Setup configuration file and multiple libraries for extensions modules
by Sylvain Fourmanoit 20 May '05

20 May '05

Hi, suppose you have a setup.cfg file along your setup.py script, and that you want to use it to specify multiple external C libraries to link extensions modules against. Something like: [build_ext] libraries=first_lib second_lib ... On Python 2.4.1, you read from distutils.command.build_ext.build_ext.finalize_options() on line 149-150 from the build_ext.py file: if type(self.libraries) is StringType: self.libraries = [self.libraries] Doesn't it mishandle this case, of did I miss the point? It appears to me that something similar to: if type(self.libraries) is StringType: self.libraries = string.split(self.libraries) would be the correct way to handle this (in fact, similar string splits already take place for include_dirs and library_dirs)... I just want to know how you are supposed to specify more than one library in a configuration file with current implementation. :-) Thanks, -- Sylvain <syfou(a)users.sourceforge.net>

This is version 1.94.5 of Majordomo. If you're familiar with mail servers, an advanced user's summary of Majordomo's commands appears at the end of this message. Majordomo is an automated system which allows users to subscribe and unsubscribe to mailing lists, and to retrieve files from list archives. You can interact with the Majordomo software by sending it commands in the body of mail messages addressed to "Majordomo(a)iti.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de". Please do not put your commands on the subject line; Majordomo does not process commands in the subject line. You may put multiple Majordomo commands in the same mail message. Put each command on a line by itself. If you use a "signature block" at the end of your mail, Majordomo may mistakenly believe each line of your message is a command; you will then receive spurious error messages. To keep this from happening, either put a line starting with a hyphen ("-") before your signature, or put a line with just the word end on it in the same place. This will stop the Majordomo software from processing your signature as bad commands. Here are some of the things you can do using Majordomo: I. FINDING OUT WHICH LISTS ARE ON THIS SYSTEM To get a list of publicly-available mailing lists on this system, put the following line in the body of your mail message to Majordomo(a)iti.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de: lists Each line will contain the name of a mailing list and a brief description of the list. To get more information about a particular list, use the "info" command, supplying the name of the list. For example, if the name of the list about which you wish information is "demo-list", you would put the line info demo-list in the body of the mail message. II. SUBSCRIBING TO A LIST Once you've determined that you wish to subscribe to one or more lists on this system, you can send commands to Majordomo to have it add you to the list, so you can begin receiving mailings. To receive list mail at the address from which you're sending your mail, simply say "subscribe" followed by the list's name: subscribe demo-list If for some reason you wish to have the mailings go to a different address (a friend's address, a specific other system on which you have an account, or an address which is more correct than the one that automatically appears in the "From:" header on the mail you send), you would add that address to the command. For instance, if you're sending a request from your work account, but wish to receive "demo-list" mail at your personal account (for which we will use "jqpublic(a)my-isp.com" as an example), you'd put the line subscribe demo-list jqpublic(a)my-isp.com in the mail message body. Based on configuration decisions made by the list owners, you may be added to the mailing list automatically. You may also receive notification that an authorization key is required for subscription. Another message will be sent to the address to be subscribed (which may or may not be the same as yours) containing the key, and directing the user to send a command found in that message back to Majordomo(a)iti.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de. (This can be a bit of extra hassle, but it helps keep you from being swamped in extra email by someone who forged requests from your address.) You may also get a message that your subscription is being forwarded to the list owner for approval; some lists have waiting lists, or policies about who may subscribe. If your request is forwarded for approval, the list owner should contact you soon after your request. Upon subscribing, you should receive an introductory message, containing list policies and features. Save this message for future reference; it will also contain exact directions for unsubscribing. If you lose the intro mail and would like another copy of the policies, send this message to Majordomo(a)iti.