New submission from Ned Deily <n...@acm.org>: RELEASE BLOCKER
r71400 and r71401 changed py3k setup.py to comment out the installation of the scripts for pydoc, idle, 2to5, and smtpd.py. This was in response to issue1590 noting that python3 should not overwrite python2 versions of the scripts. However, unless I'm missing something, this now means that *no* versions of these scripts are ever installed for python3; that's not a solution. (Note, this breaks Mac installer builds and probably breaks downstream unix packages as well.) As hinted at in issue1590, the most consistent option would be to install each of the scripts with a version number as is done with python itself. Whatever solution is chosen, some additional work will likely be needed in the Mac Makefile to do the right thing in the framework bin directory and in the Mac BuildScript/build-installer.py for the /usr/local/bin links. No idea about the effects on other platform builds. This also seems to be a change worthy of a NEWS item and doc changes. ---------- components: Build messages: 85973 nosy: nad severity: normal status: open title: idle pydoc et al removed from 3.1 without versioned replacements type: behavior versions: Python 3.1 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5756> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
