New submission from Thomas Heller <thel...@ctypes.org>: Distutils setup function accepts an 'options' named argument which allows to pass options to subcommands in a dictionary (At the moment I cannot find where this is documented). When an empty dictionary is passed, distutils spits out a warning:
C:\sf\comtypes>py3 setup.py clean c:\python30\lib\distutils\dist.py:259: UserWarning: Unknown distribution option: 'options' warnings.warn(msg) running clean ... I believe the bug is in all versions of Python; since it never has been fixed (or even found) I'm not sure if it is worth fixing. However, patch is attached. ---------- components: Distutils files: distutils.patch keywords: patch, patch messages: 77687 nosy: theller severity: normal status: open title: distutils chokes on empty options arg in the setup function type: behavior versions: Python 2.5.3, Python 2.6, Python 2.7, Python 3.0 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file12334/distutils.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4646> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