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de: intro demo-list (substituting, of course, the real name of your list for "demo-list"). III. UNSUBSCRIBING FROM MAILING LISTS Your original intro message contains the exact command which should be used to remove your address from the list. However, in most cases, you may simply send the command "unsubscribe" followed by the list name: unsubscribe demo-list (This command may fail if your provider has changed the way your address is shown in your mail.) To remove an address other than the one from which you're sending the request, give that address in the command: unsubscribe demo-list jqpublic(a)my-isp.com In either of these cases, you can tell Majordomo(a)iti.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de to remove the address in question from all lists on this server by using "*" in place of the list name: unsubscribe * unsubscribe * jqpublic(a)my-isp.com IV. FINDING THE LISTS TO WHICH AN ADDRESS IS SUBSCRIBED To find the lists to which your address is subscribed, send this command in the body of a mail message to Majordomo(a)iti.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de: which You can look for other addresses, or parts of an address, by specifying the text for which Majordomo should search. For instance, to find which users at my-isp.com are subscribed to which lists, you might send the command which my-isp.com Note that many list owners completely or fully disable the "which" command, considering it a privacy violation. V. FINDING OUT WHO'S SUBSCRIBED TO A LIST To get a list of the addresses on a particular list, you may use the "who" command, followed by the name of the list: who demo-list Note that many list owners allow only a list's subscribers to use the "who" command, or disable it completely, believing it to be a privacy violation. VI. RETRIEVING FILES FROM A LIST'S ARCHIVES Many list owners keep archives of files associated with a list. These may include: - back issues of the list - help files, user profiles, and other documents associated with the list - daily, monthly, or yearly archives for the list To find out if a list has any files associated with it, use the "index" command: index demo-list If you see files in which you're interested, you may retrieve them by using the "get" command and specifying the list name and archive filename. For instance, to retrieve the files called "profile.form" (presumably a form to fill out with your profile) and "demo-list.9611" (presumably the messages posted to the list in November 1996), you would put the lines get demo-list profile.form get demo-list demo-list.9611 in your mail to Majordomo(a)iti.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de. VII. GETTING MORE HELP To contact a human site manager, send mail to Majordomo-Owner(a)iti.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de. To contact the owner of a specific list, send mail to that list's approval address, which is formed by adding "-approval" to the user-name portion of the list's address. For instance, to contact the list owner for demo-list(a)iti.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de, you would send mail to demo-list-approval(a)iti.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de. To get another copy of this help message, send mail to Majordomo(a)iti.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de with a line saying help in the message body. VIII. COMMAND SUMMARY FOR ADVANCED USERS In the description below items contained in []'s are optional. When providing the item, do not include the []'s around it. Items in angle brackets, such as <address>, are meta-symbols that should be replaced by appropriate text without the angle brackets. It understands the following commands: subscribe [<list>] [<address>] Subscribe yourself (or <address> if specified) to the named <list>. unsubscribe [<list>] [<address>] Unsubscribe yourself (or <address> if specified) from the named <list>. "unsubscribe *" will remove you (or <address>) from all lists. This _may not_ work if you have subscribed using multiple addresses. get [<list>] <filename> Get a file related to <list>. index [<list>] Return an index of files you can "get" for <list>. which [<address>] Find out which lists you (or <address> if specified) are on. who [<list>] Find out who is on the named <list>. info [<list>] Retrieve the general introductory information for the named <list>. intro [<list>] Retrieve the introductory message sent to new users. Non-subscribers may not be able to retrieve this. lists Show the lists served by this Majordomo server. help Retrieve this message. end Stop processing commands (useful if your mailer adds a signature). Commands should be sent in the body of an email message to "Majordomo(a)iti.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de" or to "<list>-request(a)iti.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de". The <list> parameter is only optional if the message is sent to an address of the form "<list>-request(a)iti.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de". Multiple commands can be processed provided each occurs on a separate line. Commands in the "Subject:" line are NOT processed. If you have any questions or problems, please contact "Majordomo-Owner(a)iti.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de".

