Nice! Error on slide 13: you can't use --multi-version with install; you're probably thinking "sudo python setup.py easy_install --multi-version ." there. Re: slide 31, the commands for installing pieces are used by the various bdist commands (including bdist_egg) to install to a temporary directory before archiving the directory to make an egg, windows installer, or "dumb" zipfile. Re: slide 33, users only get to turn sdist distributions into bdist ones if they have a C compiler, or the package is Python-only. Re: slide 38, it's "depends", not "deepends", and I've removed it anyway. :) Also, the 'test' command isn't "limited" to unittest, it just expects a unittest-compatible wrapper. For example, doctest has functions that wrap doctests as unittest suites, so it's quite possible to use that. As far as I'm concerned, unittest suites are the WSGI of testing; if somebody creates a fancy new test framework, they should darn well make it possible to put a unittest suite wrapper around it, so that people can integrate their existing tests. :) _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
