* Fixed ``win32.exe`` support for .pth files, so unnecessary directory nesting
|

is flattened out in the resulting egg. (There was a case-sensitivity
|

specified directory is not a source package.

* Fixed HTTP SVN detection failing when the page title included a project

* Fix Jython script installation to handle ``#!`` lines better when

``sys.executable`` is a script.
|

|
||||
|
||||
* Added exhaustive testing of the install directory, including a spawn test
|
||||
for ``.pth`` file support, and directory writability/existence checks. This
|
||||
should virtually eliminate the need to set or configure ``--site-dirs``.
|

|

* Added ``--prefix`` option for more do-what-I-mean-ishness in the absence of
|
||||
RTFM-ing. :)
|
||||
|
||||
* Enhanced ``PYTHONPATH`` support so that you don't have to put any eggs on it
|
||||
manually to make it work. ``--multi-version`` is no longer a silent
|
||||
default; you must explicitly use it if installing to a non-PYTHONPATH,
|
||||
non-"site" directory.
|
||||
|
||||
* Expand ``$variables`` used in the ``--site-dirs``, ``--build-directory``,
|
||||
``--install-dir``, and ``--script-dir`` options, whether on the command line
|
||||
or in configuration files.
|
||||
|
||||
* Improved SourceForge mirror processing to work faster and be less affected
|
||||
by transient HTML changes made by SourceForge.
|
||||
|
||||
* PyPI searches now use the exact spelling of requirements specified on the
|
||||
command line or in a project's ``install_requires``. Previously, a
|
||||
normalized form of the name was used, which could lead to unnecessary
|
||||
full-index searches when a project's name had an underscore (``_``) in it.
|
||||
|
||||
* EasyInstall can now download bare ``.py`` files and wrap them in an egg,
|
||||
as long as you include an ``#egg=name-version`` suffix on the URL, or if
|
||||
the ``.py`` file is listed as the "Download URL" on the project's PyPI page.
|
||||
This allows third parties to "package" trivial Python modules just by
|
||||
linking to them (e.g. from within their own PyPI page or download links
|
||||
page).
|
||||
|
||||
* The ``--always-copy`` option now skips "system" and "development" eggs since
|
||||
they can't be reliably copied. Note that this may cause EasyInstall to
|
||||
choose an older version of a package than what you expected, or it may cause
|
||||
downloading and installation of a fresh version of what's already installed.
|
||||
|
||||
* The ``--find-links`` option previously scanned all supplied URLs and
|
||||
directories as early as possible, but now only directories and direct
|
||||
archive links are scanned immediately. URLs are not retrieved unless a
|
||||
package search was already going to go online due to a package not being
|
||||
available locally, or due to the use of the ``--update`` or ``-U`` option.
|

* EasyInstall now recognizes URLs with a ``#egg=project_name`` fragment ID

used if they have a higher version number than any other available
|

distribution, or if you use the ``--editable`` option. The ``#egg``
|

fragment can contain a version if it's formatted as ``#egg=proj-ver``,
|

where ``proj`` is the project name, and ``ver`` is the version number. You
|

*must* use the format for these values that the ``bdist_egg`` command uses;

protocol), those links will inherit the credentials used to access the

unspecified encoding when the script is run.

* Fix not recognizing HTML 404 pages from package indexes.
|
||||
|
||||
* Allow ``file://`` URLs to be used as a package index. URLs that refer to
|
||||
directories will use an internally-generated directory listing if there is
|
||||
no ``index.html`` file in the directory.
|
||||
|
||||
* Allow external links in a package index to be specified using
|
||||
``rel="homepage"`` or ``rel="download"``, without needing the old
|
||||
PyPI-specific visible markup.
|
||||
|

|
||||
or link for that project name has already been seen.

