- #1608: Removed the conversion of dashes to underscores in the
extras_requireanddata_filesofsetup.cfgto support the usage of dashes. Method will warn users when they use a dash-separated key which in the future will only allow an underscore. Note: the method performs the dash to underscore conversion to preserve compatibility, but future versions will no longer support it -- by :user:`melissa-kun-li`
- #2582: Simplified build-from-source story by providing bootstrapping metadata in a separate egg-info directory. Build requirements no longer include setuptools itself. Sdist once again includes the pyproject.toml. Project can no longer be installed from source on pip 19.x, but install from source is still supported on pip < 19 and pip >= 20 and install from wheel is still supported with pip >= 9.

upload_docscommand. An html builder will be used. Note:upload_docsis deprecated for PyPi, but is supported for other sites -- by :user:`melissa-kun-li`
- #1527: Removed bootstrap script. Now Setuptools requires pip or another pep517-compliant builder such as 'build' to build. Now Setuptools can be installed from Github main branch.
- #2537: Remove fallback support for fetch_build_eggs using easy_install. Now pip is required for setup_requires to succeed.

- #2379: Travis CI test suite now tests against PPC64.
- #2413: Suppress EOF errors (and other exceptions) when importing lib2to3.
- #2368: In distutils, restore support for monkeypatched CCompiler.spawn per pypa/distutils#15.
- #2355: When pip is imported as part of a build, leave distutils patched.
- #2380: There are some setuptools specific changes in the
setuptools.command.bdist_rpmmodule that are no longer needed, because they are part of thebdist_rpmmodule in distutils in Python 3.5.0. Therefore, code was removed fromsetuptools.command.bdist_rpm.
- #2350: Setuptools reverts using the included distutils by default. Platform maintainers and system integrators and others are strongly encouraged to set
SETUPTOOLS_USE_DISTUTILS=localto help identify and work through the reported issues with distutils adoption, mainly to file issues and pull requests with pypa/distutils such that distutils performs as needed across every supported environment.
- #2363: Restore link_libpython support on Python 3.7 and earlier (see pypa/distutils#9).
- #2352: In distutils hack, use absolute import rather than relative to avoid bpo-30876.
- #2357: Restored Python 3.5 support in distutils.util for missing
subprocess._optim_args_from_interpreter_flags. - #2358: Restored AIX support on Python 3.8 and earlier.
- #2361: Add Python 3.10 support to _distutils_hack. Get the 'Loader' abstract class from importlib.abc rather than importlib.util.abc (alias removed in Python 3.10).
- #2232: Once again, Setuptools overrides the stdlib distutils on import. For environments or invocations where this behavior is undesirable, users are provided with a temporary escape hatch. If the environment variable
SETUPTOOLS_USE_DISTUTILSis set tostdlib, Setuptools will fall back to the legacy behavior. Use of this escape hatch is discouraged, but it is provided to ease the transition while proper fixes for edge cases can be addressed.
- #2334: In MSVC module, refine text in error message.
- #2129: In pkg_resources, no longer detect any pathname ending in .egg as a Python egg. Now the path must be an unpacked egg or a zip file.
- #2306: When running as a PEP 517 backend, setuptools does not try to install
setup_requiresitself. They are reported as build requirements for the frontend to install.
- #2310: Updated vendored packaging version to 20.4.
- #2300: Improve the
safe_versionfunction documentation
- #2297: Once again, in stubs prefer exec_module to the deprecated load_module.
- #2316: Removed warning when
distutilsis imported beforesetuptoolswhendistutilsreplacement is not enabled.
- #2259: Setuptools now provides a .pth file (except for editable installs of setuptools) to the target environment to ensure that when enabled, the setuptools-provided distutils is preferred before setuptools has been imported (and even if setuptools is never imported). Honors the SETUPTOOLS_USE_DISTUTILS environment variable.
- #2257: Fixed two flaws in distutils._msvccompiler.MSVCCompiler.spawn.
- #2230: Now warn the user when setuptools is imported after distutils modules have been loaded (exempting PyPy for 3.6), directing the users of packages to import setuptools first.
- #2212: (Distutils) Allow spawn to accept environment. Avoid monkey-patching global state.
- #2249: Fix extension loading technique in stubs.
- #2232: In preparation for re-enabling a local copy of distutils, Setuptools now honors an environment variable, SETUPTOOLS_USE_DISTUTILS. If set to 'stdlib' (current default), distutils will be used from the standard library. If set to 'local' (default in a imminent backward-incompatible release), the local copy of distutils will be used.
- #2094: Removed pkg_resources.py2_warn module, which is no longer reachable.
- #2228: Applied fix for pypa/distutils#3, restoring expectation that spawn will raise a DistutilsExecError when attempting to execute a missing file.
- #2228: Disabled distutils adoption for now while emergent issues are addressed.
- #2165: Setuptools no longer installs a site.py file during easy_install or develop installs. As a result, .eggs on PYTHONPATH will no longer take precedence over other packages on sys.path. If this issue affects your production environment, please reach out to the maintainers at #2165.
- #2137: Removed (private) pkg_resources.RequirementParseError, now replaced by packaging.requirements.InvalidRequirement. Kept the name for compatibility, but users should catch InvalidRequirement instead.
- #2180: Update vendored packaging in pkg_resources to 19.2.
- #2199: Fix exception causes all over the codebase by using
raise new_exception from old_exception
- #2143: Setuptools adopts distutils from the Python 3.9 standard library and no longer depends on distutils in the standard library. When importing
setuptoolsorsetuptools.distutils_patch, Setuptools will expose its bundled version as a top-leveldistutilspackage (and unload any previously-imported top-level distutils package), retaining the expectation thatdistutils' objects are actually Setuptools objects. To avoid getting any legacy behavior from the standard library, projects are advised to always "import setuptools" prior to importing anything from distutils. This behavior happens by default when usingpip installorpep517.build. Workflows that rely onsetup.py (anything)will need to first ensure setuptools is imported. One way to achieve this behavior without modifying code is to invoke Python thus:python -c "import setuptools; exec(open('setup.py').read())" (anything).
- #2071: Replaced references to the deprecated imp package with references to importlib
- #1973: Removed
pkg_resources.py31compat.makedirsin favor of the stdlib. Useos.makedirs()instead. - #2198: Restore
__requires__directive in easy-install wrapper scripts.

