Hi list,
the import of setuptools in cx_Freeze/dist.py breaks options of
setup.py commands.
Steps to reproduce
------------------
Create a module 'test.py':
------------------------------
class testclass:
pass
def testfunc():
pass
------------------------------
Create 'setup.py':
------------------------------
import cx_Freeze
cx_Freeze.setup(name='test',
version='1.0',
author = "me",
author_email = "None",
url = "None",
py_modules=['test'])
------------------------------
Run
$ python3 setup.py sdist --force-manifest
Actual behaviour
----------------
usage: setup.py [global_opts] cmd1 [cmd1_opts] [cmd2 [cmd2_opts] ...]
or: setup.py --help [cmd1 cmd2 ...]
or: setup.py --help-commands
or: setup.py cmd --help
error: option --force-manifest not recognized
Expected behaviour
------------------
The script should run as if distutils.core had been imported instead of
cx_Freeze, i.e. transparently handle the case without an error:
running sdist
running check
warning: sdist: manifest template 'MANIFEST.in' does not exist (using
default file list)
warning: sdist: standard file not found: should have one of README,
README.txt
writing manifest file 'MANIFEST'
creating test-1.0
making hard links in test-1.0...
hard linking setup.py -> test-1.0
hard linking test.py -> test-1.0
Creating tar archive
removing 'test-1.0' (and everything under it)
Cause
-----
The import of setuptools in cx_Freeze/dist.py somehow changes the
internals of distutils commands:
dist.py:
------------------------------
try:
import setuptools
except ImportError:
pass
------------------------------
Temporary fix
-------------
Commenting the lines above, i.e.preventing the setuptools import, fixes
the problem. setup.py runs as expected now.
This should probably be replaced by a conditional import of
setuptools where it is required.
Versions affected
-----------------
Tested:
Python 3.1.2 (Linux, win32)
cx_Freeze 4.1.2
cx_Freeze 4.2.1

Florian
