Modified Files: cmd.py Log Message: Added a check for the 'force' attribute in '__getattr__()' -- better than crashing when self.force not defined.
This seems a bit silly. Why don't you simply define .force in the __init__ method?
Duhh, 'cause I'm stupid? No, that's not it. 'Cause I was doing this on a lazy Sunday evening and not really thinking about it? Yeah, I think that's it. There, I now define self.force in the Command class constructor. A wee bit cheesy (not all Distutils command classes need or use self.force, and it wouldn't always mean the same thing), but it means minimal code upheaval for now.

Oops, that was a CVS config thing. Fixed now -- I'll go checkin that change and we'll all see if it worked. Just as well it was off though -- I checked in a couple of big documentation updates this weekend, and who wants to see 30k of LaTeX patches in their inbox on Monday morning? ;-) Greg -- Greg Ward - software developer gward@mems-exchange.org MEMS Exchange / CNRI voice: +1-703-262-5376 Reston, Virginia, USA fax: +1-703-262-5367