- #2158: Avoid loading working set during
Distribution.finalize_optionsprior to invoking_install_setup_requires, broken since v42.0.0.
- #2070: In wheel-to-egg conversion, use simple pkg_resources-style namespace declaration for packages that declare namespace_packages.
- #2094: Setuptools now actively crashes under Python 2. Python 3.5 or later is required. Users of Python 2 should use
setuptools<45.
- #1700: Document all supported keywords by migrating the ones from distutils.
- #1753:
attr:now extracts variables through rudimentary examination of the AST, thereby supporting modules with third-party imports. If examining the AST fails to find the variable,attr:falls back to the old behavior of importing the module. Works on Python 3 only.
No significant changes.
- #2089: Package index functionality no longer attempts to remove an md5 fragment from the index URL. This functionality, added for distribute #163 is no longer relevant.

- #1959: Fix for Python 4: replace unsafe six.PY3 with six.PY2
- #1908: Drop support for Python 3.4.

pyproject.tomlin source distribution by default. Projects relying on the previous behavior wherepyproject.tomlwas excluded by default should stop relying on that behavior or addexclude pyproject.tomlto their MANIFEST.in file.
- #1927: Setuptools once again declares 'setuptools' in the
build-system.requiresand adds PEP 517 build support by declaring itself as thebuild-backend. It additionally specifiesbuild-system.backend-pathto rely on itself for those builders that support it.

find-linksoption insetup.cfg. - #1922: Build dependencies (setup_requires and tests_require) now install transitive dependencies indicated by extras.
- #1918: Fix regression in handling wheels compatibility tags.
- #1830, #1909: Mark the easy_install script and setuptools command as deprecated, and use pip when available to fetch/build wheels for missing
setup_requires/tests_requirerequirements, with the following differences in behavior: - support for
python_requires - better support for wheels (proper handling of priority with respect to PEP 425 tags)
- PEP 517/518 support
- eggs are not supported
- no support for the
allow_hostseasy_install option (index_url/find_linksare still honored) - pip environment variables are honored (and take precedence over easy_install options)

