But really, there's very little reason to use file:// links, anyway. The only thing they do differently from plain paths is that if you use a file:// url to point to an HTML file, easy_install will scan it for links. (It doesn't do that for regular filenames.) So, unless you are using HTML files for your local index, there's no need to use file:// urls with --find-links.

[zc.buildout] test failures on trunk
by Chris Withers Aug. 13, 2008

Aug. 13, 2008

Hi All, I saw lots of failures on Windows, but I guess that's 'cos I need to have a C-compiler, right? Anyway, even on Linux there were still these failures with python 2.4.5: $ bin/test Running zope.testing.testrunner.layer.UnitTests tests: Set up zope.testing.testrunner.layer.UnitTests in 0.000 seconds. zip_safe flag not set; analyzing archive contents... zip_safe flag not set; analyzing archive contents... zip_safe flag not set; analyzing archive contents... zip_safe flag not set; analyzing archive contents... zip_safe flag not set; analyzing archive contents... zip_safe flag not set; analyzing archive contents...

Also, you should not include a trailing '/' or '\' when specifying file paths. If you want to check whether a directory is being processed, increase the verbosity of setuptools output to at least '-vv'; then you should see a series of "Found:" lines appear listing the contents of the target directory.

[buildout] weird behaviour of first buildout on windows...
by Chris Withers Aug. 12, 2008

Aug. 12, 2008

Hi All, Looks like something weird is happening: C:\aproject\trunk>python bootstrap.py <snip> C:\aproject\trunk>bin\buildout.exe Getting distribution for 'zc.buildout'. Getting distribution for 'setuptools'. Got setuptools 0.6c8. Got zc.buildout 1.1.1. C:\aproject\trunk>Upgraded: zc.buildout version 1.1.1, setuptools version 0.6c8; restarting. At this point here, it looks like buildout is running in some kind of backgrounded process, which means that: - if I hit enter while it's still progressing, I get things like: """ Getting distribution for 'zope.testing'. C:\aproject\trunk> C:\aproject\trunk> C:\aproject\trunk>Got zope.testing 3.6.0. bin\ bin\buildout.exeGetting distribution for 'zope.interface' . Got zope.interfa """ - I don't know when buildout is finished because the command prompt was echoed way back in the middle of things. NB: This only appears to happen the first time setuptools and buildout are installed. Further run of bin\buildout don't exhibit this behaviour. cheers, Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Zope & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk

[buildout] where does the demo egg come from in tests?
by Chris Withers Aug. 12, 2008

Aug. 12, 2008

Hi All, I'm reading http://pypi.python.org/pypi/zc.recipe.egg#script-generation with a hope to finding out how to write an egg such that I can have mroe own scripts generated and called. I think having a read of the demo egg used in these tests would solve my problems, but where does it live? cheers, Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Zope & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk

I've heard of people using network folders; I'm not sure I've personally tried a UNC path. Keep in mind that command-line quoting/escaping can foul up your backslashes, though, so I would suggest trying using '/' in place of '\' in your command line. That is, '//server/share' instead of '\\server\share'. >-----Original Message----- >From: Phillip J.

Re: [Distutils] specify available build commands
by chris Aug. 12, 2008

Aug. 12, 2008

>> >> Specifically, I want to be able to add a configuration and build some >> classes only if one of these commands is specified. > > what are you trying to do precisely ? >> In a setup.py, there's a method that builds some classes and puts them in a zip file. Then there's a line config.add_data_files(this_method) The method doesn't need to be called when only a source distribution is being created. I was hoping there might be a way to switch this config line off if there's no need for it, or maybe only switch it on when it is needed (something beyond using sys.argv).

setuptools tracker "needpatch" keyword, tests, etc.
by Phillip J. Eby Aug. 12, 2008

Aug. 12, 2008

Hello all. I had some spare time the other day and went through the tracker, reclassifying a few things and marking some with a "needpatch" keyword. The ones marked "needpatch" vary from things I have no idea what to do with, to ones where I've practically spelled out the needed patch in the tracker. Issues with patches that passed my initial review have been marked "in-progress"; these could use some testing before check-in. At this point, I haven't had an opportunity to review the results of the test sprint that was done; if somebody could throw that up as a patch on the tracker, or at least repost a link to where I can find that stuff, that would help. All of this is with an eye to releasing an 0.6 final in the near future; sometime this month I'd guess/hope, depending on how my other projects are going.
