[issue109] [PATCH] wrap console script into __main__ block
by techtonik May 8, 2010

May 8, 2010

New submission from techtonik <techtonik(a)gmail.com>: I would like to propose this wrapping sys.exit() calls in generated console scripts into __main__ block. This will prevent programs that inspect available modules using 'import' from exiting prematurely. See http://bitten.edgewall.org/ticket/583 Patch attached. ---------- files: wrap.scripts.into.main.diff messages: 518 nosy: techtonik priority: bug status: unread title: [PATCH] wrap console script into __main__ block Added file: http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/file68/wrap.scripts.into.main.diff _______________________________________________ Setuptools tracker <setuptools(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/issue109> _______________________________________________

developing & managing multiple packages with dependencies
by Brad Allen May 8, 2010

May 8, 2010

Hello, I'm looking for case studies or other examples of management of a development/test/build/QA/release process involving lots of Python packages with dependencies. At work currently, we use Hudson for running our tests, and are using it to produce eggs, sdists, and PIP requirements files. It's shaping up to be a nice way to build our packages, but it's about to get a lot bigger with a lot more packages and complex dependencies. We're working on defining processes for our developers and testers, and we're inventing as we go. I have a good idea where we need to go with this, but our management wants to hear how others in the community handle this kind of challenge with releasing multiple dependent packages together, especially in light of workflows made possible by DVCS. (We're using Git) Does anyone have any stories to tell on this front?

Yep. The issue isn't with installation-time dependencies, it's build-time dependencies -- that's why I was confused. There was a change to how build-time dependencies are handled, specifically intended to fix a different issue with Paste, PasteScript, and PasteDeploy's dependencies on each other. My guess is that if you put eggs for those three packages in your third-party directory, the problem (or at least the problem with those three) would go away. However, I'll see if there's a way for "child" easy_install runs (as used for build-time dependencies) to inherit the parent's settings for things like --find-links, --index-url, and --allow-hosts (but not options that would interfere with the child install's options.

So, I'm a little confused as to what scenario you're actually trying to fix. The next thing I would do is verify that the config file is actually being read, by setting the DISTUTILS_DEBUG environment variable to "yes", and then running "easy_install -v ." and observing the output. >Like I mentioned, I do have a workaround in place that is working for >me. I post it here in case it may help others: Please don't do that, and *nobody else should do it either*. You are going to ERASE people's personal distutils configuration files with that code! (You're not even checking to see if it exists first!) I would be *extremely* upset if I tried to install your package and it erased one of my .pydistutils.cfg files, with all their command aliases, wikiup configs, path customizations, etc. (Of course, when run under easy_install control, the sandbox should catch your setup script's antics and terminate it with an error without harming any files, but still... it's pure evil and the sort of thing that should NEVER, ever be done in a setup.py, on pain of banishment from PyPI.)

Distutils 1.0a1 released
by Tarek Ziadé May 7, 2010

May 7, 2010

Hello, I've cut a release of Distutils2 (that was planned for May 1st). This release can't be used in production, is under-documented, but has cool isolated features that can be already used in your projects: - features added during the last year, like the "check" command - a find_packages() function. extracted from setuptools but that can take several root paths. - a metadata reader/writer compatible with all metadata flavors (1.0, 1.1, 1.2) - see http://packages.python.org/Distutils2/metadata.html - a version module that implements PEP 376 - no doc yet ;) Also, we have implemented PEP 345 on PyPI side. You can see for example the project urls in a box on the right side of the page. Release schedule: 1.0a2 - 2010-05-28 (Python 2.7rc1 and GSOC starts) 1.0b1 - 2010-06-25 (Python 2.7 final) 1.0b2 - 2010-07-17 (GSOC Mid-term) 1.0c1 - 2010-07-30 (GSOC Ends) 1.0 final - 2010-08-15 Feedback is welcome !

Hi all, Is it me or is there trouble with the latest Buildout bootstrap file: svn://svn.zope.org/repos/main/zc.buildout/trunk/bootstrap/bootstrap.py I get this on the latest Ubuntu when trying to run it: aclark@ubuntu:~/Developer/plone-site-admin/buildout$ src/python-buildout/python-2.4/bin/python2.4 bootstrap.py > /home/aclark/Developer/plone-site-admin/buildout/bootstrap.py(25)?() -> from optparse import OptionParser (Pdb) l 20 $Id$ 21 """ 22 23 import os, shutil, sys, tempfile, textwrap, urllib, urllib2 24 import pdb ; pdb.set_trace() 25 -> from optparse import OptionParser 26 27 if sys.platform == 'win32': 28 def quote(c): 29 if ' ' in c: 30 return '"%s"' % c # work around spawn lamosity on windows (Pdb) 31 else: 32 return c 33 else: 34 quote = str 35 36 # In order to be more robust in the face of system Pythons, we want to 37 # run without site-packages loaded.

Oh, having a src/ or lib/ root isn't a problem, IMO. I just don't think package_dir should allow *multiple* roots. Most people who are actually using that feature (AFAICT) are just confused about how Python packaging is supposed to work, rather than actually needing multiple roots.

The multi-root option is to make it easier to add extra packages (like a third party package incuded in the distro) Now for the package_dir, option, I wouldn't mind removing it. I have always hated it too. If we just kill it, people will just have to provide packages relative to the root, I am +1 to remove package_dir > > -- Tarek Ziadé | http://ziade.org
