I'd prefer to do it in a way that doesn't copy code, i.e., by having __getattr__ return something that makes the distutils-level behavior the same as before, but not by copying the old distutils code. That having been said, this might be a good patch to go in the meantime. I am thinking, btw, that it's time to retire the 0.6 stable branch and begin only doing new stuff on the trunk, anyway.

[issue75] [PATCH]
by James June 1, 2009

June 1, 2009

New submission from James <purpleidea(a)gmail.com>: Hi, I wrote a patch to improve distutils. I'm a bit new to the whole distutils vs. setuptools, but in any case i've decided to submit it here as well. I'm not sure if distutils is accepting it, but whether they do or not, i'll assume it's source compatible, and perhaps you'd like to use it too. Attached is the patch, and the original clean.py file from distutils (that i've modified) Link to distutils bug report: http://bugs.python.org/issue6142? ---------- files: distutils-clean.py messages: 297 nosy: purpleidea priority: feature status: unread title: [PATCH] Added file: http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/file56/distutils-clean.py _______________________________________________ Setuptools tracker <setuptools(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/issue75> _______________________________________________

Patch for your setuptools issue
by Tarek Ziadé June 1, 2009

Antoine, here's a patch for your issue. It backports distutils old behaviour into setuptools so the latter continues to work with Python trunk. Let me know if you want me to create a distribution for your conveniency Cheers Tarek -- Tarek Ziadé | http://ziade.org

Re: [Distutils] Mutual recursion between setuptools and distutils with Python 2.7

I also don't see why it wouldn't be easier to fix on the distutils side, since it's the distutils that changed to create the problem in the first place.

This would be a reasonable attitude. Note that I've previously blessed Jim Fulton, although I suspect that he doesn't fall in the "have time to spend on it" category. To date, he's the only person who's shown a really deep understanding of the codebase and requirements, although Ian Bicking would probably be a close second. This is not to say that there isn't anyone else who fits those criteria, just that I haven't had a chance to see that understanding in action. For example, Philip Jenvey has produced some good patches, but they've all been specific to Jython issues so it's hard to tell how broad his understanding is.

Mutual recursion between setuptools and distutils with Python 2.7
by Antoine Pitrou June 1, 2009

June 1, 2009

Hello, I'm not sure where to post this (distutils or setuptools bug?), so I'm trying here first. Using the CPython trunk, there's an infinite recursion due to a mutual recursion between setuptools and distutils. Here is a snippet of a traceback (trimmed for obvious reasons): $ usr/bin/easy_install -Z -i http://www.turbogears.org/2.0/downloads/current/index tg.devtools Searching for tg.devtools Reading

Python svn builds
by A. Cavallo June 1, 2009

June 1, 2009

Hi all, I've just published few python rpms for the trunk source. You can download and install the packages from (either by hand or using yum/yast): http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/cavallo71:/opt-python- interpreters/ The interpreters will install under so it will leave the system python untouched: /opt/opt-python-svnXXXXX-2.7a0 XXXXX is the svn revision. Once installed you can use them just sourcing the file: $> . /opt/opt-python-svnXXXXX-2.7a0/opt-python-svnXXXXX-env.sh $> python Python 2.7a0 (trunk, May 24 2009, 21:18:39) [GCC 4.3.2 [gcc-4_3-branch revision 141291]] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. There is a web page containing the build results (including a small simple smoke test): http://pyvm.sourceforge.net/ Module developer can use these build to test against the more up to date python source and anticipating bugs. Developer can use it to run regression/integration tests. I hope that will help, Regards, Antonio
