* 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()'.
Simplified 'Command.get_peer_option()' a tad -- just call 'find_peer()'
to get the peer command object.
Updated 'Command.copy_file()' to take a 'link' parameter, just like
'util.copy_file()' does now.
Added 'Command.make_archive()' to wrap 'util.make_archive()'.
Changes to 'copy_file()':
* added support for making hard links and symlinks
* noted that it silently clobbers existing files when copying, but
blows up if destination exists when linking -- hmmm...
* error message tweak
Added 'base_name' parameter to 'make_tarball()' and 'make_zipfile()'.
Added 'make_archive()' -- wrapper around 'make_tarball()' or
'make_zipfile()' to take care of the archive "root directory".
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
If a non-tuple sequence is passed as the *arg, convert it to a tuple
before checking its length.
If named keyword arguments are used in combination with **kwargs, make
a copy of kwargs before inserting the new keys.
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
executive summary:
Instead of typing 'apply(f, args, kwargs)' you can type 'f(*arg, **kwargs)'.
Some file-by-file details follow.
Grammar/Grammar:
simplify varargslist, replacing '*' '*' with '**'
add * & ** options to arglist
Include/opcode.h & Lib/dis.py:
define three new opcodes
CALL_FUNCTION_VAR
CALL_FUNCTION_KW
CALL_FUNCTION_VAR_KW
Python/ceval.c:
extend TypeError "keyword parameter redefined" message to include
the name of the offending keyword
reindent CALL_FUNCTION using four spaces
add handling of sequences and dictionaries using extend calls
fix function import_from to use PyErr_Format
The new filecmp module has an optional argument called use_statcache
which is documented as a true/false value, but used as an tuple index.
This patches replaces the tuple stuff with a good old if- statement,
and also removes a few other tuple pack/unpack constructs (if not
else, this saves a few bytes in the PYC file, and a few microseconds
when using the module ;-).
The attached patch set includes a workaround to get Python with
Unicode compile on BSDI 4.x (courtesy Thomas Wouters; the cause
is a bug in the BSDI wchar.h header file) and Python interfaces
for the MBCS codec donated by Mark Hammond.
Also included are some minor corrections w/r to the docs of
the new "es" and "es#" parser markers (use PyMem_Free() instead
of free(); thanks to Mark Hammond for finding these).
The unicodedata tests are now in a separate file
(test_unicodedata.py) to avoid problems if the module cannot
be found.
This patch fixes the "search" command in imaplib. The problem
was that a search can take multiple arguments, but as defined,
would only accept one.
I have also made changes to the test code at the end to be less
verbose by default, but to accept a verbosity argument.
The robotparser.py module currently lives in Tools/webchecker. In
preparation for its migration to Lib, I made the following changes:
* renamed the test() function _test
* corrected the URLs in _test() so they refer to actual documents
* added an "if __name__ == '__main__'" catcher to invoke _test()
when run as a main program
* added doc strings for the two main methods, parse and can_fetch
* replaced usage of regsub and regex with corresponding re code
