Patch from Mark Hammond:
bdist_wininst attempts to use the correct MSVC runtime for the current
version of Python. This doesn't work correctly when --target-version
is set. In that case, bdist_wininst still uses the *current*
sys.version (ie, 2.4) rather than the version specified as
--target-version. Thus, the msvc7 runtime based executable stub is
*always* used.
This patch "hard-codes" knowledge of earlier Python versions,
providing the correct result when Python 2.4 is used to build Python
2.3 and earlier distributions.
Remove the short variant (-v) of the --target-version command line
options, it conflicts with the --verbose/-v standard distutils switch.
This is basically the support for package data from Phillip Eby's
setuptools package. I've changed it only to fit it into the core
implementation rather than to live in subclasses, and added
documentation.
requires and provides. requires is a sequence of strings, of the
form 'packagename-version'. The dependency checking so far merely
does an '__import__(packagename)' and checks for packagename.__version__
You can also leave off the version, and any version of the package
will be installed.
There's a special case for the package 'python' - sys.version_info
is used, so
requires= ( 'python-2.3', )
just works.
Provides is of the same format as requires - but if it's not supplied,
a provides is generated by adding the version to each entry in packages,
or modules if packages isn't there.
Provides is currently only used in the PKG-INFO file. Shortly, PyPI
will grow the ability to accept these lines, and register will be
updated to send them.
There's a new command 'checkdep' command that runs these checks.
For this version, only greater-than-or-equal checking is done. We'll
add the ability to specify an optional operator later.

This is a conservative version of SF patch 504889. It uses the log
module instead of calling print in various places, and it ignores the
verbose argument passed to many functions and set as an attribute on
some objects. Instead, it uses the verbosity set on the logger via
the command line.
The log module is now preferred over announce() and warn() methods
that exist only for backwards compatibility.
XXX This checkin changes a lot of modules that have no test suite and
aren't exercised by the Python build process. It will need
substantial testing.
--install-script ... command line option to bdist_wininst) at the end

(stdout, stderr) of the script (if any) is displayed in the last

sys.argv[1] for the script will contain '-install' at installation
time or '-remove' at deinstallation time.
The installation script runs in an environment (embedded by the

present - at least the swigged file should be named <name>_wrap.c as
this is also SWIG's default. (Even better would be to generate the
wrapped sources in a different location, but I'll leave this for
later).
Newer versions of SWIG don't accept the -dnone flag any more.
Since virtually nobody uses SWIG with distutils, this should do no
harm.

If no external zip-utility is found, the archive is created by the
zipfile module, which behaves different now than in 2.1: if the
zip-file is created in the root directory if the distribution, it will
contain an (empty) version of itself.
This triggered the above bug - so it's better to create the zip-file
far away in the TMP directory.

distutils for the library modules built as shared objects. A better solution
appears possible, but with the threat that the distutils becomes more
magical ("complex").
This closes SF bug #458343.
bdist_wininst doesn't use the NT SCHEME any more, instead
a custom SCHEME is used, which is exchanged at installation
time, depending on the python version used.

Remove an unused local variable spotted by PyChecker
to the current Python interpreter (ie. the one used for
building/installation), even (especially!) if "/usr/bin/env" appears in
the #! line.
Rationale: installing scripts with "#!/usr/bin/env python" is asking for
trouble, because
1) it might pick the wrong interpreter (not the one used to
build/install the script)
2) it doesn't work on all platforms (try it on IRIX 5, or on Linux
with command-line options for python)
3) "env" might not be in /usr/bin

I forgot to mention in the uninstaller checkin that the logfile
name (used for uninstalling) has been changed from
<module>.log to <module>-wininst.log. This should prevent
conflicts with a distutils logfile serving the same purpose.
The short form of the --bdist-dir (-d) option has been removed
because it caused conflicts with the short form of the --dist-dir
option.

This is the patch
http://sourceforge.net/patch/?func=detailpatch&patch_id=103687&group_id=5470
with two changes:
1. No messagebox displayed when the compilation to .pyc or .pyo files
failes, this will only confuse the user (and it will fail under certain
cases, where sys.path contains garbage).
2. A debugging print statement was removed from bdist_wininst.py.

