I regularly find that pdb sets the breakpoint on the wrong line when I
try to set a breakpoint on a function. This fixes the problem
somewhat.
The real problem is that pdb tries to parse the Python source code to
find the first executable line. A better way might be to inspect the
code object, or even have a variable in the code object
co_firstexecutablelineno, but that's too much work.
The patch fixes the problem when the first code line after the def
statement contains the start *and* end of a triple-quoted string. The
code assumed that the end of a triple-quoted string is not on the same
line as the start, and so it would skip to the end of the *next*
triple-quoted string.
have fork and execv (and friends) but not spawnv. They operate
exactly like the spawn functions on Windows. A limited set of needed
constants is also defined (P_WAIT, P_NOWAIT etc.).
Also add getenv() as a familiar alias for environ.get().
Now supports the full range of intended formats (tar, ztar, gztar, zip).
"-f" no longer a short option for "--formats" -- conflicts with new
global option "--force"!
At import time, getpass will be bound to the appropriate
platform-specific function. If the platform's echo-disabler is not
available, default_getpass, which prints the warning, will be used
I found the following patch helpful in tracking down a bug in some
code. I had appended time, the module, instead of time.time(). Not
sure if it is generally true that printing the repr of the object is
good, but I expect that most unpicklable things will have fairly
information and concise reprs (like files or sockets or modules).
Withdraw the change that Fred just checked in -- it was a poorly
documented feature, not a bug, to ignore I/O errors in read().
The new docstring explains the reason for the feature:
"""
this is designed so that you can specifiy a list of potential
configuration file locations (e.g. current directory, user's home
directory, systemwide directory), and all existing configuration files
in the list will be read.
"""
Also add a lower-level function, readfp(), which takes an open file
object (and optionally a filename).
XXX There are some other problems with this module, but I don't have
time to dig into these; in particular, there are complaints that the
%(name)s substitution from the [DEFAULTS] section doesn't work
correctly.
global options table.
Every Command instance now has its own copies of the global options,
which automatically fallback to the Distribution instance. Changes:
- initialize them in constructor
- added '__getattr__()' to handle the fallback logic
- changed every 'self.distribution.{verbose,dry_run}' in Command to
'self.{verbose,dry_run}'.
- filesystem utility methods ('copy_file()' et al) don't take 'update'
parameter anymore -- instead we pass 'not force' to the underlying
function as 'update'
Changed parsing of command line so that global options apply to all
commands as well -- that's how (eg.) Command.verbose will be initialized.
Simplified 'make_file()' to use 'newer_group()' (from util module).
Deleted some cruft.
Some docstring tweaks.
the code a bit and should make it work under Windows even with trailing
backslash.
Fixed a couple of docstrings.
Added comment about 'make_file()' possibly being redundant and unnecessary.
- change how we call it
- added methods 'library_dir_option()', 'library_option()', and
'find_library_file()' that it calls
Added 'force' flag; it's automatically "respected", because this class
always rebuilds everything! (Which it to say, "force=0" is not respected.)
Catch up with changes in 'gen_lib_options()':
- change how we call it
- added methods 'library_dir_option()', 'library_option()', and
'find_library_file()' that it calls
Added 'force' flag and changed compile/link methods to respect it.
has a directory component, then we only search for the library in
that one directory, ie. ignore the 'library_dirs' lists for that
one library.
Changed calling convention to 'gen_lib_options()' again: now, it takes
a CCompiler instance and calls methods on it instead of taking
format strings. Also implemented the new "library name" semantics
using the 'find_library_file()' method in the CCompiler instance.
Added 'force' flag to CCompiler; added to constructor and 'new_compiler()'.
Added 'warn()' method.
Catch up with renamed 'platdir' -> 'build_platlib' option in 'build'.
Don't call 'set_final_options()' in 'run()' anymore -- that's now
guaranteed to be taken care of for us by the Distribution instance.
If 'include_dirs' is a string, split it on os.pathsep (this is half-
hearted -- support for setting compile/link options on the command
line is totally lame and probably won't work at all).
Added 'get_source_files()' for use by 'dist' command.
Added code to 'build_extensions()' to figure out the "def file" to use
with MSVC++ and add it to the linker command line as an "extra_postarg".
