I'm curious about this bit of code from Lib/distutils/sysconfig.py:
,-----------------------------------------------------------------------
| # python_build: (Boolean) if true, we're either building Python or
| # building an extension with an un-installed Python, so we use
| # different (hard-wired) directories.
|
| argv0_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(sys.executable))
| landmark = os.path.join(argv0_path, "Modules", "Setup")
| if not os.path.isfile(landmark):
| python_build = 0
| elif os.path.isfile(os.path.join(argv0_path, "Lib", "os.py")):
| python_build = 1
| else:
| python_build = os.path.isfile(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(argv0_path),
| "Lib", "os.py"))
| del argv0_path, landmark
`-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, curious is a bit weak. It's broken, and breaks (eg) the snake
farm's builds (because that is set up to build python in a directory
far away and over the hills from the source directory).
Why isn't it just
,-----------------------------------------------------------------------
| # python_build: (Boolean) if true, we're either building Python or
| # building an extension with an un-installed Python, so we use
| # different (hard-wired) directories.
|
| argv0_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(sys.executable))
| landmark = os.path.join(argv0_path, "Modules", "Setup")
|
| python_build = os.path.isfile(landmark):
|
| del argv0_path, landmark
`-----------------------------------------------------------------------
? What cases does that get wrong? I'd have changed it already, but I
have this feeling I must be missing something.
Cheers,
M.
