Category: Macintosh Group: None >Status: Closed >Resolution: Wont Fix Priority: 5 Submitted By: Bob Ippolito (etrepum) Assigned to: Jack Jansen (jackjansen) Summary: Enhance PackageManager functionality Initial Comment: PackageManager should probably let you choose a tarball/ zip/folder on disk (or drag + drop) and look for a setup.py that it would do the Usual Thing with. Perhaps also let you choose an arbitrary .py file and scan for 'distutils' -- but I've only seen a called-something-other-than-setup.py distutils installer in one package (it had multiple setup-prefixed installers that installed different related modules, and an annoying no-op setup.py.. so I would say this is a bug on his part). PackageManager should be refactored to be responsive and non-blocking (i.e. threaded or forking). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Bob Ippolito (etrepum) Date: 2006-07-15 12:57 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=139309 PackageManager is deprecated in favor of Cheese Shop + easy_install and bdist_mpkg + pythonmac.org/packages ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: has (hhas) Date: 2004-06-04 14:26 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=996627 "PackageManager should probably let you choose a tarball/ zip/folder on disk (or drag + drop) and look for a setup.py that it would do the Usual Thing with." See my PyMod application for a simple standalone solution that fulfills this requirement: http://freespace.virgin.net/hamish.sanderson/PyMod.app.sit Supports building and installing distutils packages, and PyPI registration through a simple GUI. Could use a better name and icon, and needs a bit more user testing (only tested on 10.2.6 so far), but is otherwise ready to roll, and you're welcome to include in the MacPython 2.4 distribution. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=355470&aid=779160&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
