Category: Python Library Group: Python 2.5 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Armin Rigo (arigo) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: distutils/tests not installed Initial Comment: The new subdirectory distutils/tests is not copied to the installation location by a 'make install'. This causes test_distutils to crash when run from an installed path (as opposed to from a CVS check-out). I could propose a patch (Makefile.pre.in) given some bash syntax learning efforts -- for example, distutils/tests shouldn't be installed if we want a no-test installation. This raises the question about why distutils/tests isn't actually called test/distutils... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Armin Rigo (arigo) Date: 2005-01-09 14:03 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=4771 Attachment was corrupted??

Löwis (loewis) Date: 2004-12-30 14:11 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=21627 Please do try to come up with a patch. I'm not sure I understand the no-test business - there is no no-test installation AFAICT; adding it to LIBSUBDIRS might be sufficient. The Windows installer has the notion of no-test installs; it did always package distutils/tests, but now also conditionalizes installation on the selection of the testsuite. As for choice of location of the tests: both bsddb and email have their own test directories, both because they contain a large number of tests, and because they are both packaged independently of Python. The same could be said about distutils. As for the choice of name: it is called "test" in all other cases, only "tests" for distutils. This is unfortunate, but changing directories in CVS does more harm than good. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1093173&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
