| 17 | # Possible modes of operation: |
| 18 | # - require an explicit manifest that lists every single file (presumably |
| 19 | # along with a way to auto-generate the manifest) |
| 20 | # - require an explicit manifest, but allow it to have globs or |
| 21 | # filename patterns of some kind (and also have auto-generation) |
| 22 | # - allow an explict manifest, but automatically augment it at runtime |
| 23 | # with the source files mentioned in 'packages', 'py_modules', and |
| 24 | # 'ext_modules' (and any other such things that might come along) |
| 25 | |
| 26 | # I'm liking the third way. Possible gotchas: |
| 27 | # - redundant specification: 'packages' includes 'foo' and manifest |
| 28 | # includes 'foo/*.py' |
| 29 | # - obvious conflict: 'packages' includes 'foo' and manifest |
| 30 | # includes '! foo/*.py' (can't imagine why you'd want this) |
| 31 | # - subtle conflict: 'packages' includes 'foo' and manifest |
| 32 | # includes '! foo/bar.py' (this could well be desired: eg. exclude |
| 33 | # an experimental module from distribution) |
| 34 | |
| 35 | # Syntax for the manifest file: |
| 36 | # - if a line is just a Unix-style glob by itself, it's a "simple include |
| 37 | # pattern": go find all files that match and add them to the list |
| 38 | # of files |
| 39 | # - if a line is a glob preceded by "!", then it's a "simple exclude |
| 40 | # pattern": go over the current list of files and exclude any that |
| 41 | # match the glob pattern |
| 42 | # - if a line consists of a directory name followed by zero or more |
| 43 | # glob patterns, then we'll recursively explore that directory tree |
| 44 | # - the glob patterns can be include (no punctuation) or exclude |
| 45 | # (prefixed by "!", no space) |
| 46 | # - if no patterns given or the first pattern is not an include pattern, |
| 47 | # then assume "*" -- ie. find everything (and then start applying |
| 48 | # the rest of the patterns) |
| 49 | # - the patterns are given in order of increasing precedence, ie. |
| 50 | # the *last* one to match a given file applies to it |
| 51 | # |
| 52 | # example (ignoring auto-augmentation!): |
| 53 | # distutils/*.py |
| 54 | # distutils/command/*.py |
| 55 | # ! distutils/bleeding_edge.py |
| 56 | # examples/*.py |
| 57 | # examples/README |
| 58 | # |
| 59 | # smarter way (that *will* include distutils/command/bleeding_edge.py!) |
| 60 | # distutils *.py |
| 61 | # ! distutils/bleeding_edge.py |
| 62 | # examples !*~ !*.py[co] (same as: examples * !*~ !*.py[co]) |
| 63 | # test test_* *.txt !*~ !*.py[co] |
| 64 | # README |
| 65 | # setup.py |
| 66 | # |
| 67 | # The actual Distutils manifest (don't need to mention source files, |
| 68 | # README, setup.py -- they're automatically distributed!): |
| 69 | # examples !*~ !*.py[co] |
| 70 | # test !*~ !*.py[co] |
| 71 | |
| 72 | # The algorithm that will make it work: |
| 73 | # files = stuff from 'packages', 'py_modules', 'ext_modules', |
| 74 | # plus README, setup.py, ... ? |
| 75 | # foreach pattern in manifest file: |
| 76 | # if simple-include-pattern: # "distutils/*.py" |
| 77 | # files.append (glob (pattern)) |
| 78 | # elif simple-exclude-pattern: # "! distutils/foo*" |
| 79 | # xfiles = glob (pattern) |
| 80 | # remove all xfiles from files |
| 81 | # elif recursive-pattern: # "examples" (just a directory name) |
| 82 | # patterns = rest-of-words-on-line |
| 83 | # dir_files = list of all files under dir |
| 84 | # if patterns: |
| 85 | # if patterns[0] is an exclude-pattern: |
