Thanks Irit - yes, the behavior with 3.9 and 3.10 is the same, and their 
Makefiles seem to have the same unguarded `echo` statements emitting the output.

Irit Katriel  added the comment:

Ken, the output you posted is for 3.7 and 3.8. Is this reproducible on 3.9+? 
(3.8 and lower are no longer maintained).

[issue29985] make install doesn't seem to support --quiet

[Ken Williams]

Ken Williams  added the comment:

I poked around a bit more, and it looks like a fair number of the installation 
messages are coming from `Lib/distutils/command/build_scripts.py`, which is 
using `distutils.log` to show what it's doing:

  log.debug("not copying %s (up-to-date)", script)
...
  log.info("copying and adjusting %s -> %s", script,
   self.build_dir)
...
  log.info("changing mode of %s", file)
...
  log.info("changing mode of %s from %o to %o",
   file, oldmode, newmode)

What I don't see is a way to change the log level, but if that were possible 
then I assume that's how `--quiet` could be achieved here.

This situation still seems to be the case in 2022.  The output of `make 
altinstall` has thousands of lines like

/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./Lib/test/__main__.py /usr/local/lib/python3.8/test
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./Lib/test/_test_multiprocessing.py

For me, the problem this causes is that CI build logs get extremely long, so 
long that my CI build tools won't show the log in the browser anymore and it 
makes it quite hard to figure out where problems are happening.

It looks like the problem is simply that there are lots of `echo` statements in 
the Makefile.pre.in that could be conditioned on `--quiet`.  One small example 
(in the 'libinstall' target):


if test -x $$i; then \
echo $(INSTALL_SCRIPT) $$i $$b; \
$(INSTALL_SCRIPT) $$i $(DESTDIR)$$b; \
else \
echo $(INSTALL_DATA) $$i $$b; \
$(INSTALL_DATA) $$i $(DESTDIR)$$b; \

I don't quite understand how `--quiet` actually gets parsed and recognized by 
the Makefile, though.

[issue29985] make install doesn't seem to support --quiet

[Chris Jerdonek]

New submission from Chris Jerdonek:

When installing from source, the --quiet option works with "configure" and a 
bare "make":

$ ./configure --quiet
$ make --quiet

However, it doesn't seem to work when passed to "make install" (and "make 
altinstall", etc). I tried a number of variations like:

$ make --quiet install
$ make install --quiet
etc.

The install output is quite verbose, so it would be useful to support --quiet. 
This should still allow warnings, etc, through like it does for configure and 
bare make.