|
||||
directories.
|
||||

* Fix mysterious errors during initial ``setuptools`` install, caused by

|

``PYTHONPATH`` directory with ``--multi-version``, unless an

|
||||
|
||||
* Construct ``.pth`` file paths in such a way that installing an egg whose
|
||||
name begins with ``import`` doesn't cause a syntax error.
|
||||
|
||||
* Fixed a bogus warning message that wasn't updated since the 0.5 versions.
|
||||
|
||||
0.6b1
|
||||
* Better ambiguity management: accept ``#egg`` name/version even if processing
|
||||
what appears to be a correctly-named distutils file, and ignore ``.egg``
|
||||
files with no ``-``, since valid Python ``.egg`` files always have a version
|
||||
number (but Scheme eggs often don't).
|
||||
|
||||
* Support ``file://`` links to directories in ``--find-links``, so that
|
||||
easy_install can build packages from local source checkouts.
|
||||
|
||||
* Added automatic retry for Sourceforge mirrors. The new download process is
|
||||
to first just try dl.sourceforge.net, then randomly select mirror IPs and
|
||||
remove ones that fail, until something works. The removed IPs stay removed
|
||||
for the remainder of the run.
|
||||
|
||||
* Ignore bdist_dumb distributions when looking at download URLs.
|
||||
|
||||
0.6a11
|
||||
* Process ``dependency_links.txt`` if found in a distribution, by adding the
|
||||
URLs to the list for scanning.
|
||||
|
||||
* Use relative paths in ``.pth`` files when eggs are being installed to the
|
||||
same directory as the ``.pth`` file. This maximizes portability of the
|
||||
target directory when building applications that contain eggs.
|
||||
|
||||
* Added ``easy_install-N.N`` script(s) for convenience when using multiple
|
||||
Python versions.
|
||||
|
||||
* Added automatic handling of installation conflicts. Eggs are now shifted to
|
||||
the front of sys.path, in an order consistent with where they came from,
|
||||
making EasyInstall seamlessly co-operate with system package managers.
|
||||
|
||||
The ``--delete-conflicting`` and ``--ignore-conflicts-at-my-risk`` options
|
||||
are now no longer necessary, and will generate warnings at the end of a
|
||||
run if you use them.
|
||||
|
||||
* Don't recursively traverse subdirectories given to ``--find-links``.
|
||||
|
||||
0.6a10
|
||||
* Added exhaustive testing of the install directory, including a spawn test
|
||||
for ``.pth`` file support, and directory writability/existence checks. This
|
||||
should virtually eliminate the need to set or configure ``--site-dirs``.
|
||||
|
||||
* Added ``--prefix`` option for more do-what-I-mean-ishness in the absence of
|
||||
RTFM-ing. :)
|
||||
|
||||
* Enhanced ``PYTHONPATH`` support so that you don't have to put any eggs on it
|
||||
manually to make it work. ``--multi-version`` is no longer a silent
|
||||
default; you must explicitly use it if installing to a non-PYTHONPATH,
|
||||
non-"site" directory.
|
||||
|
||||
* Expand ``$variables`` used in the ``--site-dirs``, ``--build-directory``,
|
||||
``--install-dir``, and ``--script-dir`` options, whether on the command line
|
||||
or in configuration files.
|
||||
|
||||
* Improved SourceForge mirror processing to work faster and be less affected
|
||||
by transient HTML changes made by SourceForge.
|
||||
|
||||
* PyPI searches now use the exact spelling of requirements specified on the
|
||||
command line or in a project's ``install_requires``. Previously, a
|
||||
normalized form of the name was used, which could lead to unnecessary
|
||||
full-index searches when a project's name had an underscore (``_``) in it.
|
||||
|
||||
* EasyInstall can now download bare ``.py`` files and wrap them in an egg,
|
||||
as long as you include an ``#egg=name-version`` suffix on the URL, or if
|
||||
the ``.py`` file is listed as the "Download URL" on the project's PyPI page.
|
||||
This allows third parties to "package" trivial Python modules just by
|
||||
linking to them (e.g. from within their own PyPI page or download links
|
||||
page).
|
||||
|
||||
* The ``--always-copy`` option now skips "system" and "development" eggs since
|
||||
they can't be reliably copied. Note that this may cause EasyInstall to
|
||||
choose an older version of a package than what you expected, or it may cause
|
||||
downloading and installation of a fresh version of what's already installed.
|
||||
|
||||
* The ``--find-links`` option previously scanned all supplied URLs and
|
||||
directories as early as possible, but now only directories and direct
|
||||
archive links are scanned immediately. URLs are not retrieved unless a
|
||||
package search was already going to go online due to a package not being
|
||||
available locally, or due to the use of the ``--update`` or ``-U`` option.
|
||||
|
||||
* Fixed the annoying ``--help-commands`` wart.
|
||||
|
||||
0.6a9
|
||||
* Fixed ``.pth`` file processing picking up nested eggs (i.e. ones inside
|
||||
"baskets") when they weren't explicitly listed in the ``.pth`` file.
|
||||
|
||||
* If more than one URL appears to describe the exact same distribution, prefer
|
||||
the shortest one. This helps to avoid "table of contents" CGI URLs like the
|
||||
ones on effbot.org.
|
||||
|
||||
* Quote arguments to python.exe (including python's path) to avoid problems
|
||||
when Python (or a script) is installed in a directory whose name contains
|
||||
spaces on Windows.
|
||||
|
||||
* Support full roundtrip translation of eggs to and from ``bdist_wininst``
|
||||
format. Running ``bdist_wininst`` on a setuptools-based package wraps the
|
||||
egg in an .exe that will safely install it as an egg (i.e., with metadata
|
||||
and entry-point wrapper scripts), and ``easy_install`` can turn the .exe
|
||||
back into an ``.egg`` file or directory and install it as such.
|
||||
|
||||
0.6a8
|
||||
* Update for changed SourceForge mirror format
|
||||
|
||||
* Fixed not installing dependencies for some packages fetched via Subversion
|

