Greg Ward 58ec6ede20 Fixed the '--license' option so it's officially an alias for '--licence',
and now actually works.

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 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

Greg Ward 68a0757e23 Removed global '--force' option -- just too vague a concept to be applicable
to all commands in the same way.  Several Command methods now either expect
'self.force' to be defined, or check if it is defined and assume it's
false if not.

Greg Ward 7d508fe568 Add missing import of 'usage' string. 2000-04-06 02:07:41 +00:00
Greg Ward fe6462c1f3 Reorganization: moved the Distribution class from core.py to dist.py, and
the Command class from core.py to cmd.py.  No other code needs changing
though; distutils.core still provides the Command and Distribution classes,
although indirectly now.
