New submission from sinoroc <sinoroc.code+pyt...@gmail.com>:
In the 'distutils' command 'bdist_dumb', the short option 'd' is used for both the 'bdist-dir' and 'dist-dir' options. The bdist-dir option appeared first on 2000-05-13 in commit: ba0506b The dist-dir option appeared then on 2000-07-05 in commit: c4eb84a There appears to have been no version released between these two commits, so most likely the global behaviour of the command has stayed consistent. The short option d actually triggers the dist-dir option, not the bdist-dir option. It is therefore safe to change the short option for bdist-dir. A choice consistent with other similar distutils commands is 'b'. ---------- components: Distutils messages: 352224 nosy: dstufft, eric.araujo, sinoroc priority: normal pull_requests: 15695 severity: normal status: open title: Fix short option 'd' in 'scommand 'bdist_dumb' versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.5, Python 3.6, Python 3.7, Python 3.8, Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38145> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