- #1741: In package_index, now honor "current directory" during a checkout of git and hg repositories under Windows
- #1735: When parsing setup.cfg files, setuptools now requires the files to be encoded as UTF-8. Any other encoding will lead to a UnicodeDecodeError. This change removes support for specifying an encoding using a 'coding: ' directive in the header of the file, a feature that was introduces in 40.7. Given the recent release of the aforementioned feature, it is assumed that few if any projects are utilizing the feature to specify an encoding other than UTF-8.
- #1675: Added support for

build_meta:__legacy__backend, a "compatibility mode" PEP 517 backend that can be used as the default whenbuild-backendis left unspecified inpyproject.toml. - #1635: Resource paths are passed to
pkg_resources.resource_stringand similar no longer accept paths that traverse parents, that begin with a leading/. Violations of this expectation raise DeprecationWarnings and will become errors. Additionally, any paths that are absolute on Windows are strictly disallowed and will raise ValueErrors. - #1536:
setuptoolswill now automatically include licenses ifsetup.cfgcontains alicense_fileattribute, unless this file is manually excluded insideMANIFEST.in.
- #1670: In package_index, revert to using a copy of splituser from Python 3.8. Attempts to use
urllib.parse.urlparseled to problems as reported in #1663 and #1668. This change serves as an alternative to #1499 and fixes #1668.

pkg_resources.normalize_path, additional path normalization is now performed to ensure path values to a directory is always the same, preventing false positives when checking scripts have a consistent prefix to set up on Windows. - #1545: Changed the warning class of all deprecation warnings; deprecation warning classes are no longer derived from
DeprecationWarningand are thus visible by default. - #1554:
build_meta.build_sdistnow includessetup.pyin source distributions by default. - #1576: Started monkey-patching
get_metadata_versionandread_pkg_fileontodistutils.DistributionMetadatato retain the correct version on thePKG-INFOfile in the (deprecated)uploadcommand.

- #1481: Join the sdist
--dist-dirand thebuild_metasdist directory argument to point to the same target (meaning the build frontend no longer needs to clean manually the dist dir to avoid multiple sdist presence, and setuptools no longer needs to handle conflicts between the two).
- #1402: Fixed a bug with namespace packages under Python 3.6 when one package in current directory hides another which is installed.
- #1427: Set timestamp of
.egg-infodirectory wheneveregg_infocommand is run. - #1474:

