- the top-level 2.7 docs page now links to the newer doc pages
(installing and distribution) rather than the legacy ones
- the legacy install and distutils pages are now labeled as "legacy"
- the library/distutils page is updated to match the 3.x version
- "See also" links to the new docs are now provided in the legacy pages
- links to setuptools documentation have been updated
(original patch by Susan Sun)
When running external programs such as a C compiler and getting an
error code, distutils only prints the program name. With this change,
one can get the full command line by setting the DISTUTILS_DEBUG
environment variable.
This should have no compatibility issues, unless there are tools
that depend on the exact format of distutils debug messages.
The stdlib docs for package distribution and building extensions
are rather dated, and that isn't expected to change for 2.7 and
3.3.
The Python Packaging User Guide isn't complete either, but it's
already a much better road map for new users than the existing
stdlib docs.
Apart from adding a section to describe the user scheme, this changeset
also does some much needed cleanup:
- fixed inverted reST targets
- fixed some paths
- avoided duplicating the same options listing five or six times
- added missing entries for C headers locations
- added documentation for --install-lib
- fixed a few misuses of the option role (see #9312), but not all (not
worth the time, but will do it in packaging docs)
- fixed some markup
The paths fixes were done with an eye on the source code in the install
command, so they really describe what’s actually done. The situation on
Mac OS X is rather messy: the fix for #8084 touched site and sysconfig,
but distutils does not use these files anymore since the Great Revert.
I suspect we have a mismatched stdlib at the moment, and the fix is not
even clear (see discussion on #8084).
This started out as an easy task, just add a section describing this
alternate scheme, but I found a lot of cleanup to do along the way:
- fixed inverted reST targets
- fixed entries for modules (hi abiflags!) or data files
- avoided duplicating the same options listing five or six times
- added missing entries for C headers locations
- added documentation for --install-lib
- fixed a few misuses of the option role (see #9312), but not all (not
worth the time, but will do it in packaging docs)
