Creating a new Distutils command
|

|
================================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This section outlines the steps to create a new Distutils command.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A new command lives in a module in the :mod:`distutils.command` package. There
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
is a sample template in that directory called :file:`command_template`. Copy
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
this file to a new module with the same name as the new command you're
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
implementing. This module should implement a class with the same name as the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
module (and the command). So, for instance, to create the command
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
``peel_banana`` (so that users can run ``setup.py peel_banana``), you'd copy
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
:file:`command_template` to :file:`distutils/command/peel_banana.py`, then edit
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
it so that it's implementing the class :class:`peel_banana`, a subclass of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
:class:`distutils.cmd.Command`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Subclasses of :class:`Command` must define the following methods.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: Command.initialize_options()
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Set default values for all the options that this command supports. Note that
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
these defaults may be overridden by other commands, by the setup script, by
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
config files, or by the command-line. Thus, this is not the place to code
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
dependencies between options; generally, :meth:`initialize_options`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
implementations are just a bunch of ``self.foo = None`` assignments.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: Command.finalize_options()
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Set final values for all the options that this command supports. This is
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
always called as late as possible, ie. after any option assignments from the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
command-line or from other commands have been done. Thus, this is the place
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to to code option dependencies: if *foo* depends on *bar*, then it is safe to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
set *foo* from *bar* as long as *foo* still has the same value it was
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
assigned in :meth:`initialize_options`.
|
|

|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
commands, the setup script, the command-line, and config files, and finalized in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
:meth:`finalize_options`. All terminal output and filesystem interaction should
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
be done by :meth:`run`.

|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*sub_commands* formalizes the notion of a "family" of commands,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
e.g. ``install`` as the parent with sub-commands ``install_lib``,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
``install_headers``, etc. The parent of a family of commands defines
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*sub_commands* as a class attribute; it's a list of 2-tuples ``(command_name,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
predicate)``, with *command_name* a string and *predicate* a function, a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
string or ``None``. *predicate* is a method of the parent command that
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
determines whether the corresponding command is applicable in the current
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
situation. (E.g. ``install_headers`` is only applicable if we have any C
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
header files to install.) If *predicate* is ``None``, that command is always
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
applicable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*sub_commands* is usually defined at the *end* of a class, because
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
predicates can be methods of the class, so they must already have been
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
defined. The canonical example is the :command:`install` command.

as the parent with sub-commands ``install_lib``, ``install_headers``, etc. The

a list of 2-tuples ``(command_name, predicate)``, with *command_name* a string

and *predicate* a function, a string or None. *predicate* is a method of

|
|
|
|

the parent command that determines whether the corresponding command is

|
|
|
|
|
|
applicable in the current situation. (Eg. we ``install_headers`` is only
|
|

|
|
|

applicable if we have any C header files to install.) If *predicate* is None,
|
|
|

that command is always applicable.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*sub_commands* is usually defined at the \*end\* of a class, because predicates
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
can be methods of the class, so they must already have been defined. The
|

canonical example is the :command:`install` command.
