New submission from Mark Hammond <skippy.hamm...@gmail.com>: Probably in all versions, but certainly in 2.7.
If you create an installer with bdist_wininst and specify an install_script, that script is not run on uninstallation. See attached test case: setup.py specifies an install_script which just appends argv to %TEMP%/uninstall-test.txt. * Create the installer with "python setup.py bdist_wininst" * Execute the installer (ie, "dist\hello-0.1.win32.exe") * Check %TEMP%/uninstall-test.txt - it should have 1 line: ['o:\\src\\python-2.6\\Scripts\\hello-install.py', '-install'] * Uninstall the package. * Check %TEMP%/uninstall-test.txt - it *should* have a new line reflecting the uninstall. Instead it is unchanged. To get more info: * Reinstall the package. * Manually uninstall using the cmdline (with adjusted paths) C:\> "c:\python26\Removehello.exe" -u "c:\python26\hello-wininst.log" > %TEMP%\delme.out 2>&1 Check the contents of %TEMP%\delme.out - you will see: *** Could not load Python ****** Could not run installation script *** Digging into the source code of install.c - the problem is that although the Python DLL name is parsed from the log file, this isn't reflected in the global variables python_dir or pythondll - so they remain empty strings and attempting to load the empty string as Python causes the error messages. ---------- assignee: tarek components: Distutils files: setup.py messages: 137105 nosy: eric.araujo, mhammond, tarek priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: bdist_wininst install_script not run on uninstall type: behavior Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file22160/setup.py _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12200> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
