Joseph Koshy updated AVRO-831:
------------------------------
Attachment: (was: setup.patch)
> Enhance the Python `distutils` control file `setup.py` to build Avro/Python
> without a pre-processing step.
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: AVRO-831
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-831
> Project: Avro
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: python
> Environment: Operating environments supporting the Python programming
> language.
> Reporter: Joseph Koshy
> Labels: build, python
> Original Estimate: 4h
> Remaining Estimate: 4h
>
> Avro's build process for its Python bindings currently needs a set of
> pre-processing steps that need to be executed before the build proper is
> started. These pre-processing steps are executed by {{ant}}.
> The attached patch folds these pre-processing steps into the {{setup.py}}
> control script that is input to Python's {{distutils}} build tool kit. This
> eliminates the dependency on {{ant}}.
> In the patch:
> * Source files that need keyword expansion are renamed to use a {{.in}}
> extension. The build process will generate the appropriately transformed
> {{.py}} files from these {{.in}} files.
> * {{setup.py}} supports a new command {{make_interop_data}}, used to generate
> test data for use with interoperability test code.