- #1092:
pkg_resourcesnow usesinspect.getmroto resolve classes in method resolution order.
- #1102: Restore behavior for empty extras.
- #1099: Revert commit a3ec721, restoring intended purpose of extras as part of a requirement declaration.
- fix #1086
- fix #1087
- support extras specifiers in install_requires requirements
- #1081: Environment markers indicated in
install_requiresare now processed and treated as namelessextras_requirewith markers, allowing their metadata in requires.txt to be correctly generated. - #1053: Tagged commits are now released using Travis-CI build stages, meaning releases depend on passing tests on all supported Python versions (Linux) and not just the latest Python version.
- #1083: Correct
py31compat.makedirsto correctly honorexist_okparameter. - #1083: Also use makedirs compatibility throughout setuptools.
- #1083: Avoid race condition on directory creation in
pkg_resources.ensure_directory. - Removed deprecation of and restored support for
upload_docscommand for sites other than PyPI. Only warehouse is dropping support, but services like devpi continue to support docs built by setuptools' plugins. See this comment for more context on the motivation for this change.
- #1042: Fix import in py27compat module that still referenced six directly, rather than through the externs module (vendored packages hook).
- #980 and others: Once again, Setuptools vendors all of its dependencies. It seems to be the case that in the Python ecosystem, all build tools must run without any dependencies (build, runtime, or otherwise). At such a point that a mechanism exists that allows build tools to have dependencies, Setuptools will adopt it.
- #1015: Fix test failures on Python 3.7.
- #1024: Add workaround for Jython #2581 in monkey module.
- #992: Revert change introduced in v34.4.1, now considered invalid.
- #1016: Revert change introduced in v35.0.0 per #1014, referencing #436. The approach had unintended consequences, causing sdist installs to be missing files.
- #436: In egg_info.manifest_maker, no longer read the file list from the manifest file, and instead re-build it on each build. In this way, files removed from the specification will not linger in the manifest. As a result, any files manually added to the manifest will be removed on subsequent egg_info invocations. No projects should be manually adding files to the manifest and should instead use MANIFEST.in or SCM file finders to force inclusion of files in the manifest.
- #1008: In MSVC support, use always the last version available for Windows SDK and UCRT SDK.
- #1008: In MSVC support, fix "vcruntime140.dll" returned path with Visual Studio 2017.
- #992: In msvc.msvc9_query_vcvarsall, ensure the returned dicts have str values and not Unicode for compatibility with os.environ.
- #995: In MSVC support, add support for "Microsoft Visual Studio 2017" and "Microsoft Visual Studio Build Tools 2017".
- #999 via #1007: Extend support for declarative package
config in a setup.cfg file to include the options
python_requiresandpy_modules.
- #967 (and #997): Explicitly import submodules of packaging to account for environments where the imports of those submodules is not implied by other behavior.
- #993: Fix documentation upload by correcting rendering of content-type in _build_multipart on Python 3.
- #988: Trap
os.unlinksame asos.removeinauto_chmoderror handler. - #983: Fixes to invalid escape sequence deprecations on Python 3.6.
- #941: In the upload command, if the username is blank,
default to
getpass.getuser(). - #971: Correct distutils findall monkeypatch to match appropriate versions (namely Python 3.4.6).
- #966: Add support for reading dist-info metadata and thus locating Distributions from zip files.
- #968: Allow '+' and '!' in egg fragments so that it can take package names that contain PEP 440 conforming version specifiers.
- #953: More aggressively employ the compatibility issue originally added in #706.
- #930:
build_infonow accepts two new parameters to optimize and customize the building of C libraries.
- #947: Loosen restriction on the version of six required, restoring compatibility with environments relying on six 1.6.0 and later.
- #882: Ensure extras are honored when building the working set.
- #913: Fix issue in develop if package directory has a trailing slash.
- #935: Fix glob syntax in graft.
#581: Instead of vendoring the growing list of dependencies that Setuptools requires to function, Setuptools now requires these dependencies just like any other project. Unlike other projects, however, Setuptools cannot rely on
setup_requiresto demand the dependencies it needs to install because its own machinery would be necessary to pull those dependencies if not present (a bootstrapping problem). As a result, Setuptools no longer supports self upgrade or installation in the general case. Instead, users are directed to use pip to install and upgrade using thewheeldistributions of setuptools.Users are welcome to contrive other means to install or upgrade Setuptools using other means, such as pre-installing the Setuptools dependencies with pip or a bespoke bootstrap tool, but such usage is not recommended and is not supported.
As discovered in #940, not all versions of pip will successfully install Setuptools from its pre-built wheel. If you encounter issues with "No module named six" or "No module named packaging", especially following a line "Running setup.py egg_info for package setuptools", then your pip is not new enough.
There's an additional issue in pip where setuptools is upgraded concurrently with other source packages, described in pip #4253. The proposed workaround is to always upgrade Setuptools first prior to upgrading other packages that would upgrade Setuptools.
- #921: Correct issue where certifi fallback not being reached on Windows.
Installation via pip, as indicated in the Python Packaging User's Guide, is the officially-supported mechanism for installing Setuptools, and this recommendation is now explicit in the much more concise README.
Other edits and tweaks were made to the documentation. The codebase is unchanged.
- #619: Removed support for the
tag_svn_revisiondistribution option. If Subversion tagging support is still desired, consider adding the functionality to setuptools_svn in setuptools_svn #2.
- #866: Use
dis.Bytecodeon Python 3.4 and later insetuptools.depends.
- #889: Backport proposed fix for disabling interpolation in distutils.Distribution.parse_config_files.
- #884: Restore support for running the tests under pytest-runner by ensuring that PYTHONPATH is honored in tests invoking a subprocess.
- #706: Add rmtree compatibility shim for environments where rmtree fails when passed a unicode string.
- #893: Only release sdist in zip format as warehouse now disallows releasing two different formats.
- #704: More selectively ensure that 'rmtree' is not invoked with a byte string, enabling it to remove files that are non-ascii, even on Python 2.
- #712: In 'sandbox.run_setup', ensure that
__file__is always astr, modeling the behavior observed by the interpreter when invoking scripts and modules.
- #891: In 'test' command on test failure, raise DistutilsError, suppression invocation of subsequent commands.
- #890: Revert #849.
global-exclude .foowill not match all*.foofiles any more. Package authors must add an explicit wildcard, such asglobal-exclude *.foo, to match all.foofiles. See #886, #849.