|
||||
* Fixed dependency installation with ``--always-copy`` not using the same
|
||||
dependency resolution procedure as other operations.
|
||||
|

* Fixed not fully removing temporary directories on Windows, if a Subversion
|

0.6a6
|
||||
* Added support for "traditional" PYTHONPATH-based non-root installation, and
|
||||
also the convenient ``virtual-python.py`` script, based on a contribution
|
||||
by Ian Bicking. The setuptools egg now contains a hacked ``site`` module
|
||||
that makes the PYTHONPATH-based approach work with .pth files, so that you
|
||||
can get the full EasyInstall feature set on such installations.
|
||||
|
||||
* Added ``--no-deps`` and ``--allow-hosts`` options.
|
||||
|
||||
* Improved Windows ``.exe`` script wrappers so that the script can have the
|
||||
same name as a module without confusing Python.
|
||||
|
||||
* Changed dependency processing so that it's breadth-first, allowing a
|
||||
depender's preferences to override those of a dependee, to prevent conflicts
|
||||
when a lower version is acceptable to the dependee, but not the depender.
|
||||
Also, ensure that currently installed/selected packages aren't given
|
||||
precedence over ones desired by a package being installed, which could
|
||||
cause conflict errors.
|
||||
|
||||
0.6a3
|
||||
* Improved error message when trying to use old ways of running
|
||||
``easy_install``. Removed the ability to run via ``python -m`` or by
|
||||
running ``easy_install.py``; ``easy_install`` is the command to run on all
|
||||
supported platforms.
|
||||
|
||||
* Improved wrapper script generation and runtime initialization so that a
|
||||
VersionConflict doesn't occur if you later install a competing version of a
|
||||
needed package as the default version of that package.
|
||||
|
||||
* Fixed a problem parsing version numbers in ``#egg=`` links.
|
||||
|
||||
0.6a2
|
||||
* EasyInstall can now install "console_scripts" defined by packages that use
|
||||
``setuptools`` and define appropriate entry points. On Windows, console
|
||||
scripts get an ``.exe`` wrapper so you can just type their name. On other
|
||||
platforms, the scripts are installed without a file extension.
|
||||
|
||||
* Using ``python -m easy_install`` or running ``easy_install.py`` is now
|
||||
DEPRECATED, since an ``easy_install`` wrapper is now available on all
|
||||
platforms.
|
||||
|
||||
0.6a1
|
||||
* EasyInstall now does MD5 validation of downloads from PyPI, or from any link
|
||||
that has an "#md5=..." trailer with a 32-digit lowercase hex md5 digest.
|
||||
|
||||
* EasyInstall now handles symlinks in target directories by removing the link,
|
||||
rather than attempting to overwrite the link's destination. This makes it
|
||||
easier to set up an alternate Python "home" directory (as described above in
|
||||
the `Non-Root Installation`_ section).
|
||||
|
||||
* Added support for handling MacOS platform information in ``.egg`` filenames,
|
||||
based on a contribution by Kevin Dangoor. You may wish to delete and
|
||||
reinstall any eggs whose filename includes "darwin" and "Power_Macintosh",
|
||||
because the format for this platform information has changed so that minor
|
||||
OS X upgrades (such as 10.4.1 to 10.4.2) do not cause eggs built with a
|
||||
previous OS version to become obsolete.
|
||||
|
||||
* easy_install's dependency processing algorithms have changed. When using
|
||||
``--always-copy``, it now ensures that dependencies are copied too. When
|
||||
not using ``--always-copy``, it tries to use a single resolution loop,
|
||||
rather than recursing.
|
||||
|
||||
* Fixed installing extra ``.pyc`` or ``.pyo`` files for scripts with ``.py``
|
||||
extensions.
|
||||
|
||||
* Added ``--site-dirs`` option to allow adding custom "site" directories.
|
||||
Made ``easy-install.pth`` work in platform-specific alternate site
|
||||
directories (e.g. ``~/Library/Python/2.x/site-packages`` on Mac OS X).
|
||||
|
||||
* If you manually delete the current version of a package, the next run of
