* Cleaned up/simplified error-handling:Greg Ward2000-04-151-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | - DistutilsOptionError is now documented as it's actually used, ie. to indicate bogus option values (usually user options, eg. from the command-line) - added DistutilsSetupError to indicate errors that definitely arise in the setup script - got rid of DistutilsValueError, and changed all usage of it to either DistutilsSetupError or ValueError as appropriate - simplified a bunch of option get/set methods in Command and Distribution classes -- just pass on AttributeError most of the time, rather than turning it into something else
* Reorganization: ripped util.py to shreds, creating in the process:Greg Ward2000-04-041-664/+7
| | | | | | | | | - file_util.py: operations on single files - dir_util.py: operations on whole directories or directory trees - dep_util.py: simple timestamp-based dependency analysis - archive_util.py: creation of archive (tar, zip, ...) files The functions left in util.py are miscellany that don't fit in any of the new files.
* Fixed 'make_archive()' to explicitly turn of compression when format is "tar".Greg Ward2000-03-311-0/+1
|
* Tweaked 'get_platform()' to include the first character of the OS release:Greg Ward2000-03-311-4/+2
| | | | eg. sunos5, linux2, irix5.
* Added 'create_tree()'.Greg Ward2000-03-311-25/+135
| | | | | | | | | | | Changes to 'copy_file()': * added support for making hard links and symlinks * noted that it silently clobbers existing files when copying, but blows up if destination exists when linking -- hmmm... * error message tweak Added 'base_name' parameter to 'make_tarball()' and 'make_zipfile()'. Added 'make_archive()' -- wrapper around 'make_tarball()' or 'make_zipfile()' to take care of the archive "root directory".
* Changed 'copy_tree()' so it returns the list of all files that were copied orGreg Ward2000-03-291-11/+12
| | | | might have been copied, regardless of the 'update' flag.
* Documented Bastian's patch.Greg Ward2000-03-291-7/+9
| | | | Made handling OSError in 'mkpath()' more standard.
* Patch from Bastian Kleineidam <calvin@cs.uni-sb.de>:Greg Ward2000-03-291-3/+5
| | | | make 'mkdir()' return list of directories created.
* Added 'make_tarball()' and 'make_zipfile()' functions in preparationGreg Ward2000-03-291-2/+90
| | | | | for the 'bdist_dumb' command. Adapted, with tweakage, from the 'sdist' command.
* Import fix.Greg Ward2000-03-231-1/+1
|
* Improved an error message in 'mkpath()'.Greg Ward2000-03-221-7/+47
| | | | | Tightened up some logic in 'native_path()'. Added 'subst_vars()' and '_check_environ()'.
* Patch from Bastian Kleineidam <calvin@cs.uni-sb.de>: added 'remove_tree()'.Greg Ward2000-03-181-1/+20
|
* Patch from Corran Webster <cwebster@nevada.edu> (tweaked for style by me):Greg Ward2000-03-071-0/+11
| | | | changed 'copy_file()' to use the native Mac file copy routine.
* Added 'native_path()' for use on pathnames from the setup script: split onGreg Ward2000-03-071-0/+28
| | | | slashes, and put back together again using the local directory separator.
* Rewrote 'newer_pairwise(): more natural (and incompatible) interface,Greg Ward2000-03-061-12/+13
| | | | simpler implementation.
* Fixed 'mkpath()' to accept empty string silently (it's just the current dir).Greg Ward2000-03-031-9/+11
| | | | Fixed all DistutilsFileError messages to wrap file/dir names in quotes.
* Changed '__rcsid__' to '__revision__'.Greg Ward2000-03-021-1/+1
|
* Added 'get_platform()' to construct a string that identifies the currentGreg Ward2000-03-011-1/+19
| | | | platform, using 'os.uname()' or 'sys.platform'.
* Fixed broken list extend in 'copy_tree()'.Greg Ward2000-01-301-2/+2
|
* 'newer_group()' can now deal with missing files, in a way specified byGreg Ward2000-01-091-2/+17
| | | | the 'missing' parameter.
* Fixed 'mkpath()' to normalize the path right off the bat -- cleans upGreg Ward1999-10-031-5/+7
| | | | | | | the code a bit and should make it work under Windows even with trailing backslash. Fixed a couple of docstrings. Added comment about 'make_file()' possibly being redundant and unnecessary.
* More tweaks to 'mkpath()':Greg Ward1999-09-291-0/+5
| | | | | | - deal with empty tail from os.path.split() (eg. from trailing slash, or backslash, or whatever) - check PATH_CREATED hash inside loop as well
* Added 'write_file()' function.Greg Ward1999-09-211-1/+22
| | | | | | | Added global cache PATH_CREATED used by 'mkpath()' to ensure it doesn't try to create the same path more than once in a session (and, more importantly, to ensure that it doesn't print "creating X" more than once for each X per session!).
* Added 'newer_pairwise()' and 'newer_group()'.Greg Ward1999-09-131-16/+133
| | | | | | Terminology change in 'newer()'. Made 'copy_tree' respect dry_run flag a little better. Added 'move_file()'.
* On David Ascher's recommendation: reversed order of 'utime()' andGreg Ward1999-06-081-2/+5
| | | | 'chmod()' in 'copy_file()'.
* The 'copy_file()' and 'copy_tree()' functions in util.py now haveGreg Ward1999-05-021-12/+30
| | | | | | | meaningful return values: respectively, whether the copy was done, and the list of files that were copied. This meant some trivial changes in core.py as well: the Command methods that mirror 'copy_file()' and 'copy_tree()' have to pass on their return values.
* Added 'dry_run' flag to most functions (to support the "shadow methods"Greg Ward1999-04-041-15/+28
| | | | | | | | that wrap them in the Command class). Fixed 'copy_file()' to use '_copy_file_contents()', not 'copyfile()' from shutil module -- no reference to shutil anymore. Added "not copying" announcement in 'copy_file()'. Wee comment fix.
* First checkin of real Distutils code.Greg Ward1999-03-221-0/+245
