New submission from Ned Deily <n...@acm.org>:
On Python 3.1.2rc1 and py3k, "make install" results in two identical spurious
error messages:
Compiling /path/to/lib/python3.1/lib2to3/tests/data/bom.py ...
*** File "/usr/local/lib/python3.1/lib2to3/tests/data/bom.py", line 1
# coding: utf-8
^
SyntaxError: invalid character in identifier
The messages are triggered by the libinstall Makefile which calls compileall
twice to generate .pyc and .pyo files for all modules in the installed library.
compileall uses py_compile which, due to the problem documented in Issue8168,
stumbles over the lib2to3 data file bom.py. While fixing that issue would make
this problem go away, it seems like it would be better to avoid compiling the
lib2to3 test files altogether. Modifying the '-x" regexp on the two relevant
calls to compileall in Makefile.pre.in accomplishes this:
-x
'bad_coding|badsyntax|site-packages|py2_test_grammar|crlf|different_encoding|lib2to3/tests'
\
A similar change should be considered for trunk and 2.6 as well.
