Works for me. I think then we need a script (akin to the copyright plugin that most IDEs have) to check that every file has the correct copyright notice and Emacs/Vi/Vim notice. I wonder if Eclipse/PyDev, Aptana, PyCharm, WingIDE, IntelliJIDEA/Python, Komodo, Ninja-IDE. do the right thing? An alternative is to declare PEP-8 and run pep8 prior to commit, or every so often. This raises the generally vexed issue of copyright ownership. Default in UK, and USA, law is, I believe, that copyright rests with the writer. Thus FOSS projects technically have to deal with all contributors or, more usually, have a contribution agreement that assigns or creates shared copyright. In SCons' case the situation is easy, the assigned or shared copyright should rest with the SCons Foundation, and it should be the foundation that is the published copyright owner. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:[email protected] 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: [email protected] London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder _______________________________________________ Scons-dev mailing list [email protected] http://two.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/scons-dev
