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]'.
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.
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.
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!
* Command method 'find_peer()' -> 'get_finalized_command()'
* Command method 'run_peer()' -> 'run_command()'
Also deleted the 'get_command_option()' method from Command, and
fixed the one place where it was used (in "bdist_dumb").
directories after all is said and done, so we don't accidentally include
those files in the source distribution.
(This is the quick and easy way to fix this; Andrew says: "Changing
findall() looked like it was going to be messy, so I tried this instead.
The only problem is that redundant directory traversals are being done,
walking through build/ only to throw out all the files found at the end.").
Adds bztar format to generate .tar.bz2 tarballs
Uses the -f argument to overright old tarballs automatically, I am
assuming that if the old tarball was wanted it would have been moved or
else the version number would have been changed.
Uses the -9 argument to bzip2 and gzip to use maximum
compression. Compress uses the maximum compression by default.
Tests for correct value for the 'compress' argument of make_tarball. This
is one less place for someone adding new compression programs to forget to
change.
Added code to include source files from 'build_clib' command to default file
list -- currently this won't work, since 'build_clib' doesn't have a
'get_source_files()' method!
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
old 'dist' command, but the code for dealing with manifests is completely
redone -- and renaming the command to 'sdist' is more symmetric with the
soon-to-exist 'bdist' command.