| 86 | # insert "*" at patterns[0] |
| 87 | # for file in dir_files: |
| 88 | # for dpattern in reverse (patterns): |
| 89 | # if file matches dpattern: |
| 90 | # if dpattern is an include-pattern: |
| 91 | # files.append (file) |
| 92 | # else: |
| 93 | # nothing, don't include it |
| 94 | # next file |
| 95 | # else: |
| 96 | # files.extend (dir_files) # ie. accept all of them |
| 97 | |
| 98 | |
| 99 | # Anyways, this is all implemented below -- BUT it is largely untested; I |
| 100 | # know it works for the simple case of distributing the Distutils, but |
| 101 | # haven't tried it on more complicated examples. Undoubtedly doing so will |
| 102 | # reveal bugs and cause delays, so I'm waiting until after I've released |
| 103 | # Distutils 0.1. |
| 104 | |
| 105 | |
| 106 | # Other things we need to look for in creating a source distribution: |
| 107 | # - make sure there's a README |
| 108 | # - make sure the distribution meta-info is supplied and non-empty |
| 109 | # (*must* have name, version, ((author and author_email) or |
| 110 | # (maintainer and maintainer_email)), url |
| 111 | # |
| 112 | # Frills: |
| 113 | # - make sure the setup script is called "setup.py" |
| 114 | # - make sure the README refers to "setup.py" (ie. has a line matching |
| 115 | # /^\s*python\s+setup\.py/) |
| 116 | |
| 117 | # A crazy idea that conflicts with having/requiring 'version' in setup.py: |
| 118 | # - make sure there's a version number in the "main file" (main file |
| 119 | # is __init__.py of first package, or the first module if no packages, |
| 120 | # or the first extension module if no pure Python modules) |
| 121 | # - XXX how do we look for __version__ in an extension module? |
| 122 | # - XXX do we import and look for __version__? or just scan source for |
| 123 | # /^__version__\s*=\s*"[^"]+"/ ? |
| 124 | # - what about 'version_from' as an alternative to 'version' -- then |
| 125 | # we know just where to search for the version -- no guessing about |
| 126 | # what the "main file" is |

| 470 | # Hmm, something extra: want to apply an exclude pattern over a whole |
| 471 | # subtree without necessarily having to explicitly include files from it, |
| 472 | # ie. it should apply after gathering files by other means (simple |
| 473 | # include pattern) |
| 474 | # . !*~ !*.bak !#*# |
| 475 | # and we also want to prune at certain directories: |
| 476 | # . !RCS !CVS |
| 477 | # which again should apply globally. |
| 478 | # |
| 479 | # possible solution: |
| 480 | # - exclude pattern in a directory applies to all files found under that |
| 481 | # directory |
| 482 | # - subdirectories that match an exclude pattern will be pruned |
| 483 | # - hmmm, to be consistent, subdirectories that match an include |
| 484 | # pattern should be recursively included |
| 485 | # - and this should apply to "simple" patterns too |
| 486 | # |
| 487 | # thus: |
| 488 | # |
| 489 | # examples/ |
| 490 | # |
| 491 | # means get everything in examples/ and all subdirs; |
| 492 | # |
| 493 | # examples/ !*~ !#*# !*.py[co] |
| 494 | # |
| 495 | # means get everything under examples/ except files matching those three globs; |
| 496 | # |
| 497 | # ./ !RCS !CVS |
| 498 | # |
| 499 | # means get everything under current dir, but prune RCS/CVS directories; |
| 500 | # |
| 501 | # ./ !*~ !#*# !*.py[co] !RCS !CVS |
| 502 | # ! build/ |
| 503 | # ! experimental/ |
| 504 | # |
| 505 | # means get everything under the distribution directory except the usual |
