HKEY_* and Reg* names once, rather than having near-duplicate code
in the two import attempts.
Also dropped the leading underscore on all the imported symbols,
as it's not appropriate (they're not local to this module).
* 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
we don't know what to do with it when we see it.
Call '_fix_object_args()' and/or '_fix_lib_args()' as appropriate, rather
than just '_fix_link_args()'.
Split '_fix_link_args()' up into '_fix_object_args()' (for use of
'create_static_lib() and link methods) and '_fix_lib_args()' (for the
link methods only).
Attached you find the latest update of the Unicode implementation.
The patch is against the current CVS version.
It includes the fix I posted yesterday for the core dump problem
in codecs.c (was introduced by my previous patch set -- sorry),
adds more tests for the codecs and two new parser markers
"es" and "es#".
these must come from the 'build' command. This means we no longer need
the misconceived 'set_peer_option()' method in Command and, more importantly,
sweeps away a bunch of potential future complexity to handle this tricky
case.
Fix 'Command.set_undefined_option()' to call 'ensure_ready()' rather
than 'finalize_options()' (which is only supposed to be called once,
which is the whole point of 'ensure_ready()').
Added comment to 'set_peer_option()' to remind myself that this method
cannot work and is fundamentally wrong-headed.
this command for a while; this implements roughly the plan cooked up by
Guido, Fred, and me. Seems to strike a nice balance between usability in
the common cases (just set one option), expandability for more types of
files to install in future, and customizability of installation
directories.
This revision isn't completely working: standard and alternate
installations work fine, but there are still some kinks to work out of
customized installations.
Attached you find an update of the Unicode implementation.
The patch is against the current CVS version. I would appreciate
if someone with CVS checkin permissions could check the changes
in.
The patch contains all bugs and patches sent this week and also
fixes a leak in the codecs code and a bug in the free list code
for Unicode objects (which only shows up when compiling Python
with Py_DEBUG; thanks to MarkH for spotting this one).
* improve help strings
* warn if user supplies non-existing directories
* don't try to 'remove_tree()' non-existing directories
* try to remove the build_base after cleanup (but don't do or say
anything if it fails -- this is just in case we made it empty)
option in the 'build_ext' command):
* in ccompiler.py: 'gen_lib_options()' now takes 'runtime_library_dirs'
parameter
* in unixccompiler.py and msvccompiler.py: now pass
'self.runtime_library_dirs' to 'gen_lib_options()', and define
'runtime_library_dir_option()' (although in msvccompiler.py it
blows up with a DistutilsPlatformError right now!)
