(with one small bugfix in bgen/bgen/scantools.py)
This replaces string module functions with string methods
for the stuff in the Tools directory. Several uses of
string.letters etc. are still remaining.
(With slight cosmetic improvements to shorten lines and a grammar fix
to a docstring.)
This addes -X and -E options to freeze. From the docstring:
-X module Like -x, except the module can never be imported by
the frozen binary.
-E: Freeze will fail if any modules can't be found (that
were not excluded using -x or -X).
This patch was developed primarily to reduce the size of the
frozen binary. It is particularly useful when freezing for 'small'
platforms, such as Palm OS, where you really want to save that
last miserable byte.
A limitation of this patch is that it does not provide any feedback
about the replacements being made. As the path matching
is case-sensitive this may lead to unexpected behaviour for DOS
and Windows people, eg
> freeze.py -r C:\Python\Lib\=py\ goats.py
should probably be:
> freeze.py -r c:\python\lib\=py\ goats.py
comments, docstrings or error messages. I fixed two minor things in
test_winreg.py ("didn't" -> "Didn't" and "Didnt" -> "Didn't").
There is a minor style issue involved: Guido seems to have preferred English
grammar (behaviour, honour) in a couple places. This patch changes that to
American, which is the more prominent style in the source. I prefer English
myself, so if English is preferred, I'd be happy to supply a patch myself ;)
"""
When there are additional Setup files, specified by -e option of freeze,
checkextenstions.py assumes that *.o, *.a, -Lpath, and -Rpath are all
relative to where the Setup file is. select() inserts the path to the
Setup file to make them absolute. However, the assumption is not true.
There are cases that absolute paths are specified for them. The inserted
prefix, by select(), results in error.
The following fix check for absolute paths. The assumption is: an
absolute path begins with either '/' or '$'. In the latter case, it is
from the environmental variable. (Variables defined locally in the Setup
file have already been handled by expandvars())

My version of the patch has been verified by Charles Waldman (a
colleague of Chih-Hao).

winmakemakefile.py tries to allow for spaces in the python install
path, by adding quotes around the appropriate filenames. It doesn't
quite get this correct; sometimes the quotes end up in the middle of
the path.
Microsoft's NMAKE version 6.0 is happy with this (!!!!) unless there
is also a space in the name. I guess most users of freeze on windows
do not use the same path as the binary distribution.
I've tested the following changes on systems with and without a space
in the path.
Under Windows, python freeze.py -o hello hello.py
creates all the correct files in the hello subdirectory, but the
Makefile has the directory prefix in it for frozen_extensions.c
nmake fails because it tries to locate hello/frozen_extensions.c
(His fix adds a call to os.path.basename() in the appropriate place.)

This version of freeze creates one file per Python module, instead of
one humongous file for all Python modules.
bkfile: new module to used to write files with backups. No new file
is produced if the new contents is identical to the old.
New option "-x excluded-module" for modulefinder test program.
New option "-i filename" for freeze main program to include a list of
options in place of the -i option.
