Mailman 3 October 2013 - Distutils-SIG

Two fixes (at last)
by Greg Ward 29 Apr '18

29 Apr '18

Hi all -- at long last, I have fixed two problems that a couple people noticed a while ago: * I folded in Amos Latteier's NT patches almost verbatim -- just changed an `os.path.sep == "/"' to `os.name == "posix"' and added some comments bitching about the inadequacy of the current library installation model (I think this is Python's fault, but for now Distutils is slavishly aping the situation in Python 1.5.x) * I fixed the problem whereby running "setup.py install" without doing anything else caused a crash (because 'build' hadn't yet been run). Now, the 'install' command automatically runs 'build' before doing anything; to make this bearable, I added a 'have_run' dictionary to the Distribution class to keep track of which commands have been run. So now not only are command classes singletons, but their 'run' method can only be invoked once -- both restrictions enforced by Distribution. The code is checked into CVS, or you can download a snapshot at http://www.python.org/sigs/distutils-sig/distutils-19990607.tar.gz Hope someone (Amos?) can try the new version under NT. Any takers for Mac OS? BTW, all parties involved in the Great "Where Do We Install Stuff?" Debate should take a good, hard look at the 'set_final_options()' method of the Install class in distutils/install.py; this is where all the policy decisions about where to install files are made. Currently it apes the Python 1.5 situation as closely as I could figure it out. Obviously, this is subject to change -- I just don't know to *what* it will change!

Package versioning
by Timothy Docker 29 Apr '18

29 Apr '18

Hi all, I've been aware that the distutils sig has been simmerring away, but until recently it has not been directly relevant to what I do. I like the look of the proposed api, but have one question. Will this support an installed system that has multiple versions of the same package installed simultaneously? If not, then this would seem to be a significant limitation, especially when dependencies between packages are considered. Assuming it does, then how will this be achieved? I am presently managing this with a messy arrangement of symlinks. A package is installed with its version number in it's name, and a separate directory is created for an application with links from the unversioned package name to the versioned one. Then I just set the pythonpath to this directory. A sample of what the directory looks like is shown below. I'm sure there is a better solution that this, and I'm not sure that this would work under windows anyway (does windows have symlinks?). So, has this SIG considered such versioning issues yet?

error in windows 7 installation
by Manuel López 13 May '14

13 May '14

Hello Everybody: I am trying to install distribute-0.6.25 in a windows 7 machine. I have python 2.7.3 in 32 bits, although the machine is 64 bits. I installed the 32 bit python version because I want to install ipython and there is no 64 bit builds of the Windows installer for ipython. In any case, upon installing disuitils with python setup.py install I get the following error error: C:\manuel\prog_red\python\distribute-0.6.25\distribute-0.6.25\setuptools\cli-32.exe: No such file or directory Any help will be greatly appeciated. Thanks, Manuel -- Manuel López Mariscal Depto. de Oceanografía Física/CICESE malope(a)cicese.mx

File names with spaces
by Maciej (Matchek) Bliziński 08 Jan '14

08 Jan '14

Hello setuptools developers, I'm attempting to package the newest setuptools version (1.1.6) on Solaris 9 and 10. One of the limitations of the Solaris package manager (the old one, pkgadd/pkgrm), is that it is unable to handle file names with spaces. Would you mind renaming "script template.py" to something like "script_template.py"? Maciej

Plans for binary wheels, and PyPi and OS-X
by Chris Barker 02 Nov '13

02 Nov '13

Someone on another list indicated that pip installing binary wheels from PyPi will ONLY work for Windows. Is that the case? I think it's desperately needed for OS-X as well. Linux is so diverse that I can't imagine it being useful, but OS-X has only so many versions, and the python.org OS-X binaries are very clear in their requirements -- it would be very useful if folks could easily get binary wheels for OS-X -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception Chris.Barker(a)noaa.gov

AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'split'
by Dominique Orban 01 Nov '13

01 Nov '13

I hope this is the right place to ask for help. I'm not finding much comfort in the PyPi documentation or in Google searches. I uploaded my package `pykrylov` with `python setup.py sdist upload`. Installing it locally with `python setup.py` install works fine but `pip install pykrylov` breaks with the messages below. I since removed it from PyPI but I get the same error message if I try installing from the git repository. I'm hoping someone can put me on track as I've no idea what's wrong. You can see my setup.py here: https://github.com/dpo/pykrylov/blob/ea553cdb287f6e685406ceadcb297fd6704af5… I'm using Python 2.7.5 on OSX installed with Homebrew and pip 1.4.1. Attempts to upgrade setuptools or pip result in another error message (AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'rollback')...

distlib 0.1.3 released on PyPI
by Vinay Sajip 31 Oct '13

31 Oct '13

I've just released version 0.1.4 of distlib on PyPI [1]. For newcomers, distlib is a library of packaging functionality which is intended to be usable as the basis for third-party packaging tools. The changes in this release are as follows: scripts.py: Updated the logic for finding the distlib package using a relative, rather than absolute method. This fixes a problem for pip, where distlib is kept in the pip.vendor.distlib package. _backport/sysconfig.py: The analogous change to that made for scripts.py, described above. Please try it out, and if you find any problems or have any suggestions for improvements, please give some feedback using the issue tracker!
