New submission from Alex Brandt:
I first noticed this issue when configuring nose via setup.cfg and reported the
behavior in this issue on their tracker:
https://github.com/nose-devs/nose/issues/733
I'll repaste the important bits here:
When using a setup.cfg with the following contents (including minor variations):
[nosetests]
logging-format = %(lineno)d: %(process)d: %(message)s
With any setup.py file the following error is raised when trying to run
setup.py (python2.7 used for example, error also occurs in 3.3):
alunduil@elijah margarine % python2.7 setup.py nosetests
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "setup.py", line 108, in <module>
setup(**PARAMS)
File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/distutils/core.py", line 125, in setup
dist.parse_config_files()
File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/distutils/dist.py", line 397, in parse_config_files
val = parser.get(section,opt)
File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/ConfigParser.py", line 623, in get
return self._interpolate(section, option, value, d)
File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/ConfigParser.py", line 669, in _interpolate
option, section, rawval, e.args[0])
ConfigParser.InterpolationMissingOptionError: Bad value substitution:
section: [nosetests]
option : logging-format
key : pathname
rawval : %(pathname)s:%(lineno)d: %(process)d: %(message)s
The suggested fix of using %% to pass the interpolation through to nose
requires that distutils use SafeConfigParser rather than ConfigParser.
I've verified that this does indeed appear to work (at least fixing the
distutils interaction). The only place the change needs to be made is on lines
378 and 386 in distutils/dist.py.
I can attach a patch or send a pull request with this fix if there are no
objections to this solution.
