- First, support.fixup_build_ext (already used to set proper
library_dirs value under Unix shared builds) gains the ability to
correctly set the debug attribute under Windows debug builds.
- Second, the filename for the extension module gets a _d suffix under
debug builds.
- Third, the test code properly puts our customized build_ext object
into an internal dictionary to make sure that the install command will
later use our object instead of re-creating one. That’s the downside
of using low-level APIs in our test code: we have to manually push
knobs and turn handles that would otherwise be handled behind the
scenes.
Thanks to Nadeem for the testing.
I made a note a month ago that install --record wrote incorrect entries
for extension modules (I think the problem was that the first character
of the file was stripped), so I’m now adding a test to try to reproduce
that in the current versions.
I need to copy this file in another test too, so I moved the support
code to distutils.tests.support and improved it:
- don’t skip when run from the Lib/distutils/tests directory
- use proper skip machinery instead of custom print/return/test suite
fiddling.
A reminder: distutils only gets bug fixes. Cosmetic changes, especially
in tests, are not worth the time spent, and can even make future merges
of bugfixes a bit less easy.
The changed behavior of sdist in 3.1 broke packaging for projects that
wanted to use a manually-maintained MANIFEST file (instead of having a
MANIFEST.in template and letting distutils generate the MANIFEST).
The fixes that were committed for #8688 (76643c286b9f by Tarek and
d54da9248ed9 by me) did not fix all issues exposed in the bug report,
and also added one problem: the MANIFEST file format gained comments,
but the read_manifest method was not updated to handle (i.e. ignore)
them. This changeset should fix everything; the tests have been
expanded and I successfully tested the 2.7 version with Mercurial, which
suffered from this regression.
I have grouped the versionchanged directives for these bugs in one place
and added micro version numbers to help users know the quirks of the
exact version they’re using.
Initial report, thorough diagnosis and patch by John Dennis, further
work on the patch by Stephen Thorne, and a few edits and additions by
me.
We don't need to create a temporary buffered binary or text file object just to
create an empty file.
Replace also os.fdopen(handle).close() by os.close(handle).
I have removed the reST target I added in 38cdca2cc253: it is not necessary, as
people can link to the glossary entry or the abc module without it.
Two indentation fixes from 3.2 collections.rst have been ported to 3.3
collections.abc.rst.
The tests now pass all combinations of -O/-OO and -B. See also #7071
and #6292 for previous variations on the same theme.
test_versionpredicate needs a skip when sys.flags.optimize is true, but
I don’t know how to make that work with a DocTestSuite.
Without this patch python will fail to start properly when the environment
variable MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET is set on MacOSX and has a value that is
not compatible with the value during Python's build. This is caused by code
in sysconfig that was only meant to be used in disutils.