"While attempting to build an RPM using distutils on Python 2.0,

that problem.
by default (since compiling at install time works just fine). Details:
- added 'compile' and 'optimize' options
- added 'byte_compile()' method
- changed 'get_outputs()' so it includes bytecode files
A lot of the code added is very similar to code in install_lib.py;
would be nice to factor it out further.
choice between (compile, no-compile) * (optimize=0, optimize=1,
optimize=2). Details:
- added --no-compile option to complement --compile, which has
been there for ages
- changed --optimize (which never worked) to a value option, which
expects 0, 1, or 2
- renamed 'bytecompile()' method to 'byte_compile()', and beefed
it up to handle both 'compile' and 'optimize' options
- fix '_bytecode_filenames()' to respect the new options
- added 'sub_commands' class attr
- added 'has_*()' predicates referenced by the sub-command list
- rewrote 'run()' so it's a trivial loop over relevant sub-commands
They are unneeded: All this stuff is already done by the
install command which is run by bdist_wininst.
One bug has been fixed:
The root of the fake install tree is install.install_purelib,
not install.install_lib!
They are different if the extra_path option is used in
the setup function.
Rebuild after the changes to wininst.exe.
Removed get_ext_libname() because it is unused.
Fixed get_libraries() to append an '_d' to the python debug
import library. If MSVC is used, do not add 'pythonxx.lib' to
the list of libraries, because this is handled better
by a pragma in config.h.
This should fix bug #115595, but it needs some more testing.
'convert_paths()' method to convert them all to the local syntax (backslash
or colon or whatever) at the appropriate time.
Added SCHEME_KEYS to get rid of one hard-coded list of attributes (in
'select_scheme()').
Default 'install_path_file' to true, and never set it false (it's just
there in case some outsider somewhere wants to disable installation of the
.pth file for whatever reason).
Toned down the warning emitted when 'install_path_file' is false, since we
no longer know why it might be false.
Added 'warn_dir' flag to suppress warning when installing to a directory
not in sys.path (again, we never set this false -- it's there for outsiders
to use, specifically the "bdist_*" commands).
Pulled the loop of 'change_root()' calls out to new method 'change_roots()'.

