Éric Araujo <mer...@netwok.org> added the comment: I now think that this should be fixed in d1 too. We could just always rebuild scripts (it’s just a file copy), or implement the matching idea from my previous message.
To answer my own question: > Or is there a rule that says build_* command only look at timetamps to decide > that? I think a command is free to do whatever inspection it needs to determine is something needs rebuilding. Tests would need to exercise both the --executable option of build_scripts and default value. Thankfully the code uses sys.executable and we can inject a custom value in a test. Adding the easy keyword, I think this is a good candidate for the upcoming Montreal sprint. ---------- assignee: tarek -> eric.araujo components: +Distutils keywords: +easy nosy: +alexis stage: -> test needed title: setup.py caches outdated scripts in the build tree -> distutils[2] should recreate scripts in the build tree type: enhancement -> behavior versions: +Python 2.7, Python 3.2, Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10374> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
