light of three different situations: (1) running from build; (2)
running from installed; (3) running without being able to find an
installation (e.g. as a COM object). The system paths in the
repository are only used for (3); the path deduced from the
installation location are used otherwise. PYTHONHOME overrides in all
cases.

the return value of PySequence_Length(). If an exception occurred,
the returned length will be -1. Make sure this doesn't get obscurred,
and that the bogus length isn't used.
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
running out of the build directory. This means that it will no longer
try to use an older version of the library when an older version has
been installed.
This was originally submitted by Martin von Loewis as part of his
Unicode patch; all I did was add special cases for Python int and
float objects and rearrange the object type tests somewhat to speed up
the common cases (string, int, float, tuple, unicode, object).
executive summary:
Instead of typing 'apply(f, args, kwargs)' you can type 'f(*arg, **kwargs)'.
Some file-by-file details follow.
