have fork and execv (and friends) but not spawnv. They operate
exactly like the spawn functions on Windows. A limited set of needed
constants is also defined (P_WAIT, P_NOWAIT etc.).
Also add getenv() as a familiar alias for environ.get().
Now supports the full range of intended formats (tar, ztar, gztar, zip).
"-f" no longer a short option for "--formats" -- conflicts with new
global option "--force"!
At import time, getpass will be bound to the appropriate
platform-specific function. If the platform's echo-disabler is not
available, default_getpass, which prints the warning, will be used
I found the following patch helpful in tracking down a bug in some
code. I had appended time, the module, instead of time.time(). Not
sure if it is generally true that printing the repr of the object is
good, but I expect that most unpicklable things will have fairly
information and concise reprs (like files or sockets or modules).
Withdraw the change that Fred just checked in -- it was a poorly
documented feature, not a bug, to ignore I/O errors in read().
The new docstring explains the reason for the feature:
"""
this is designed so that you can specifiy a list of potential
configuration file locations (e.g. current directory, user's home
directory, systemwide directory), and all existing configuration files
in the list will be read.
"""
Also add a lower-level function, readfp(), which takes an open file
object (and optionally a filename).
XXX There are some other problems with this module, but I don't have
time to dig into these; in particular, there are complaints that the
%(name)s substitution from the [DEFAULTS] section doesn't work
correctly.
global options table.
Every Command instance now has its own copies of the global options,
which automatically fallback to the Distribution instance. Changes:
- initialize them in constructor
- added '__getattr__()' to handle the fallback logic
- changed every 'self.distribution.{verbose,dry_run}' in Command to
'self.{verbose,dry_run}'.
- filesystem utility methods ('copy_file()' et al) don't take 'update'
parameter anymore -- instead we pass 'not force' to the underlying
function as 'update'
Changed parsing of command line so that global options apply to all
commands as well -- that's how (eg.) Command.verbose will be initialized.
Simplified 'make_file()' to use 'newer_group()' (from util module).
Deleted some cruft.
Some docstring tweaks.
the code a bit and should make it work under Windows even with trailing
backslash.
Fixed a couple of docstrings.
Added comment about 'make_file()' possibly being redundant and unnecessary.
- change how we call it
- added methods 'library_dir_option()', 'library_option()', and
'find_library_file()' that it calls
Added 'force' flag; it's automatically "respected", because this class
always rebuilds everything! (Which it to say, "force=0" is not respected.)
Catch up with changes in 'gen_lib_options()':
- change how we call it
- added methods 'library_dir_option()', 'library_option()', and
'find_library_file()' that it calls
Added 'force' flag and changed compile/link methods to respect it.
has a directory component, then we only search for the library in
that one directory, ie. ignore the 'library_dirs' lists for that
one library.
Changed calling convention to 'gen_lib_options()' again: now, it takes
a CCompiler instance and calls methods on it instead of taking
format strings. Also implemented the new "library name" semantics
using the 'find_library_file()' method in the CCompiler instance.
Added 'force' flag to CCompiler; added to constructor and 'new_compiler()'.
Added 'warn()' method.
Catch up with renamed 'platdir' -> 'build_platlib' option in 'build'.
Don't call 'set_final_options()' in 'run()' anymore -- that's now
guaranteed to be taken care of for us by the Distribution instance.
If 'include_dirs' is a string, split it on os.pathsep (this is half-
hearted -- support for setting compile/link options on the command
line is totally lame and probably won't work at all).
Added 'get_source_files()' for use by 'dist' command.
Added code to 'build_extensions()' to figure out the "def file" to use
with MSVC++ and add it to the linker command line as an "extra_postarg".
Don't call 'set_final_options()' in 'run()' anymore -- that's now
guaranteed to be taken care of for us by the Distribution instance.
Rearranged to bit to allow outsiders (specifically, the 'dist' command)
to find out what modules we would build:
- 'find_modules()' renamed to 'find_package_modules()'
- most of 'build_modules()' abstracted out to 'find_modules()'
- added 'get_source_files()' (for the 'dist' command to use)
- drastically simplified 'build_modules()' -- now just a wrapper around
'find_modules()' and 'build_module()'
Tweaked some help strings to be consistent with documentation.
Don't call 'set_final_options()' in 'run()' anymore -- that's now
guaranteed to be taken care of for us by the Distribution instance.
- add 'extra_preargs' and 'extra_postargs' parameters (and use them!)
- got rid of 'build_info' kludge parameter
- added 'compiler_type' class attribute
- respect reordered arguments to 'gen_lib_options()'
Also added 'output_dir' parameter (catching up with older change in
CCompiler) -- BUT this is presently ignored by all methods!
Deleted some more docstrings redundant with CCompiler.
Dropped generated of "/DEF:" argument --- that's now done by
the 'build_ext' command.
- add 'extra_preargs' and 'extra_postargs' parameters (and use them!)
- added 'compiler_type' class attribute
- respect reordered arguments to 'gen_lib_options()'
which allowed us to get rid of the 'build_info' used in some places
(a temporary kludge to support MSVC++ "def" files).
Deleted big comment whining about that kludge.
Added 'compiler_type' class attribute.
Overhauled 'new_compiler()': now takes 'compiler' argument along with
'plat' (both optional with sensible defaults), and looks them both up
in the new 'default_compiler' and 'compiler_class' dictionaries to
figure out where to get the concrete compiler class from.
Reordered arguments to 'gen_lib_options()' to match the order in
which the arguments are generated (ie. -L before -l).
