[issue5956] test_distutils fails for Python 3.1b1 on MacOS X

[Ned Deily]

Ned Deily  added the comment:

Another good reason not to install Stuffit or Stuffit Expander.  These 
days OS X expands the standard open formats (i.e. .gz, .zip, .tar, etc) 
all by itself, and there are the standard command line tools as well.  
If you need Stuffit for actual stuffit archives, I think there is (or 
was) a preference in Stuffit Expander and Stuffit so you can restrict 
which formats they should process.

[issue5956] test_distutils fails for Python 3.1b1 on MacOS X

[Jean Brouwers]

Jean Brouwers  added the comment:

Possible, I do not know and had never seen this before.

Also, I just installed the latest (free) version 13.0.3 (Intel Build 
165) of Stuffit Expander and the problem does *not* occur.  

But the older Stuffit 11.0.2 (Intel Build 627) still creates 2 files for 
each of these wininst-*.exe file, an empty directory called wininst-
X.exe and a file called wininst-X.1.exe.  And only for these particular 
wininst-*.exe files.  For other *.exe files, empry ones, binaries and 
even files named wininst-X.exe, Stuffit 11 creates only the single file.

Ok, I was fearing some MacOS X-specific "feature" à la application bundles.
Thanks for reporting the problem anyway :)

[Amaury Forgeot d'Arc]

Amaury Forgeot d'Arc  added the comment:

Is it possible that Stuffit tries to unpack every compressed file found 
inside the tar file?
the wininst*.exe files are templates for installers. They likely contain  
part of the signature of a ZIP file, and Stuffit would handle them as an 
archive to unpack.

[Jean Brouwers]

Jean Brouwers  added the comment:

Here are the answers to your questions.

% python
Python 2.6.2 (r262:71600, Apr 16 2009, 09:17:39) 
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5250)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> f = open('Lib/distutils/command/wininst-6.0.exe')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in 
IOError: [Errno 21] Is a directory: 'Lib/distutils/command/wininst-6.0.exe'

>>> import os
>>> os.path.isdir('Lib/distutils/command/wininst-6.0.exe')
True

>>> os.stat('Lib/distutils/command/wininst-6.0.exe')
posix.stat_result(st_mode=16877, st_ino=6314085L, st_dev=234881026L, 
st_nlink=2, st_uid=501, 
st_gid=501, st_size=68L, st_atime=1242244664, st_mtime=1241712622, 
st_ctime=1241712622)

>>> os.stat('Lib/distutils/command')
posix.stat_result(st_mode=16877, st_ino=6314060L, st_dev=234881026L, 
st_nlink=58, st_uid=501,

st_ctime=1242245012)


But here is the root cause.  The Python-3.1b1 files were created by Stuffit 
Expander ffrom the original 
Python-3.1b1 tar ball downloaded from the Python website.  Changing the Stuffit 
preferences does not 
make any difference.  

However, if that same tar ball is uncompressed by the  tar -zxf ... command, 
there are no directories.  
Only five simple files, as expected:

-rw-r--r--   1 jean  jean   61440 Jul 15  2008 wininst-6.0.exe
-rw-r--r--   1 jean  jean   65536 Jul 15  2008 wininst-7.1.exe
-rw-r--r--   1 jean  jean   61440 Jan 20 13:25 wininst-8.0.exe
-rw-r--r--   1 jean  jean  224256 Jan 29 05:08 wininst-9.0-amd64.exe
-rw-r--r--   1 jean  jean  196096 Jan 29 05:08 wininst-9.0.exe


After removing the directory files (and renaming the *.1.exe to *.exe), the 
regression tests passes.

[issue5956] test_distutils fails for Python 3.1b1 on MacOS X

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou  added the comment:

Where does wininst-6.0.1.exe come from? I don't see it on a fresh
checkout (there's only wininst-6.0.exe (without the ".1")). Does MacOS X
create these "aliases" automatically?

Did you install Python 3.1 or are your running directly from the source
tree?

[issue5956] test_distutils fails for Python 3.1b1 on MacOS X

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou  added the comment:

Ouch! Could you try to simply open() an exe file in the interactive
interpreter?
What does os.stat() give on this exe file?
What does os.stat() give on a "real" directory?

If some files are also directories under MacOS X, perhaps we must
reconsider the directory detection routine in _fileio.c.

[Jean Brouwers]

Jean Brouwers  added the comment:

Indeed, this is Python 3.1b1 built from source on MacOS X 10.4.1 Tiger 
(Intel).

MacOS considers some of these win*.exe files directories.  See the 
attached picture and below.

"Is a directory"? I suppose you are trying to install from a source tar
ball? What happens when you try to "ls" this file?
