- '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.
