* "--help" can now come either before or after particular commands
to get help on and can give help on multiple commands, eg.
"--help install dist" gives help on those two commands
* added "--help-commands" option, implemented by the 'print_commands()'
and 'print_command_list()' methods
Added 'link_static_lib()' method, and 'archiver' and 'archiver_options'
class attributes to support it.
Added 'link_executable()' method, and 'ld_exec' instance attribute
to support it.
'newer_group()' is now able to handle missing files, so we don't have
to kludge it by catching OSError when calling it.
'object_filenames()' and 'shared_object_filename()' now take 'keep_dir'
flag parameters.
'library_filename()' and 'shared_library_filename()' now respect
a directory component in the library name.
Various comment updates/deletions.
This patch changes the string-based exceptions to class-based
exceptions, so that you can fetch the unknown option as an
attribute. As far as I know, it is backward compatible.
[The new exception class is called GetoptError; the name error is an
alias for compatibility.]
I've changed the login command to force proper
quoting of the password argument. I've also added
some extra debugging code, which is removed when
__debug__ is false.
Added 'nuke_release_tree()' method to blow away the directory from
which the archive file(s) are created, and call it (conditionally)
from 'make_distribution()'.
Added 'keep_tree' option (false by default) to disable the call to
'nuke_release_tree()'.
install) the setup script itself.
Fixed 'build_module()' so we do *not* preserve file mode (which means
we can install read-only files, which makes the next installation
of this distribution fail -- at least under Unix); added a comment
explaining this.
consistency with 'build_ext' command option.
Changed 'compile()' and 'link_shared_object()' so 'include_dirs',
'libraries', and 'library_dirs' can be lists or tuples.
'generate_help()', 'wrap_text()' functions, and a little tiny test
of 'wrap_text()'.
Changed how caller states that one option is the boolean opposite of
another: added 'negative_opt' parameter to 'fancy_getopt()', and changed
to use it instead of parsing long option name.
want no output. Still no option for a happy medium though.
Added "--help" global option.
Changed 'parse_command_line()' to recognize help options (both for the
whole distribution and per-command), and to distinguish "regular run"
and "user asked for help" by returning false in the latter case.
Also in 'parse_command_line()', detect invalid command name on command
line by catching DistutilsModuleError.
a 'negative_opt' class attribute right after 'global_options'; changed
how we call 'fancy_getopt()' accordingly.
Initialize 'maintainer' and 'maintainer_email' attributes to Distribution
to avoid AttributeError when 'author' and 'author_email' not defined.
Initialize 'help' attribute in Command constructor (to avoid
AttributeError when user *doesn't* ask for help).
In 'setup()':
* show usage message before dying when we catch DistutilsArgError
* only run commands if 'parse_command_line()' returned true (that
way, we exit immediately when a help option is found)
* catch KeyboardInterrupt and IOError from running commands
Bulked up usage message to show --help options.
Comment, docstring, and error message tweaks.
Brian E Gallew, which were improved and adapted to OpenSSL 0.9.4 by
Laszlo Kovacs of HP. Both have kindly given permission to include
the patches in the Python distribution. Final formatting by GvR.
Bunch of little bug fixes that appeared in building non-packagized
distributions. Mainly:
- brain-slip typo in 'get_package_dir()'
- don't try to os.path.join() an empty path tuple -- it doesn't like it
- more type-safety in 'build_module()'
remove use of "os" module (bootstrap issues) and go to the underlying
platform-specific modules
fix problem in _compile() (trapped wrong error on permission issues)
add SysPathImporter and BuiltinImporter
put __file__ into modules imported from the filesystem. [backwards compat]
put __path__ into modules [backwards compat]
oops: it is doing this for all modules, not just packages.
comment and tweak to the PackageArchiveImporter
