about how it would be nice to write absolute paths to the temporary
byte-compilation script, but this doesn't work because it screws up the
trailing-slash trickery done to 'prefix' in build_py's 'byte_compile()'
method.
Fixed to use 'execute()' instead of 'os.remove()' to remove the temporary
script: now it doesn't blow up in dry-run mode!
by default (since compiling at install time works just fine). Details:
- added 'compile' and 'optimize' options
- added 'byte_compile()' method
- changed 'get_outputs()' so it includes bytecode files
A lot of the code added is very similar to code in install_lib.py;
would be nice to factor it out further.
choice between (compile, no-compile) * (optimize=0, optimize=1,
optimize=2). Details:
- added --no-compile option to complement --compile, which has
been there for ages
- changed --optimize (which never worked) to a value option, which
expects 0, 1, or 2
- renamed 'bytecompile()' method to 'byte_compile()', and beefed
it up to handle both 'compile' and 'optimize' options
- fix '_bytecode_filenames()' to respect the new options
standard 'py_compile.compile()' function. Laundry list of features:
- handles standard Distutils 'force', 'verbose', 'dry_run' flags
- handles various levels of optimization: can compile directly in
this interpreter process, or write a temporary script that is
then executed by a new interpreter with the appropriate flags
- can rewrite the source filename by stripping an optional prefix
and preprending an optional base dir.
- added 'sub_commands' class attr
- added 'has_*()' predicates referenced by the sub-command list
- rewrote 'run()' so it's a trivial loop over relevant sub-commands
They are unneeded: All this stuff is already done by the
install command which is run by bdist_wininst.
One bug has been fixed:
The root of the fake install tree is install.install_purelib,
not install.install_lib!
They are different if the extra_path option is used in
the setup function.
Rebuild after the changes to wininst.exe.
Removed get_ext_libname() because it is unused.
Fixed get_libraries() to append an '_d' to the python debug
import library. If MSVC is used, do not add 'pythonxx.lib' to
the list of libraries, because this is handled better
by a pragma in config.h.
This should fix bug #115595, but it needs some more testing.
implementations. Details:
* replace 'link_shared_object()', 'link_shared_lib()', and
'link_executable()' with 'link()', which is (roughly)
the union of the three methods it replaces
* in all implementation classes (UnixCCompiler, MSVCCompiler, etc.),
ditch the old 'link_*()' methods and replace them with 'link()'
* in the abstract base class (CCompiler), add the old 'link_*()'
methods as wrappers around the new 'link()' (they also print
a warning of the deprecated interface)
Also increases consistency between MSVCCompiler and BCPPCompiler,
hopefully to make it easier to factor out the mythical WindowsCCompiler
class. Details:
* use 'self.linker' instead of 'self.link'
* add ability to compile resource files to BCPPCompiler
* added (redundant?) 'object_filename()' method to BCPPCompiler
* only generate a .def file if 'export_symbols' defined
* options can now be spelled "foo-bar" or "foo_bar" (handled in
'parse_config_files()', just after we parse a file)
* added a "[global]" section so there's a place to set global
options like verbose/quiet and dry-run
* respect the "negative alias" dictionary so (eg.) "quiet=1" is
the same as "verbose=0" (this had to be done twice: once in
'parse_config_file()' for global options, and once in
'_set_command_options()' for per-command options)
* the other half of handling boolean options correctly: allow
commands to list their boolean options in a 'boolean_options'
class attribute, and use it to translate strings (like "yes", "1",
"no", "0", etc) to true or false
'convert_paths()' method to convert them all to the local syntax (backslash
or colon or whatever) at the appropriate time.
Added SCHEME_KEYS to get rid of one hard-coded list of attributes (in
'select_scheme()').
Default 'install_path_file' to true, and never set it false (it's just
there in case some outsider somewhere wants to disable installation of the
.pth file for whatever reason).
Toned down the warning emitted when 'install_path_file' is false, since we
no longer know why it might be false.
Added 'warn_dir' flag to suppress warning when installing to a directory
not in sys.path (again, we never set this false -- it's there for outsiders
to use, specifically the "bdist_*" commands).
Pulled the loop of 'change_root()' calls out to new method 'change_roots()'.
Comment updates/deletions/additions.
resource files. The gist of the patch is to treat ".rc" and ".mc"
files as source files; ".mc" files are compiled to ".rc" and then
".res", and ".rc" files are compiled to ".res". Wish I knew what
all these things stood for...
in a string (gives you something to do with the dictionary returned
by 'parse_makefile()').
Pulled the regexes in 'parse_makefile()' out -- they're now globals,
as 'expand_makefile_vars()' needs (two of) them.
Cosmetic tweaks to 'parse_makefile()'.
easier for people porting Makefile.pre.in-based extensions to Distutils.
Also loosened argument-checking in Extension constructor to make life
easier for 'read_setup_file()'.
are completely skipped, rather than being treated as blank lines
(and then subject to the 'skip_blanks' flag). This allows us
to process old-style Setup files, which rely on
hello \\
# boo!
there
coming out as "hello there".
Dropped the 'collapse_ws' option and replaced it with 'collapse_join' --
it's *much* faster (no 're.sub()') and this is the reason I really added
'collapse_ws', ie. to remove leading whitespace from a line being joined
to the previous line.
(eg. "bdist_dumb", to generate both ZIP and tar archives in the same
run), tell all but the last run to keep temp files -- this just gets
rid of the need to pseudo-install the same files multiple times.
the command's sub-commands as well (off by default). This is essential if
we want to be be able to run (eg.) "install" twice in one run, as happens
when generating multiple built distributions in one run.
families" -- eg. install and its brood, build and its brood, and so forth.
