* Revised tons of comments to reflect the current state of affairs better.Greg Ward2000-03-221-72/+39

* Run 'install_lib' instead of 'install_py', and ditch 'install_ext'Greg Ward2000-03-221-13/+4

* Dropped any notion of allowing the user to specify the build directories:Greg Ward2000-03-221-13/+10
| | | | | | | these must come from the 'build' command. This means we no longer need the misconceived 'set_peer_option()' method in Command and, more importantly, sweeps away a bunch of potential future complexity to handle this tricky case.
* Yet another complete rewrite. Hopefully the *last* complete rewrite ofGreg Ward2000-03-221-129/+299
| | | | | | | | | | | | this command for a while; this implements roughly the plan cooked up by Guido, Fred, and me. Seems to strike a nice balance between usability in the common cases (just set one option), expandability for more types of files to install in future, and customizability of installation directories. This revision isn't completely working: standard and alternate installations work fine, but there are still some kinks to work out of customized installations.

* Unfinished, untested implementation of the lovely baroque installation schemeGreg Ward2000-02-261-154/+105
| | | | | cooked up by Fred Drake and me. Only saved for posterity (whoever posterity is), as it is about to be ditched in favour of GvR's much simpler design.
* Renamed 'set_default_options()' to 'initialize_options()', andGreg Ward2000-02-181-3/+3

* Renamed all 'options' class attributes to 'user_options'.Greg Ward2000-02-181-36/+37

* Renamed all command classes so they're exactly the same as the name of theGreg Ward2000-02-181-1/+1
| | | | | command itself: no more of this "FooBar class for foo_bar command" silliness.
* Added 'description' class attribute to every command class (to help theGreg Ward2000-01-301-1/+4
| | | | | | | '--help-commands' option). Shuffled imports around in a few command modules to avoid expensive up-front import of sysconfig (and resulting delays in generating list of all commands).
* Always run sys.prefix and sys.exec_prefix through 'os.path.normpath()'Greg Ward2000-01-171-4/+4

* Renamed many options to be consistent across commands.Greg Ward1999-09-291-9/+7
| | | | | | Tweaked some help strings to be consistent with documentation. Don't call 'set_final_options()' in 'run()' anymore -- that's now guaranteed to be taken care of for us by the Distribution instance.
* Added 'install_path' option for giving non-packagized moduleGreg Ward1999-09-211-12/+82
| | | | | | | | | | | distributions their own directory (and .pth file). Overhauled how we determine installation directories in 'set_final_options()' to separate platform-dependence and take 'install_path' option into account. Added 'create_path_file()' to create path config file when 'install_path' given. Only run 'install_py' and 'install_ext' when, respectively, there are some pure Python modules and some extension modules in the distribution.
* Straightened up the selection of installation directories for platform-Greg Ward1999-09-131-31/+21
| | | | | | specific files; it was somewhat broken, and the comments were dead wrong. Now runs 'install_ext' command after 'install_py'.
* Oops, call 'os.path.join()'!Greg Ward1999-08-191-1/+1

* Added a self-berating command relating to installation directories forGreg Ward1999-07-101-0/+8
| | | | module distributions that contain platform-specific files.
* Hacked 'set_final_options()' to set (hopefully) appropriate values forGreg Ward1999-06-081-7/+56
| | | | | | | 'install_site_lib' and install_site_platlib' on non-POSIX platforms. Should at least work for NT, as this is adopted from Amos Latteier's NT patches. Also added extensive comments bitching about the inadequacy of the current model, both under POSIX and NT (and probably other) systems.
* Rearranged things so that compilation of .py files is the responsibilityGreg Ward1999-05-021-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | of the 'install_py' command rather than 'build_py'. Obviously, this meant that the 'build_py' and 'install_py' modules had to change; less obviously, so did 'install' and 'build', since these higher-level commands must make options available to control the lower-level commands, and some compilation-related options had to migrate with the code.
* First checkin of real Distutils command modules.Greg Ward1999-03-221-0/+189
