New submission from Tarek Ziadé <ziade.ta...@gmail.com>: Right now there's no way in a command to know that it was launched as a subcommand from another command.
For instance every install_* command knows explicitely that it is launched as a subcommand of 'install' and takes back its options in finalize_options() using set_undefined_options(). For commands that might be used as subcommands of several commands, we need to pass the name of the parent command to finalize_options() so we can call set_undefined_options() without knowing explicitely the name of the parent command. This will be done by adding an optional parameter called 'parent_command', to run_command(), then to ensure_finalized() and to finalized_options(). The first use case of this will be the check command, that will be used by "register" and "sdist". This change will be backward compatible with the existing commands and ths new parameter optional ---------- assignee: tarek components: Distutils messages: 85950 nosy: tarek priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: knowing the parent command type: feature request versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.1 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5747> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
