I need to copy this file in another test too, so I moved the support
code to distutils.tests.support and improved it to use proper skip
machinery instead of custom print/return/test suite fiddling.
Contrary to my similar change in distutils tests, I did not add support
for finding xxmodule.c when running a test from the tests directory,
because in that case my compiler didn’t find Python.h, so I figured it’s
better to skip than to fail.
I made a note a month ago that install --record wrote incorrect entries
for extension modules (I think the problem was that the first character
of the file was stripped), so I’m now adding a test to try to reproduce
that in the current versions.
I need to copy this file in another test too, so I moved the support
code to distutils.tests.support and improved it:
- don’t skip when run from the Lib/distutils/tests directory
- use proper skip machinery instead of custom print/return/test suite
fiddling.
I added a link from the term “virtual subclass” to the glossary entry
for ABCs but this was not enough, now the glossary briefly defines
“virtual” and links to the abc module doc which contains more mentions
of virtual subclasses.
``code`` markup is enough to mark command-line fragments or to talk
about a character. ``'c'`` is still used for actual Python string
objects. I did a similar change in optparse.rst in r86521.
I’ve also ported two minor changes from the 3.3 version of the file
(removing an unnecessary module name in a class directive, adding a
comma).
The example version numbers were invalid and “package” was misused. I
also made lines shorter, replaced “e-mail” with “email” (more common in
the stdlib and I believe in English generally) and tweaked a few other
things.
I made the doc for the compat alias BadZipfile shorter and used a
directive to document deprecation.
I figured there was no point of talking about zipfile.error (“the old
name” that’s older than the other old name BadZipfile) in the 3.x docs
so I just removed it.