Dist utils library problem?
by Glenn Pierce 17 May '05

17 May '05

Sorry if this is not the correct mailing list. I have a question about writing a portable setup.py script for distutils. I have a directory structure like this. FreeImage/ |-------Source/ | |------ FreeImage.h | |-------Dist/ | |------libfreeimage-3.7.0.so | |------libfreeimage.a | |------FreeImage.lib | |------FreeImage.dll | |-------Wrapper/ |---------Python/ |----------build/ |----------freeimagemodule.c |----------setup.py I am wrapper a c++ library and have the library files for linux and windows installed under Dist/. I want to create a setup file that works on both unix and Windows but I am having trouble with windows. My setup.py file is like the following: from distutils.core import setup, Extension ext_module = Extension('freeimagewrapper', define_macros = [('MAJOR_VERSION', '3'), ('MINOR_VERSION', '7')], include_dirs = ['../../Source/'], library_dirs=['../../Dist/'], libraries = ['FreeImage'], sources = ['freeimagemodule.c']) setup (name = 'freeimage', version = '1.0', author = 'Glenn Pierce', description = 'Python wrapper for the freeimage library', ext_modules = [ext_module]) I am getting link errors. Visual studio can find ../../Dist/FreeImage.lib but I don't think it can find FreeImage.dll The errors are like: Creating library build\temp.win32-2.4\Release\freeimagewrapper.lib and object build\temp.win32-2.4\Release\freeimagewrapper.exp freeimagemodule.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _FreeImage_Unload referenced in function _destroy Where should I be placing the FreeImage.dll file ? I have read the distutils guide but wasn't clear on the library section for ext modules. Thanks for any help. Glenn

Distutils, SWIG, and C++
by Ben Wagner 16 May '05

16 May '05

I just downloaded the latest Distutils and am running Python24 on WindowsXP Pro and using MSVC Pro 2003. I'm developing a Python extention (.pyd) and want to use Distutils to manage the install process. After reading much documentation and code I have gotten everything to build and run manually, but am having difficulty with the setup configuration. What it boils down to is I have a Swig (.i) which is written in C++, mostly since it includes PythonCOM.h. Here is a slightly simplified version of my setup.py <code> #docs left out from distutils.core import setup, Extension import os #using these two lines on my machine works to compile properly #"C:\Program Files\SWIG-1.3.24\swig.exe" -python -c++ -o mouse_wrap.cpp mouse_client.i #"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\bin\cl.exe" /c /nologo /Ox /MD /W3 /GX /DNDEBUG -IC:\Python24\include -IC:\Python24\PC -IC:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\win32\include -IC:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\win32com\include /Tpmouse_wrap.cpp /Fobuild\mouse_wrap.obj from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_lib win32Incdir = os.path.join(get_python_lib(plat_specific=1), 'win32\include') win32comIncdir = os.path.join(get_python_lib(plat_specific=1), 'win32com\include') pythoncomLib = os.path.join(get_python_lib(plat_specific=1), 'win32com\libs\pythoncom') wintypesLib = os.path.join(get_python_lib(plat_specific=1), 'win32\libs\pywintypes') libs = ['user32', 'ole32', pythoncomLib, wintypesLib] includes = [win32Incdir, win32comIncdir] macros = [('NDEBUG', '1')] compilerArgs = [] lang = 'c++' swigOpts = ['-c++'] setup(name='pyCOMHook', #standard setup stuff left out ext_modules = [Extension('pyCOMHook._mouse', ['mouse.i'], libraries=libs, include_dirs=includes, define_macros=macros, extra_compile_args=compilerArgs, language=lang, swig_opts=swigOpts)], ) </code> This succesfuly puts '-c++' on the swig command line, but the output file (for Swig) is still .c (and not .cpp). After looking through the Distutils code I realized two things 1. build_ext.py [line 525, in swig_sources (self, sources, extension)] I think needs to be changed from if self.swig_cpp or ('-c++' in self.swig_opts): to if self.swig_cpp or ('-c++' in self.swig_opts) or ('-c++' in extension.swig_opts): or something like that. Doing this fixed my whole problem and everything ran fine. 2. even without the above fix, this still should have worked, even with the .c extention, but the msvccompiler.py compiler currently ignores the language setting and only uses file extentions to determine /Tc or /Tp flags So my question is this, is it currently impossible to Swig a .i written in c++ on Windows using msvc and a bug fix is needed, or is there some nifty way around this which I have not yet been clever enough to ferret out? I would appreciate if anyone more familiar with the Distutils code could take a look into this. -- _______________________________________________ NEW! Lycos Dating Search.