- #885: Fix regression where 'pkg_resources._rebuild_mod_path' would fail when a namespace package's '__path__' was not a list with a sort attribute.
- #250: Install '-nspkg.pth' files for packages installed with 'setup.py develop'. These .pth files allow namespace packages installed by pip or develop to co-mingle. This change required the removal of the change for #805 and pip #1924, introduced in 28.3.0 and implicated in #870, but means that namespace packages not in a site packages directory will no longer work on Python earlier than 3.5, whereas before they would work on Python not earlier than 3.3.
- #879: For declarative config:
- read_configuration() now accepts ignore_option_errors argument. This allows scraping tools to read metadata without a need to download entire packages. E.g. we can gather some stats right from GitHub repos just by downloading setup.cfg.
- packages find: directive now supports fine tuning from a subsection. The same arguments as for find() are accepted.
- #394 via #862: Added support for declarative package config in a setup.cfg file.
- #850: In test command, invoke unittest.main with indication not to exit the process.
- #854: Bump to vendored Packaging 16.8.
- #846: Also trap 'socket.error' when opening URLs in package_index.
- #849: Manifest processing now matches the filename pattern anywhere in the filename and not just at the start. Restores behavior found prior to 28.5.0.
- #864: Drop support for Python 3.2. Systems requiring Python 3.2 support must use 'setuptools < 30'.
- #825: Suppress warnings for single files.
- #830 via #843: Once again restored inclusion of data files to sdists, but now trap TypeError caused by techniques employed rjsmin and similar.
- #861: Re-release of v29.0.1 with the executable script launchers bundled. Now, launchers are included by default and users that want to disable this behavior must set the environment variable 'SETUPTOOLS_INSTALL_WINDOWS_SPECIFIC_FILES' to a false value like "false" or "0".
- #841: Drop special exception for packages invoking win32com during the build/install process. See Distribute #118 for history.
- #629: Per the discussion, refine the sorting to use version value order for more accurate detection of the latest available version when scanning for packages. See also #829.
- #837: Rely on the config var "SO" for Python 3.3.0 only when determining the ext filename.
- #827: Update PyPI root for dependency links.
- #833: Backed out changes from #830 as the implementation seems to have problems in some cases.
- #832: Moved much of the namespace package handling functionality into a separate module for re-use in something like #789.
- #830:
sdistcommand no longer suppresses the inclusion of data files, re-aligning with the expectation of distutils and addressing #274 and #521.
- #816: Fix manifest file list order in tests.
- #629: When scanning for packages,
pkg_resourcesnow ignores empty egg-info directories and gives precedence to packages whose versions are lexicographically greatest, a rough approximation for preferring the latest available version.
- #810: Tests are now invoked with tox and not setup.py test.
- #249 and #450 via #764: Avoid scanning the whole tree
when building the manifest. Also fixes a long-standing bug
where patterns in
MANIFEST.inhad implicit wildcard matching. This causedglobal-exclude .footo exclude all*.foofiles, but alsoglobal-exclude bar.pyto excludefoo_bar.py.
- #732: Now extras with a hyphen are honored per PEP 426.
- #811: Update to pyparsing 2.1.10.
- Updated
setuptools.command.sdistto re-use most of the functionality directly fromdistutils.command.sdistfor theadd_defaultsmethod with strategic overrides. See #750 for rationale. - #760 via #762: Look for certificate bundle where SUSE
Linux typically presents it. Use
certifi.where()to locate the bundle.
- #809: In
find_packages(), restore support for excluding a parent package without excluding a child package. - #805: Disable
-nspkg.pthbehavior on Python 3.3+ where PEP-420 functionality is adequate. Fixes pip #1924.
- #803: Bump certifi to 2016.9.26.
- #733: Do not search excluded directories for packages.
This introduced a backwards incompatible change in
find_packages()so thatfind_packages(exclude=['foo']) == [], excluding subpackages offoo. Previously,find_packages(exclude=['foo']) == ['foo.bar'], even though the parentfoopackage was excluded. - #795: Bump certifi.
- #719: Suppress decoding errors and instead log a warning when metadata cannot be decoded.
- #790: In MSVC monkeypatching, explicitly patch each
function by name in the target module instead of inferring
the module from the function's
__module__. Improves compatibility with other packages that might have previously patched distutils functions (i.e. NumPy).
- #794: In test command, add installed eggs to PYTHONPATH when invoking tests so that subprocesses will also have the dependencies available. Fixes tox 330.
- #795: Update vendored pyparsing 2.1.9.
- #520 and #513: Suppress ValueErrors in fixup_namespace_packages when lookup fails.
- Nicer, more consistent interfaces for msvc monkeypatching.
- #779 via #781: Fix circular import.
- #778: Fix MSVC monkeypatching.
- Introduce the (private)
monkeymodule to encapsulate the distutils monkeypatching behavior.
Now use Warehouse by default for
upload, patchingdistutils.config.PyPIRCCommandto affect default behavior.Any config in .pypirc should be updated to replace
with
Similarly, any passwords stored in the keyring should be updated to use this new value for "system".
The
upload_docscommand will continue to use the python.org site, but the command is now deprecated. Users are urged to use Read The Docs instead.#776: Use EXT_SUFFIX for py_limited_api renaming.
#774 and #775: Use LegacyVersion from packaging when detecting numpy versions.
- Re-release of 26.1.0 with pytest pinned to allow for automated deployment and thus proper packaging environment variables, fixing issues with missing executable launchers.
- #763:
pkg_resources.get_default_cachenow defers to the appdirs project to resolve the cache directory. Adds a vendored dependency on appdirs to pkg_resources.
- #748: By default, sdists are now produced in gzipped tarfile format by default on all platforms, adding forward compatibility for the same behavior in Python 3.6 (See Python #27819).
- #459 via #736: On Windows with script launchers, sys.argv[0] now reflects the name of the entry point, consistent with the behavior in distlib and pip wrappers.
- #752 via #753: When indicating
py_limited_apito Extension, it must be passed as a keyword argument.
- Add Extension(py_limited_api=True). When set to a truthy value, that extension gets a filename appropriate for code using Py_LIMITED_API. When used correctly this allows a single compiled extension to work on all future versions of CPython 3. The py_limited_api argument only controls the filename. To be compatible with multiple versions of Python 3, the C extension will also need to set -DPy_LIMITED_API=... and be modified to use only the functions in the limited API.
- #739 Fix unquoted libpaths by fixing compatibility between
numpy.distutilsanddistutils._msvccompilerfor numpy < 1.11.2 (Fix issue #728, error also fixed in Numpy). - #731: Bump certifi.
- Style updates. See #740, #741, #743, #744, #742, #747.
- #735: include license file.
- #612 via #730: Add a LICENSE file which needs to be provided by the terms of the MIT license.

