Montanaro, handle execution of indented regions by inserting an "if
1:" in front of the block. This better preserves things like triple
quoted strings and commented regions. This patch resolves PR#264.
* 'get_command_obj()' now sets command attributes based on
the 'command_options' dictionary
* some typos fixed
* kludged 'parse_config_files()' to re-initialize the ConfigParser
instance after each file, so we know for sure which config
file each option comes form
* added lots of handy debugging output
command-line parsing code, splitting it up into several methods (new
methods: '_parse_command_opts()', '_show_help()') and making it put options
into the 'command_options' dictionary rather than instantiating command
objects and putting them there.
Lots of other little changes:
* merged 'find_command_class()' and 'create_command_obj()' and
called the result 'get_command_class()'
* renamed 'find_command_obj()' to 'get_command_obj()', and added
command object creation and maintenance of the command object cache to
its responsibilities (taken over from 'create_command_obj()')
* parse config files one-at-a-time, so we can keep track of the
filename for later error reporting
* tweaked some help messages
* fixed up many obsolete comments and docstrings
is no index.htm[l] file, and when it is called, it also spits out the
headers. When an index.htm[l] file is present, the regular (file
access) path is followed. Also, when the guessed content-type matches
text/*, open the file in text mode; otherwise in binary mode.
objects, it now has method names.
Added three methods, 'has_lib()', 'has_scripts()', and 'has_data()'
to determine if we need to run each of the three possible sub-commands.
Added 'get_sub_commands()' to take care of finding the methods named
in 'sub_commands', running them, and interpreting the results to
build a list of sub-commands that actually have to be run.
new flexibility, specifically the 'root' option. Now, we just use
"install" to do a fake installation into a temporary directory
(the 'bdist_dir' option, which derives from the 'bdist_base' option of
"bdist"), and then tar/zip up that directory. This means that dumb
built distributions are now relative to the root directory, rather than
the prefix or exec-prefix; this is probably a feature, but does make
them slightly less flexible.
top-level temporary directory for creating built distributions. (Won't
work yet, since the "build" command doesn't yet have a 'build_bdist'
option, and none of the "bdist" commands support it yet.)