|
||||
EasyInstall against the target directory will now remove the stray entry
|
||||
from the ``easy-install.pth`` file.
|
||||
|
||||
* EasyInstall now recognizes URLs with a ``#egg=project_name`` fragment ID
|
||||
as pointing to the named project's source checkout. Such URLs have a lower
|
||||
match precedence than any other kind of distribution, so they'll only be
|
||||
used if they have a higher version number than any other available
|
||||
distribution, or if you use the ``--editable`` option. The ``#egg``
|
||||
fragment can contain a version if it's formatted as ``#egg=proj-ver``,
|
||||
where ``proj`` is the project name, and ``ver`` is the version number. You
|
||||
*must* use the format for these values that the ``bdist_egg`` command uses;
|
||||
i.e., all non-alphanumeric runs must be condensed to single underscore
|
||||
characters.
|
||||
|
||||
* Added the ``--editable`` option; see `Editing and Viewing Source Packages`_
|
||||
above for more info. Also, slightly changed the behavior of the
|
||||
``--build-directory`` option.
|
||||
|
||||
* Fixed the setup script sandbox facility not recognizing certain paths as
|
||||
valid on case-insensitive platforms.
|
||||
|
||||
0.5a12
|
||||
* Fix ``python -m easy_install`` not working due to setuptools being installed
|
||||
as a zipfile. Update safety scanner to check for modules that might be used
|
||||
as ``python -m`` scripts.
|
||||
|
||||
* Misc. fixes for win32.exe support, including changes to support Python 2.4's
|
||||
changed ``bdist_wininst`` format.
|
||||
|
||||
0.5a10
|
||||
* Put the ``easy_install`` module back in as a module, as it's needed for
|
||||
``python -m`` to run it!
|
||||
|
||||
* Allow ``--find-links/-f`` to accept local directories or filenames as well
|
||||
as URLs.
|
||||
|
||||
0.5a9
|
||||
* EasyInstall now automatically detects when an "unmanaged" package or
|
||||
module is going to be on ``sys.path`` ahead of a package you're installing,
|
||||
thereby preventing the newer version from being imported. By default, it
|
||||
will abort installation to alert you of the problem, but there are also
|
||||
new options (``--delete-conflicting`` and ``--ignore-conflicts-at-my-risk``)
|
||||
available to change the default behavior. (Note: this new feature doesn't
|
||||
take effect for egg files that were built with older ``setuptools``
|
||||
versions, because they lack the new metadata file required to implement it.)
|
||||
|
||||
* The ``easy_install`` distutils command now uses ``DistutilsError`` as its
|
||||
base error type for errors that should just issue a message to stderr and
|
||||
exit the program without a traceback.
|
||||
|
||||
* EasyInstall can now be given a path to a directory containing a setup
|
||||
script, and it will attempt to build and install the package there.
|
||||
|
||||
* EasyInstall now performs a safety analysis on module contents to determine
|
||||
whether a package is likely to run in zipped form, and displays
|
||||
information about what modules may be doing introspection that would break
|
||||
when running as a zipfile.
|
||||
|
||||
* Added the ``--always-unzip/-Z`` option, to force unzipping of packages that
|
||||
would ordinarily be considered safe to unzip, and changed the meaning of
|
||||
``--zip-ok/-z`` to "always leave everything zipped".
|
||||
|
||||
0.5a8
|
||||
* There is now a separate documentation page for `setuptools`_; revision
|
||||
history that's not specific to EasyInstall has been moved to that page.
|
||||
|
||||
.. _setuptools: http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/setuptools
|
||||
|
||||
0.5a5
|
||||
* Made ``easy_install`` a standard ``setuptools`` command, moving it from
|
||||
the ``easy_install`` module to ``setuptools.command.easy_install``. Note
|
||||
that if you were importing or extending it, you must now change your imports
|
||||
accordingly. ``easy_install.py`` is still installed as a script, but not as
|
||||
a module.
|
||||
|
||||
