, more and more ftp servers only send this status when
the data socket has actually been closed -- causing a deadlock.
The fix is simple: in addclosehook.close(), call addbase.close()
*before* calling the closehook.
* 'get_command_obj()' now sets command attributes based on
the 'command_options' dictionary
* some typos fixed
* kludged 'parse_config_files()' to re-initialize the ConfigParser
instance after each file, so we know for sure which config
file each option comes form
* added lots of handy debugging output
command-line parsing code, splitting it up into several methods (new
methods: '_parse_command_opts()', '_show_help()') and making it put options
into the 'command_options' dictionary rather than instantiating command
objects and putting them there.
Lots of other little changes:
* merged 'find_command_class()' and 'create_command_obj()' and
called the result 'get_command_class()'
* renamed 'find_command_obj()' to 'get_command_obj()', and added
command object creation and maintenance of the command object cache to
its responsibilities (taken over from 'create_command_obj()')
* parse config files one-at-a-time, so we can keep track of the
filename for later error reporting
* tweaked some help messages
* fixed up many obsolete comments and docstrings
is no index.htm[l] file, and when it is called, it also spits out the
headers. When an index.htm[l] file is present, the regular (file
access) path is followed. Also, when the guessed content-type matches
text/*, open the file in text mode; otherwise in binary mode.
objects, it now has method names.
Added three methods, 'has_lib()', 'has_scripts()', and 'has_data()'
to determine if we need to run each of the three possible sub-commands.
Added 'get_sub_commands()' to take care of finding the methods named
in 'sub_commands', running them, and interpreting the results to
build a list of sub-commands that actually have to be run.
new flexibility, specifically the 'root' option. Now, we just use
"install" to do a fake installation into a temporary directory
(the 'bdist_dir' option, which derives from the 'bdist_base' option of
"bdist"), and then tar/zip up that directory. This means that dumb
built distributions are now relative to the root directory, rather than
the prefix or exec-prefix; this is probably a feature, but does make
them slightly less flexible.
