Patch from Mark Hammond:
bdist_wininst attempts to use the correct MSVC runtime for the current
version of Python. This doesn't work correctly when --target-version
is set. In that case, bdist_wininst still uses the *current*
sys.version (ie, 2.4) rather than the version specified as
--target-version. Thus, the msvc7 runtime based executable stub is
*always* used.
This patch "hard-codes" knowledge of earlier Python versions,
providing the correct result when Python 2.4 is used to build Python
2.3 and earlier distributions.
Remove the short variant (-v) of the --target-version command line
options, it conflicts with the --verbose/-v standard distutils switch.
msvccompiler.get_build_version().
Distributions without a pre-install-script didn't work any longer, we
must at least provide the terminating NUL character.
install.c: support for a 'pre-install-script', run before anything has
been installed. Provides a 'message_box' module function for use by
either the pre-install or post-install scripts.
bdist_wininst.py: support for pre-install script. Typo (build->built),
fixes so that --target-version can still work, even when the
distribution has extension modules - in this case, we insist on
--skip-build, as we still can't actually build other versions.
bdist_wininst.py we will see.)
Removed the base64 encoded binary contents, wininst.exe must be in the
same directory as this file now.
wininst.exe must be recompiled and commited each time the sources in
PC/bdist_wininst are changed.
always available on Windows NT. When the function cannot be loaded,
get_special_folder_path raises OSError, "function not available".
Compiled the exe, and rebuilt bdist_wininst.py.
This is a conservative version of SF patch 504889. It uses the log
module instead of calling print in various places, and it ignores the
verbose argument passed to many functions and set as an attribute on
some objects. Instead, it uses the verbosity set on the logger via
the command line.
The log module is now preferred over announce() and warn() methods
that exist only for backwards compatibility.
XXX This checkin changes a lot of modules that have no test suite and
aren't exercised by the Python build process. It will need
substantial testing.
--install-script ... command line option to bdist_wininst) at the end
of the installation and at the start of deinstallation. Output
(stdout, stderr) of the script (if any) is displayed in the last
screen at installation, or in a simple message box at deinstallation.
sys.argv[1] for the script will contain '-install' at installation
time or '-remove' at deinstallation time.
The installation script runs in an environment (embedded by the
bdist_wininst runtime) where an additional function is available as
builtin:
create_shortcut(path, description, filename,
[arguments[, workdir[, iconpath, iconindex]]])

crashes.
If no external zip-utility is found, the archive is created by the
zipfile module, which behaves different now than in 2.1: if the
zip-file is created in the root directory if the distribution, it will
contain an (empty) version of itself.
This triggered the above bug - so it's better to create the zip-file
far away in the TMP directory.
bdist_wininst doesn't use the NT SCHEME any more, instead
a custom SCHEME is used, which is exchanged at installation
time, depending on the python version used.
Avoid a bogus warning frpom install_lib about installing
into a directory not on sys.path.
has been changed to include an uninstaller.
I forgot to mention in the uninstaller checkin that the logfile
name (used for uninstalling) has been changed from
<module>.log to <module>-wininst.log. This should prevent
conflicts with a distutils logfile serving the same purpose.
The short form of the --bdist-dir (-d) option has been removed
because it caused conflicts with the short form of the --dist-dir
option.
--bitmap command line option allows to use a different bitmap file instead
of the build-in python powered logo.
--title lets you specify the text to display on the background.
The editbox in the first screen now longer is
selected (highlighted), it had the WS_TABSTOP flag.
This is the patch
http://sourceforge.net/patch/?func=detailpatch&patch_id=103687&group_id=5470
with two changes:
1. No messagebox displayed when the compilation to .pyc or .pyo files
failes, this will only confuse the user (and it will fail under certain
cases, where sys.path contains garbage).
2. A debugging print statement was removed from bdist_wininst.py.
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.
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)
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.