0.5a4
|
||||
* Added ``--always-copy/-a`` option to always copy needed packages to the
|
||||
installation directory, even if they're already present elsewhere on
|
||||
sys.path. (In previous versions, this was the default behavior, but now
|
||||
you must request it.)
|
||||
|
||||
* Added ``--upgrade/-U`` option to force checking PyPI for latest available
|
||||
version(s) of all packages requested by name and version, even if a matching
|
||||
version is available locally.
|
||||
|
||||
* Added automatic installation of dependencies declared by a distribution
|
||||
being installed. These dependencies must be listed in the distribution's
|
||||
``EGG-INFO`` directory, so the distribution has to have declared its
|
||||
dependencies by using setuptools. If a package has requirements it didn't
|
||||
declare, you'll still have to deal with them yourself. (E.g., by asking
|
||||
EasyInstall to find and install them.)
|
||||
|
||||
* Added the ``--record`` option to ``easy_install`` for the benefit of tools
|
||||
that run ``setup.py install --record=filename`` on behalf of another
|
||||
packaging system.)
|
||||
|
||||
0.5a3
|
||||
* Fixed not setting script permissions to allow execution.
|
||||
|
||||
* Improved sandboxing so that setup scripts that want a temporary directory
|
||||
(e.g. pychecker) can still run in the sandbox.
|
||||
|
||||
0.5a2
|
||||
* Fix stupid stupid refactoring-at-the-last-minute typos. :(
|
||||
|
||||
0.5a1
|
||||
* Added support for converting ``.win32.exe`` installers to eggs on the fly.
|
||||
EasyInstall will now recognize such files by name and install them.
|
||||
|
||||
* Fixed a problem with picking the "best" version to install (versions were
|
||||
being sorted as strings, rather than as parsed values)
|
||||
|
||||
0.4a4
|
||||
* Added support for the distutils "verbose/quiet" and "dry-run" options, as
|
||||
well as the "optimize" flag.
|
||||
|
||||
* Support downloading packages that were uploaded to PyPI (by scanning all
|
||||
links on package pages, not just the homepage/download links).
|
||||
|
||||
0.4a3
|
||||
* Add progress messages to the search/download process so that you can tell
|
||||
what URLs it's reading to find download links. (Hopefully, this will help
|
||||
people report out-of-date and broken links to package authors, and to tell
|
||||
when they've asked for a package that doesn't exist.)
|
||||
|
||||
0.4a2
|
||||
* Added support for installing scripts
|
||||
|
||||
* Added support for setting options via distutils configuration files, and
|
||||
using distutils' default options as a basis for EasyInstall's defaults.
|
||||
|
||||
* Renamed ``--scan-url/-s`` to ``--find-links/-f`` to free up ``-s`` for the
|
||||
script installation directory option.
|
||||
|
||||
* Use ``urllib2`` instead of ``urllib``, to allow use of ``https:`` URLs if
|
||||
Python includes SSL support.
|
||||
|
||||
0.4a1
|
||||
* Added ``--scan-url`` and ``--index-url`` options, to scan download pages
|
||||
and search PyPI for needed packages.
|
||||
|
||||
0.3a4
|
||||
* Restrict ``--build-directory=DIR/-b DIR`` option to only be used with single
|
||||
URL installs, to avoid running the wrong setup.py.
|
||||
|
||||
0.3a3
|
||||
* Added ``--build-directory=DIR/-b DIR`` option.
|
||||
|
||||
* Added "installation report" that explains how to use 'require()' when doing
|
||||
a multiversion install or alternate installation directory.
|
||||
|
||||
* Added SourceForge mirror auto-select (Contributed by Ian Bicking)
|
||||
|
||||
* Added "sandboxing" that stops a setup script from running if it attempts to
|
||||
write to the filesystem outside of the build area
|
||||
|
||||
* Added more workarounds for packages with quirky ``install_data`` hacks
|
||||
|
||||
0.3a2
|
||||
* Added subversion download support for ``svn:`` and ``svn+`` URLs, as well as
|
||||
automatic recognition of HTTP subversion URLs (Contributed by Ian Bicking)
|
||||
|
||||
* Misc. bug fixes
|
||||
|
||||
0.3a1
|
||||
* Initial release.
