Hello here's a detailed proposal for the setup.cfg format. I've included all remarks, and tried to make the syntax as simple as possible. I've dropped the long_description stuff and the template language stuff. (people can do it as a post-release process) A/ Config file structure: """ [setup] foo: bar conditional-sections: one, two [one] condition: test [two] condition: test """ 2/ Execution environment: python_version = '%s.%s' % (sys.version_info[0], sys.version_info[1]) os_name = os.name platform = sys.platform uname = os.uname() python_version_info = sys.version_info 3/ Grammar: comp_op: '<'|'>'|'=='|'>='|'<='|'<>'|'!='|'in'|'not' 'in'|'is'|'is' 'not' comparison: expr (comp_op expr)* expr: 'python_version'|'python_version_info'|'os_name'|'uname'|'platform'|STRING test: or_test or_test: and_test ('or' and_test)* and_test: not_test ('and' not_test)* not_test: 'not' not_test | comparison 4/ Process distutils will interpret [setup] and act upon, to fill the Distribution object and its metadata attribute object. It will look only for Metadata fields and ignores the others. In case an option is passed in setup.py, it overrides the one in setup.cfg. Let me know if it's good enough. I won't write a PEP for this change, and I will just push it for information at python-dev as soon as I get enough +1 :) Regards Tarek -- Tarek Ziadé | http://ziade.org | オープンソースの岩！

Installing stdeb on vanilla Ubuntu

by Olof Bjarnason

Hi distutils! So I'm quite sure stdeb is the tool for "py2deb" I'm looking for. What are the "correct" steps of installing this tool, assuming Ubuntu9.04. I guess I need this: 1. Python (check) 2. distutils (check) 3. setuptools (dunno? how do I install?) 4. stdeb (how do I install correctly?) As all of you know by now, I'm fairly new to distutils, PyPI, eggs, cheesecake, setuptools and stdeb. It's a whole new universe! :) -- twitter.com/olofb olofb.wordpress.com olofb.wordpress.com/tag/english

SIP/PyQt and distutils

by Jeremy Sanders

Hi - I feel like I'm in maze of twisty passages trying to get my SIP/PyQt extension to play nicely with distutils. Most of the package is pure Python, but I have one standard C extension and a new SIP one I have added to the project. I need to be able to compile C++ files with the compiler and all its arguments specified for the SIP extension. Is there any way to do this with distutils? I've gone through the sourcecode and can't see an obvious way to do this without hacking it completely. distutils compiles C++ files with gcc (not g++) and uses invalid compiler arguments on this Ubuntu system. Alternatively, SIP makes a nice Makefile which works. Can I run make as part of the build process and add the object file to distutils list of files to be installed? Are there any better options than distutils? Jeremy -- jeremy(a)jeremysanders.net http://www.jeremysanders.net/

Distributing Python-programs to Ubuntu users

by Olof Bjarnason

Hi! I'm new at the mailing list. I write small games in Python/PyGame. I want to find a way to make a downloadable package/installer/script to put on my webpage, especially for Ubuntu users. I've skimmed a couple of tutorials on how to generate .deb-files, but, wow, it's a whole new skill set to do that! Does anyone have any hint on a more economic way of creating single-file distribution packages for Python+PyGame projects? Maybe some GUI-tool that automates the .deb file creation process, but targetting Python specifically and not C++. I've looked at Ubuntu's PPA system, didn't find it end-user-friendly enough. Also, the Quickly project was too invasive on the way I like to develop software (it took over the bzr/lp tools; I want to control that). /Olof

Last call for distribute 0.6.2

by Alex Grönholm

We are now ready to release 0.6.2. If you feel that there is a critical bug we should fix before this, this is your last chance. Python 2.3 compatibility was restored in the latest changeset, so feel free to test that too.

Distribute 0.6.2 - testing the release - help needed!

by Tarek Ziadé

Hello, The next Distribute version will be released soon, with python 3 support (thanks to Martin, Lennart, and Alex !) and more bug fixed. (you can follow that in the issue tracker) If you want to give a hand on testing the next Distribute version, I've uploaded a dev version of the trunk of Distribute at nightly.ziade.org, meaning that you can try the upcoming release (at your own risks ;) ) - the tarball : http://nightly.ziade.org/distribute-0.6.2dev.tar.gz - a modified distribute_setup.py script that will install the dev version : http://nightly.ziade.org/distribute_setup_dev.py - a modified bootstrap.py file that will let you bootstrap a zc.buildout environment with this version Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, Regards, Tarek -- Tarek Ziadé | http://ziade.org | オープンソースはすごい!

[buildout] unzip = true doesn't

by Chris Withers

Hi All, I had a buildout.cfg which I changed to start: [buildout] unzip=true Re-running the buildout doesn't appear to make sure existing eggs that have been downloaded are unzipped. Is that to be expected? cheers, Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Batch Processing & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk

Re: [Distutils] [Python-Dev] Distutils ML wrap-up: setup.cfg new format

I'm still not convinced of allowing this between strings as it will likely lead to mistakes when comparing "versions". I'm still tempted by making "python_version" a RationalVersion() so that you can use '<', '>', '<=' and '>=' safely, not really convinced of writing something like: [setup:python_version == '2.2' or python_version == '2.3' or python_version == '2.4'] (Can you even split section headers over multiple lines in ini-files?) As an asside, python 3 is dropping '<>' so maybe it would be easier/less confusing to just not include it here?

At least easy_install does not have the --user option added, which is necessary for this to work.