Martin Taylor", author_email="cmtaylor(a)ti.com" ) When I run this setup.py to build a "bdist" I get the following output: C:\FOO>python setup.py bdist --format=zip running bdist running bdist_dumb running build running build_py package init file 'Bar\__init__.py' not found (or not a regular file) package init file 'Bar\__init__.py' not found (or not a regular file) installing to build\bdist.win32\dumb running install running install_lib creating build\bdist.win32\dumb creating build\bdist.win32\dumb\Python24 creating build\bdist.win32\dumb\Python24\Lib creating build\bdist.win32\dumb\Python24\Lib\site-packages copying build\lib\BarConstants.py -> build\bdist.win32\dumb\Python24\Lib\site-packages creating build\bdist.win32\dumb\Python24\Lib\site-packages\Bar copying build\lib\Bar\BarConstants.py -> build\bdist.win32\dumb\Python24\Lib\site-packages\Bar copying build\lib\Bar\Bar.py -> build\bdist.win32\dumb\Python24\Lib\site-packages\Bar copying build\lib\Bar.py -> build\bdist.win32\dumb\Python24\Lib\site-packages creating build\bdist.win32\dumb\Python24\Lib\site-packages\FOO creating build\bdist.win32\dumb\Python24\Lib\site-packages\FOO\Bar copying build\lib\FOO\Bar\BarConstants.py -> build\bdist.win32\dumb\Python24\Lib\site-packages\FOO\Bar copying build\lib\FOO\Bar\Bar.py -> build\bdist.win32\dumb\Python24\Lib\site-packages\FOO\Bar byte-compiling build\bdist.win32\dumb\Python24\Lib\site-packages\BarConstants.py to BarConstants.pyc byte-compiling build\bdist.win32\dumb\Python24\Lib\site-packages\Bar\GUIConstants.py to BarConstants.pyc byte-compiling build\bdist.win32\dumb\Python24\Lib\site-packages\Bar\Bar.py to Bar.pyc byte-compiling build\bdist.win32\dumb\Python24\Lib\site-packages\Bar.py to GUITest.pyc byte-compiling build\bdist.win32\dumb\Python24\Lib\site-packages\FOO\Bar\BarConstants.p y to BarConstants.pyc byte-compiling build\bdist.win32\dumb\Python24\Lib\site-packages\FOO\Bar\Bar.py to Bar.pyc creating 'C:\FOO\dist\FOO-4.2.3.win32.zip' and adding '.' to it adding 'Python24\Lib\site-packages\BarConstants.py' adding 'Python24\Lib\site-packages\BarConstants.pyc' adding 'Python24\Lib\site-packages\Bar.py' adding 'Python24\Lib\site-packages\Bar.pyc' adding 'Python24\Lib\site-packages\Bar\BarConstants.py' adding 'Python24\Lib\site-packages\Bar\BarConstants.pyc' adding 'Python24\Lib\site-packages\Bar\Bar.py' adding 'Python24\Lib\site-packages\Bar\Bar.pyc' adding 'Python24\Lib\site-packages\FOO\Bar\BarConstants.py' adding 'Python24\Lib\site-packages\FOO\Bar\BarConstants.pyc' adding 'Python24\Lib\site-packages\FOO\Bar\Bar.py' adding 'Python24\Lib\site-packages\FOO\Bar\Bar.pyc' removing 'build\bdist.win32\dumb' (and everything under it) My question is why am I getting 3 copies of the 2 Python files I'm trying to distribute, one copy in \Python24\Lib\site-packages\, one in \Python24\Lib\site-packages\Bar\ and one in \Python24\Lib\site-packages\FOO\Bar\? The only copy I want is the last one! This is my first attempt at using Distutils so any help and explanations would be appreciated. (I really don't want to make FOO.Bar into a "real" Python package with an __init__.py module, so please don't suggest that.) Thank you, Martin Taylor
