Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Extension Modules Group: Python 2.4 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Igor Belyi (belyi) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: pydoc includes unnecessary files for a package. Initial Comment: PyDoc lists all files present in a package directory in a "Package Contents" table instead of only the ones listed in __all__ variable in __init__.py file. This is very inconvenient for packages which are wrappers for some C library since the shared library and a Wrapper get the reference on the package page but then they do not have any comments and their pages are not generated. As a result package page has those annoying dead links. One can probably fix this by creating a special dummy pages for those unused files but it's an agly solution. I do believe that using __all__ variable from __init__.py file when it is defined is more appropriate way to know what files represent the contents of the package.

Hope it will help, Igor ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1217881&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
