New submission from Brian Thorne <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: I found this bug when using scipy's weave and having some inline C/C++ code. Weave uses distutils to compile the source in its own directory, python was installed under "program files". Unfortunately it doesn't seem to handle spaces in the path to either the output or the temporary source files. I checked that this was the only problem by copying the weave directory from site-packages and put it in another directory without spaces in the path - weave and distutils then worked fine. I then tried the g++ command seen in the stack trace at the command line and got the same error - so altered the command by correctly quoting the -c "path/to source/a.c" and the -o objects. This worked so set out changing it in distutils.
The two files I altered were unixcompiler.py (surprising as I am under windows!) and cygwinccompiler.py This was clearly an older stable build so I checked out the python trunk r67510 on windows (32bit), made a patch, and tested with my weave dependant code. (I am not familiar enough with distutils to make a standalone test). The same method to cause a problem has the same effect in ubuntu - the build directory seems to default to users home, but as the source path has a space in it g++ gets confused. ---------- components: Distutils files: distutils_compiler_quoting.patch keywords: patch messages: 76848 nosy: Thorney severity: normal status: open title: distutils compiler not handling spaces in path to output/src files type: behavior versions: Python 2.1.1, Python 2.1.2, Python 2.2, Python 2.2.1, Python 2.2.2, Python 2.2.3, Python 2.3, Python 2.4, Python 2.5, Python 2.5.3, Python 2.6, Python 2.7, Python 3.0, Python 3.1 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file12213/distutils_compiler_quoting.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4508> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
