ef04c59f53 Clarify distutils’ clean command (ref #6142) 2014-03-13 16:17:11 -04:00
Éric Araujo
45fc8713bd Make distutils error messages more helpful (#11599).
When running external programs such as a C compiler and getting an
error code, distutils only prints the program name.  With this change,
one can get the full command line by setting the DISTUTILS_DEBUG
environment variable.

This should have no compatibility issues, unless there are tools
that depend on the exact format of distutils debug messages.

b5c4fd0a96 Issue #19407: add Python Packaging User Guide notes
The stdlib docs for package distribution and building extensions
are rather dated, and that isn't expected to change for 2.7 and
3.3.

The Python Packaging User Guide isn't complete either, but it's
already a much better road map for new users than the existing
stdlib docs.

3e4a3dcb23 Ignore .nfs* files in distutils (#7719).
These files are created by some NFS clients a file is edited and removed
concurrently (see added link in doc for more info).  If such a file is
removed between distutils calls listdir and copy, it will get confused.
Other special files are ignored in sdist (namely VCS directories), but
this has to be filtered out earlier.

80d440aee1 Move distutils install doc back into place.
(This was not done in the previous commit because Mercurial would have
shown it as a modified file instead of a moved file.)

859aad6a36 Remove packaging from the standard library.
Distutils2 will live on on PyPI and be included in the stdlib when it
is ready.  See discussion starting at
