New submission from Éric Araujo <mer...@netwok.org>: The packaging commands sdist and bdist can create various kinds of archives. The function used to create them is thankfully just a thin wrapper around shutil.make_archive (extracted from distutils), and sdist also uses shutil.get_archive_formats to validate its --formats option. bdist however maintains its own registry.
The docstrings, help texts and reST documentation also contain out-of-sync duplicate lists of allowed formats. I’m working on a patch to fix this duplication. ---------- assignee: eric.araujo components: Distutils2 messages: 153346 nosy: alexis, eric.araujo priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: packaging should use shutil archiving functions transparently type: enhancement versions: 3rd party, Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14011> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