| 506 | # excludes at all levels; exclude "build" and "experimental" under the |
| 507 | # distribution dir only. |
| 508 | # |
| 509 | # Do the former examples still work? |
| 510 | # |
| 511 | # distutils/ *.py |
| 512 | # ! distutils/bleeding_edge.py |
| 513 | # |
| 514 | # means all .py files recursively found under distutils, except for the one |
| 515 | # explicitly named. |
| 516 | # |
| 517 | # distutils/ *.py !bleeding_edge.py |
| 518 | # |
| 519 | # means the same, except bleeding_edge.py will be excluded wherever it's |
| 520 | # found -- thus this can exclude up to one file per directory under |
| 521 | # distutils. |
| 522 | # |
| 523 | # distutils/*.py |
| 524 | # ! distutils/bleeding_edge.py |
| 525 | # |
| 526 | # gets exactly distutils/*.py, minus the one explicitly mentioned exclude, and |
| 527 | # |
| 528 | # distutils/*.py |
| 529 | # distutils/ !bleeding_edge.py |
| 530 | # |
| 531 | # coincidentally does the same, but only because there can only be one file |
| 532 | # that matches the exclude pattern. Oh, we'd still like |
| 533 | # |
| 534 | # distutils *.py !bleeding*.py |
| 535 | # distutils/bleeding_ledge.py |
| 536 | # |
| 537 | # to include distutils/bleeding_ledge.py -- i.e. it should override the |
| 538 | # earlier exclude pattern by virtue of appearing later in the manifest. Does |
| 539 | # this conflict with the above requirements, ie. that "!RCS" and "!*~" should |
| 540 | # apply everywhere? Hmm, I think it doesn't have to, as long as we're smart |
| 541 | # about it. Consequence: |
| 542 | # |
| 543 | # . !RCS !CVS |
| 544 | # distutils * |
| 545 | # |
| 546 | # will go ahead and include RCS and CVS files under distutils, but |
| 547 | # |
| 548 | # distutils * |
| 549 | # . !RCS !CVS |
| 550 | # |
| 551 | # will do the right thing. Hmmm. I think that's OK, and an inevitable |
| 552 | # consequence of the ability to override exclusions. |
| 553 | |
| 554 | # OK, new crack at the search algorithm. |
| 555 | # |
| 556 | # for pattern in manifest: |
| 557 | # if dir-pattern: # ie. first word is a directory (incl. "."!) |
| 558 | # dir = first word on line |
| 559 | # patterns = rest of line |
| 560 | # if patterns: |
| 561 | # for dpattern in patterns: |
| 562 | # if exclude-pattern: |
| 563 | # remove from files anything matching dpattern (including pruning |
| 564 | # subtrees rooted at directories that match dpattern) |
| 565 | # else: |
| 566 | # files.append (recursive_glob (dir, dpattern)) |
| 567 | # else: |
| 568 | # files.append (recursive_glob (dir, '*') |
| 569 | # |
| 570 | # elif include-pattern: # it's a "simple include pattern" |
| 571 | # files.append (glob (pattern)) |
| 572 | # |
| 573 | # else: # it's a "simple exclude pattern" |
| 574 | # remove from files anything matching pattern |
| 575 | |
| 576 | # The two removal algorithms might be a bit tricky: |
| 577 | # |
| 578 | # "remove simple exclude pattern": |
| 579 | # for f in files: |
| 580 | # if f matches pattern: |
| 581 | # delete it |
| 582 | # |
| 583 | # "remove recursive exclude pattern": |
| 584 | # for f in files: |
| 585 | # |
| 586 | # t = tail (f) |
| 587 | # while t: |
| 588 | # if t matches pattern: |
| 589 | # delete current file |
| 590 | # continue |
| 591 | # t = tail (t) |
| 592 | # |
| 593 | # Well, that was an interesting mental exercise. I'm not completely |
| 594 | # convinced it will work, nor am I convinced this level of complexity |
| 595 | # is necessary. If you want to exclude RCS or CVS directories, just |
| 596 | # don't bloody include them! |
