DEBUG = os.environ.get('DISTUTILS_DEBUG') def setup (**attrs): """The gateway to the Distutils: do everything your setup script needs to do, in a highly flexible and user-driven way. Briefly: create a Distribution instance; parse the command-line, creating and customizing instances of the command class for each command found on the command-line; run each of those commands. The Distribution instance might be an instance of a class supplied via the 'distclass' keyword argument to 'setup'; if no such class is supplied, then the 'Distribution' class (also in this module) is instantiated. All other arguments to 'setup' (except for 'cmdclass') are used to set attributes of the Distribution instance. The 'cmdclass' argument, if supplied, is a dictionary mapping command names to command classes. Each command encountered on the command line will be turned into a command class, which is in turn instantiated; any class found in 'cmdclass' is used in place of the default, which is (for command 'foo_bar') class 'foo_bar' in module 'distutils.command.foo_bar'. The command class must provide a 'user_options' attribute which is a list of option specifiers for 'distutils.fancy_getopt'. Any command-line options between the current and the next command are used to set attributes of the current command object. When the entire command-line has been successfully parsed, calls the 'run()' method on each command object in turn. This method will be driven entirely by the Distribution object (which each command object has a reference to, thanks to its constructor), and the command-specific options that became attributes of each command object.""" from pprint import pprint # for debugging output # Determine the distribution class -- either caller-supplied or # our Distribution (see below). klass = attrs.get ('distclass') if klass: del attrs['distclass'] else: klass = Distribution # Create the Distribution instance, using the remaining arguments # (ie. everything except distclass) to initialize it dist = klass (attrs) # Find and parse the config file(s): they will override options from # the setup script, but be overridden by the command line. dist.parse_config_files() print "options (after parsing config files):" pprint (dist.command_options) # Parse the command line; any command-line errors are the end user's # fault, so turn them into SystemExit to suppress tracebacks. try: ok = dist.parse_command_line (sys.argv[1:]) except DistutilsArgError, msg: sys.stderr.write (usage + "\n") raise SystemExit, "error: %s" % msg print "options (after parsing command line):" pprint (dist.command_options) # And finally, run all the commands found on the command line. if ok: try: dist.run_commands () except KeyboardInterrupt: raise SystemExit, "interrupted" except (IOError, os.error), exc: # check for Python 1.5.2-style {IO,OS}Error exception objects if hasattr (exc, 'filename') and hasattr (exc, 'strerror'): if exc.filename: error = "error: %s: %s" % (exc.filename, exc.strerror) else: # two-argument functions in posix module don't # include the filename in the exception object! error = "error: %s" % exc.strerror else: error = "error: " + str(exc[-1]) if DEBUG: sys.stderr.write(error + "\n") raise else: raise SystemExit, error except (DistutilsExecError, DistutilsFileError, DistutilsOptionError), msg: if DEBUG: raise else: raise SystemExit, "error: " + str(msg) # setup ()
