Hi,
I am pleased to announce a new release of bento, a packaging solution for
python which aims at reproducibility, extensibility and simplicity. It supports
every python version from 2.4 to 3.2. You can take a look at its main features
on Bento's main page (http://cournape.github.com/Bento). The main features of
this 0.0.6 release are:
- Completely revamped distutils compatibility layer: it is now a thin layer
around bento infrastructure, so that most bento packages should be
pip-installable, while still keeping bento customization capabilities.
- Build directory is now customizable through bentomaker with
--build-directory option
- Out of tree builds support (i.e. running bento in a directory which does
not contain bento.info), with global --bento-info option
- Hook File can now be specified in recursed bento.info
- Preliminary support for .mpkg (Mac OS X native packaging)
- More consistent API for extension/compiled library build registration
- Both numpy and scipy can now be built with bento + waf as a build backend
Bento is discussed on the bento mailing list
(http://librelist.com/browser/bento).
cheers,
David
