New submission from Simon Cross <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: The section on Additional meta-data in Doc/distutils/setupscript.rst is missing any reference to the setup() "platforms" keyword. I've attached a patch which fills in the basics but there are some outstanding questions:
- Does note (4) about backwards compatibility with earlier versions of Python apply? - What strings should be used to describe each platform? Perhaps any final element of an "Operating System ::" trove classifier? - Given that we have the classifiers, is the "platforms" keyword actually needed? Perhaps the docs should just mark it as deprecated? We would then maybe need to change distutils to populate the platforms key in PKG-INFO from the classifiers? ---------- assignee: georg.brandl components: Documentation files: distutils-platforms-keyword-documentation.diff keywords: patch messages: 76499 nosy: georg.brandl, hodgestar severity: normal status: open title: Distutils Metadata Documentation Missing "platforms" Keyword versions: Python 2.5, Python 2.5.3, Python 2.6, Python 2.7, Python 3.0, Python 3.1 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file12142/distutils-platforms-keyword-documentation.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4446> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
