* build to "Debug" or "Release" temp directory
* put linker turds (.lib and .exp files) in the build temp directory
* tack on "_d" to extensions built with debugging
* added 'get_ext_libname()' help in putting linker turds to temp dir
Also, moved the code that simplifies None to empty list for a bunch
of options to 'finalize_options()' instead of 'run()'.
the command that actually creates "dumb" binary distributions, ie.
tarballs and zip files that you just unpack under <prefix> or <exec-prefix>.
Very limited, but it's a start.
Initial revision is pretty limited; it only knows how to generate "dumb"
binary distributions, i.e. a tarball on Unix and a zip file on Windows.
Also, due to limitations in the installation code, it only knows how to
distribute Python library code. But hey, it's a start.
provided by Distribution.
Cosmetic and error message tweaks.
Simplified 'make_release_tree()':
* extracted 'distutils.util.create_tree()'
* don't have to do hard-linking ourselves -- it's now handled by
'distutils.util.copy_file()' (although the detection of
whether hard linking is available still needs to be factored out)
Removed 'make_tarball()' and 'make_zipfile()' entirely -- their role
is now amply filled by 'distutils.util.make_archive()'.
Simplified 'make_distribution()':
* use Distribution's new 'get_full_name()' method
* use 'make_archive()' instead of if/elif/.../else on the archive format
is responsible for installing all Python modules (pure and extensions).
Added 'get_outputs()' in preparation for the 'bdist' command, and
'_mutate_outputs()' to support 'get_outputs()'.
in a class attribute 'sub_commands', rather than hard-coded in 'run()'.
This should make it easier to subclass 'install', and also makes it
easier to keep 'run()' and the new 'get_outputs()' consistent.
Added 'get_outputs()' in preparation for the 'bdist' command.
Changed signature of 'build_extensions()': no longer takes the extension
list, but uses 'self.extensions' (just like 'get_outputs()' has to)
Moved call to 'check_extensions_list()' from 'run()' to 'build_extensions()',
again for consistency with 'get_outputs()'.
A host of improvements in preparation for the 'bdist' command:
- added 'get_outputs()' method (all the other improvements were to support
this addition)
- made 'find_package_modules()' and 'find_modules()' return similar
values (list of (package, module, module_filename) tuples)
- factored 'find_all_modules()' out of 'get_source_files()' (needed
by 'get_outputs()')
- factored 'get_module_outfile()' out of 'build_module()' (also needed
by 'get_outputs()')
- various little tweaks, improvements, comment/doc updates
these must come from the 'build' command. This means we no longer need
the misconceived 'set_peer_option()' method in Command and, more importantly,
sweeps away a bunch of potential future complexity to handle this tricky
case.
this command for a while; this implements roughly the plan cooked up by
Guido, Fred, and me. Seems to strike a nice balance between usability in
the common cases (just set one option), expandability for more types of
files to install in future, and customizability of installation
directories.
This revision isn't completely working: standard and alternate
installations work fine, but there are still some kinks to work out of
customized installations.
* improve help strings
* warn if user supplies non-existing directories
* don't try to 'remove_tree()' non-existing directories
* try to remove the build_base after cleanup (but don't do or say
anything if it fails -- this is just in case we made it empty)
* replaced build_lib.py with build_clib.py
* renamed the class in build_clib.py
* changed all references to 'build_lib' command in other command classes
when building extensions (uses build_lib's 'get_library_names()' method).
Ensure that the relative structure of source filenames is preserved in
the temporary build tree, eg. foo/bar.c compiles to
build/temp.<plat>/foo/bar.o.
Added 'build_clib' and 'build_temp' options (where to put C libraries
and where to put temporary compiler by-products, ie. object files).
Moved the call to 'check_library_list()' from 'run()' to 'finalize_options()'
-- that way, if we're going to crash we do so earlier, and we guarantee
that the library list is valid before we do anything (not just run).
Disallow directory separators in library names -- the compiled library
always goes right in 'build_clib'.
Added 'get_library_names()', so the "build_ext" command knows what
libraries to link every extension with.
* 'build_dir' -> 'build_lib', which by default takes its value
straight from 'build_lib' in the 'build' command
* added 'build_temp' and 'inplace' options
* change 'build_extensions()' to put object files (compiler turds) in
'build_temp' dir
* complicated the name-of-extension-file shenanigans in
'build_extensions()' to support "in-place" extension building, i.e.
put the extension right into the source tree (handy for developers)
* added 'get_ext_fullname()', renamed 'extension_filename()' to
'get_ext_filename()', and tweaked the latter a bit -- all to support
the new filename shenanigans
old 'dist' command, but the code for dealing with manifests is completely
redone -- and renaming the command to 'sdist' is more symmetric with the
soon-to-exist 'bdist' command.
'--help-commands' option).
Shuffled imports around in a few command modules to avoid expensive
up-front import of sysconfig (and resulting delays in generating list
of all commands).
Added 'nuke_release_tree()' method to blow away the directory from
which the archive file(s) are created, and call it (conditionally)
from 'make_distribution()'.
Added 'keep_tree' option (false by default) to disable the call to
'nuke_release_tree()'.
install) the setup script itself.
Fixed 'build_module()' so we do *not* preserve file mode (which means
we can install read-only files, which makes the next installation
of this distribution fail -- at least under Unix); added a comment
explaining this.
Bunch of little bug fixes that appeared in building non-packagized
distributions. Mainly:
- brain-slip typo in 'get_package_dir()'
- don't try to os.path.join() an empty path tuple -- it doesn't like it
- more type-safety in 'build_module()'
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"!
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".
Don't call 'set_final_options()' in 'run()' anymore -- that's now
guaranteed to be taken care of for us by the Distribution instance.
Rearranged to bit to allow outsiders (specifically, the 'dist' command)
to find out what modules we would build:
- 'find_modules()' renamed to 'find_package_modules()'
- most of 'build_modules()' abstracted out to 'find_modules()'
- added 'get_source_files()' (for the 'dist' command to use)
- drastically simplified 'build_modules()' -- now just a wrapper around
'find_modules()' and 'build_module()'
Tweaked some help strings to be consistent with documentation.
Don't call 'set_final_options()' in 'run()' anymore -- that's now
guaranteed to be taken care of for us by the Distribution instance.
distributions their own directory (and .pth file).
Overhauled how we determine installation directories in
'set_final_options()' to separate platform-dependence and take
'install_path' option into account.
Added 'create_path_file()' to create path config file when 'install_path'
given.
Only run 'install_py' and 'install_ext' when, respectively, there are
some pure Python modules and some extension modules in the distribution.
- rename 'dir' to 'build_dir'
- take 'package' from distribution option 'ext_package'
- take 'extensions' from distribution option 'ext_modules'
- take 'include_dirs' from distribution
Name keyword args explictly when calling CCompiler methods.
Overhauled how we generate extension filenames (in 'extension_filename()
and 'build_extension()') to take 'package' option into account.
'install_site_lib' and install_site_platlib' on non-POSIX platforms.
Should at least work for NT, as this is adopted from Amos Latteier's NT
patches. Also added extensive comments bitching about the inadequacy of
the current model, both under POSIX and NT (and probably other) systems.
of the 'install_py' command rather than 'build_py'. Obviously, this
meant that the 'build_py' and 'install_py' modules had to change; less
obviously, so did 'install' and 'build', since these higher-level
commands must make options available to control the lower-level
commands, and some compilation-related options had to migrate with the
code.