Specifically: added the 'sub_commands' class attribute (empty list, sub-
classes must override it) and a comment describing it, and the
'get_sub_commands()' method.
of globals from sysconfig.
Added 'prefix' and 'exec_prefix' to the list of variables that can be
expanded in installation directories (preserving the stupid old names
of 'sys_prefix' and 'sys_exec_prefix, though).
all that work when someone asks for a "configuration variable" from the
Makefile. Details:
- added 'get_config_vars()': responsible for calling one of the
'_init_*()' functions to figure things out for this platform,
and to provide an interface to the resulting dictionary
- added 'get_config_var()' as a simple interface to the dictionary
loaded by 'get_config_vars()'
- changed the '_init_*()' functions so they load the global dictionary
'_config_vars', rather than spewing their findings all over
the module namespace
- don't delete the '_init_*()' functions when done importing
- adjusted 'customize_compiler()' to the new regime
used to create the distribution and the creation date.
Takes care of the extra_path argument to the setup function,
installs the modules into <prefix>/extra_path and creates
a -pth file (like install_lib does).
distutils/command/bdist_wininst.py:
- the windows installer is again able to compile after installing
the files. Note: The default has changed, the packager has to
give --no-target-compile/--no-target-optimize to NOT compile
on the target system. (Another note: install_lib's --compile
--optimize options have the same semantics to switch off
the compilation. Shouldn't the names change?)
- All references to specific python versions are gone.
- A small bug:
raise DistutilsPlatformError ("...")
instead of
raise DistutilsPlatformError, ("...")
- When bdist_wininst creates an installer for one specific python
version, this is reflected in the name:
Distutils-0.9.2.win32-py15.exe instead of
Distutils-0.9.2.win32.exe
- bdist_wininst, when run as script, reads the wininst.exe file
and rewrites itself. Previously this was done by hand.
misc/install.c
- All the changes needed for compilation
- Deleted a lot of debug/dead code
* ensure the "dist" directory exists
* raise exception if using for modules containing compiled extensions
on a non-win32 platform.
* don't create an .ini file anymore (it was just for debugging)
fairly tight control, and the '_setup_stop_after' and '_setup_distribution'
globals to provide the tight control.
This isn't entirely reliable yet: it dies horribly with a NameError on the
example PIL setup script in examples/pil_setup.py (at least with Python
1.5.2; untested with current Python). There's some strangeness going
on with execfile(), but I don't understand it and don't have time
to track it down right now.
according to the MS docs it enables exception-handling, and (according
to Alex Martelli <aleaxit@yahoo.com>) is needed to compile without
getting warnings from standard C++ library headers. Apparently
it doesn't cause any problems with C code, so I haven't bothered
conditionalizing the use of /GX.
Changed 'core.setup()' so it sets them to reasonable defaults.
Tweaked how the "usage" string is generated: 'core' now provides
'gen_usage()', which is used instead of 'USAGE'.
Modified "build_py" and "sdist" commands to refer to
'self.distribution.script_name' rather than 'sys.argv[0]'.
The known bug (bogus error message when an empty file is
extracted) is fixed.
Other changes:
- The target-compile and target-optimize flags of bdist_wininst
are gone. It is no longer possible to compile the python
files during installation.
- The zlib module is no longer required or used by bdist_wininst.
- I moved the decompression/extraction code into a separate
file (extract.c).
- The installer stub is now compressed by UPX (see
http://upx.tsx.org/). This reduces the size of the exe
(and thus the overhead of the final installer program)
from 40 kB to 16 kB.
- The installer displays a more uptodate user wizard-like
user interface, also containing a graphic: Just's Python Powered logo.
(I could not convince myself to use one of the BeOpen logos).
- The installation progress bar now moves correctly.
* use self.debug_print() for debug messages
* uses now copy.copy() to copy lists
* added 'shared_lib_extension=".dll"', ... , this is necessary if you
want use the compiler class outside of the standard distutils build
process.
* changed result type of check_config_h() from int to string
participates in the "--root" hack, ie. it also has a new root directory
hacked on at the very last minute (essential if the .pth file is to be
included in an RPM or other smart installer!).
- added big comment describing possible problems
- look for and react to versions of gcc, ld, and dlltool; mainly
this is done by the 'get_versions()' function and the CygwinCCompiler
and Mingw32CCompiler constructors
- move 'check_config_h()' to end of file and defer calling it until
we need to (ie. in the CygwinCCompiler constructor)
- lots of changes in 'link_shared_object()' -- mostly seems to be
library and DLL stuff, but I don't follow it entirely
it so BCPPCompiler actually works, so I'm provisionally accepting it
-- ugly and working is better than not working! Major changes:
- normalize paths (apparently BC++ doesn't like slashes)
- overhauled how we search for and specify libraries on the linker
command-line
- hacked up 'find_library_file()' so it knows about "debug" library
naming convention as well as "bcpp_xxx.lib" -- the question is,
is this a well-established and sensible convention?
Also:
- change to use 'util.write_file()' to write the .def file
- 'export_symbol_file' (and corresponding 'def_file' in the old
"build info" dict) are gone; warn if we see 'def_file' in the
dict
- the MSVC "pre-link hack" is gone -- all that stuff is now handled
elsewhere (eg. by using 'export_symbols', etc.)
- add 'get_export_symbols()' and 'get_libraries()' methods -- needed
because on Windows, both of those things are a tad more complicated
than fetching them from the Extension instance
Added 'remove_duplicates()'.
Simplified constructor: no longer take 'files' or 'allfiles' as args,
and no longer have 'dir' attribute at all.
Added 'set_allfiles()' and 'findall()' so the client does have a
way to set the list of all files.
Changed 'include_pattern()' to use the 'findall()' method instead of
the external function. (Of course, the method is just a trivial
wrapper around the function.)
