directory that is not the source directory (ie, one created using
'/path/to/source/configure'.) Leaves this test very slightly degraded in
that particular case, compared to the build-in-sourcedir case, but that case
isn't a particularly strong test either: neither test the actual path that
will be used after installing. There isn't a particularly good way to test
this, and a poor test beats a failing test.
directory to the directory in which the setup.py script lived (which made
__file__ wrong)
fixed, with test that the script is run in the current directory of the caller
even if package_dir is empty.
This needs to be backported. I'm too tired tonight. It would be great
if someone backports this if the buildbots are ok with it. Otherwise,
I will try to get to it tomorrow.
scripts without modifying either the distutils installation or the
setup.py scripts of packages with which the new commands will be used.
Specifically, an option is added to distutils that allows additional
packages to be searched for command implementations in addition to
distutils.command. The additional packages can be specified on the
command line or via the installation or personal configuration files
already loaded by distutils.