Takes care of the extra_path argument to the setup function,

distutils/command/bdist_wininst.py:
- the windows installer is again able to compile after installing
the files. Note: The default has changed, the packager has to
give --no-target-compile/--no-target-optimize to NOT compile
on the target system. (Another note: install_lib's --compile
--optimize options have the same semantics to switch off
the compilation. Shouldn't the names change?)
- All references to specific python versions are gone.
- A small bug:
raise DistutilsPlatformError ("...")
instead of
raise DistutilsPlatformError, ("...")
- When bdist_wininst creates an installer for one specific python
version, this is reflected in the name:
Distutils-0.9.2.win32-py15.exe instead of
Distutils-0.9.2.win32.exe
- bdist_wininst, when run as script, reads the wininst.exe file
and rewrites itself. Previously this was done by hand.
misc/install.c
- All the changes needed for compilation
- Deleted a lot of debug/dead code
* ensure the "dist" directory exists
* raise exception if using for modules containing compiled extensions
on a non-win32 platform.
* don't create an .ini file anymore (it was just for debugging)
Changed 'core.setup()' so it sets them to reasonable defaults.
Tweaked how the "usage" string is generated: 'core' now provides
'gen_usage()', which is used instead of 'USAGE'.
Modified "build_py" and "sdist" commands to refer to
'self.distribution.script_name' rather than 'sys.argv[0]'.
The known bug (bogus error message when an empty file is
extracted) is fixed.
Other changes:
- The target-compile and target-optimize flags of bdist_wininst
are gone. It is no longer possible to compile the python
files during installation.
- The zlib module is no longer required or used by bdist_wininst.
- I moved the decompression/extraction code into a separate
file (extract.c).
- The installer stub is now compressed by UPX (see
http://upx.tsx.org/). This reduces the size of the exe
(and thus the overhead of the final installer program)
from 40 kB to 16 kB.
- The installer displays a more uptodate user wizard-like
user interface, also containing a graphic: Just's Python Powered logo.
(I could not convince myself to use one of the BeOpen logos).
- The installation progress bar now moves correctly.
participates in the "--root" hack, ie. it also has a new root directory
hacked on at the very last minute (essential if the .pth file is to be
included in an RPM or other smart installer!).
- 'export_symbol_file' (and corresponding 'def_file' in the old
"build info" dict) are gone; warn if we see 'def_file' in the
dict
- the MSVC "pre-link hack" is gone -- all that stuff is now handled
elsewhere (eg. by using 'export_symbols', etc.)
- add 'get_export_symbols()' and 'get_libraries()' methods -- needed
because on Windows, both of those things are a tad more complicated
than fetching them from the Extension instance
Changed 'prune_file_list()' so it also prunes out RCS and CVS directories.
Added 'is_regex' parameter to 'select_pattern()', 'exclude_pattern()',
and 'translate_pattern()', so that you don't have to be constrained
by the simple shell-glob-like pattern language, and can escape into
full-blown regexes when needed. Currently this is only available
in code -- it's not exposed in the manifest template mini-language.
Added 'prune' option (controlled by --prune and --no-prune) to determine
whether we call 'prune_file_list()' or not -- it's true by default.
Fixed 'negative_opt' -- it was misnamed and not being seen by dist.py.
Added --no-defaults to the option table, so it's seen by FancyGetopt.
to 'msvc_prelink_hack()', adding the parameters that it actually needs,
and only calling it for MSVC compiler objects. Generally gave up on the
idea of a general "hook" mechanism: deleted the empty 'precompile_hook()'.
the "install_data" command to the installation base, which is usually just
sys.prefix. (Any setup scripts out there that specify data files will have
to set the installation directory, relative to the base, explicitly.)
in the module of the command classes that have command-specific
help options. This lets us keep the principle of lazily importing
the ccompiler module, and also gets away from defining non-methods
at class level.
'try_cpp()', 'search_cpp()', and 'check_header()'. This is enough that
the base config is actually useful for implementing a real config
command, specifically one for mxDateTime.
template into a new method 'prune_file_list()', called from
'get_file_list()' rather than 'read_manifest()' -- this keeps
'read_manifest()' more general.
Deleted the redundant call to 'exclude_pattern()' in 'make_distribution()'
-- this had the same intention as 'prune_file_list()', but was incomplete
(only pruned the release tree, not the build tree) and in the wrong
place (the prune wouldn't be reflected in the manifest file).
directly printing to stdout. This was a bit more work than it sounds like
it should have been:
* turned 'select_pattern()' and 'exclude_pattern()' from functions into
methods, so they can refer to 'self' to access the method
* commented out the *other* 'exclude_pattern()' method, which appears
to be vestigial code that was never cleaned up when the
'exclude_pattern()' function was created
* changed the one use of the old 'exclude_pattern()' method to use the
new 'exclude_pattern()' (same behaviour, slightly different args)
* some code and docstring reformatting
* and, of course, changed all the debugging prints to 'debug_print()' calls
Added/tweaked some regular ('self.announce()') output for better runtime
feedback.
values that "--foo" can take for various commands: eg. what formats for
"sdist" and "bdist", what compilers for "build_ext" and "build_clib".
I have *not* reviewed this patch; I'm checking it in as-is because it also
fixes a paper-bag-over-head bug in bdist.py, and because I won't have
time to review it properly for several days: so someone else can
test it for me, instead!
one doesn't *do* anything by default; it's just there as a conduit for data
(eg. include dirs, libraries) from the user to the "build" commands.
However, it provides a couple of Autoconf-ish methods ('try_compile()',
'try_link()', 'try_run()') that derived, per-distribution "config" commands
can use to poke around the target system and see what's available.
Initial experimenst with mxDateTime indicate that higher-level methods are
necessary: analogs of Autoconf's AC_CHECK_HEADER, AC_CHECK_LIB will be
needed too (and that's just to probe the C/C++ system: how to probe the
Python system is wide open, and someday we'll have to worry about probing a
Java system too).