- #717
- #713
- #707: Fix Python 2 compatibility for MSVC by catching errors properly.
- #715: Fix unquoted libpaths by patching
library_dir_option.
- #714 and #704: Revert fix as it breaks other components downstream that can't handle unicode. See #709, #710, and #712.
- #704: Fix errors when installing a zip sdist that contained files named with non-ascii characters on Windows would crash the install when it attempted to clean up the build.
- #646: MSVC compatibility - catch errors properly in RegistryInfo.lookup.
- #702: Prevent UnboundLocalError when initial working_set is empty.
- #686: Fix issue in sys.path ordering by pkg_resources when rewrite technique is "raw".
- #699: Fix typo in msvc support.
- #609: Setuptools will now try to download a distribution from
the next possible download location if the first download fails.
This means you can now specify multiple links as
dependency_linksand all links will be tried until a working download link is encountered.
- #688: Fix AttributeError in setup.py when invoked not from the current directory.
- Cleanup of setup.py script.
- Fixed documentation builders by allowing setup.py to be imported without having bootstrapped the metadata.
- More style cleanup. See #677, #678, #679, #681, #685.
#674: Default
sys.pathmanipulation by easy-install.pth is now "raw", meaning that when writing easy-install.pth during any install operation, thesys.pathwill not be rewritten and will no longer give preference to easy_installed packages.To retain the old behavior when using any easy_install operation (including
setup.py installwhen setuptools is present), set the environment variable:SETUPTOOLS_SYS_PATH_TECHNIQUE=rewrite
This project hopes that that few if any environments find it necessary to retain the old behavior, and intends to drop support for it altogether in a future release. Please report any relevant concerns in the ticket for this change.
- #398: Fix shebang handling on Windows in script
headers where spaces in
sys.executablewould produce an improperly-formatted shebang header, introduced in 12.0 with the fix for #188. - #663, #670: More style updates.
- #516: Disable
os.linkto avoid hard linking insdist.make_distribution, avoiding errors on systems that support hard links but not on the file system in which the build is occurring.
- #667: Update Metadata-Version to 1.2 when
python_requiresis supplied.
- #631: Add support for
python_requireskeyword.

- Updated style in much of the codebase to match community expectations. See #632, #633, #634, #637, #639, #638, #642, #648.
- If MSVC++14 is needed
setuptools.msvcnow redirect user to Visual C++ Build Tools web page.
- #625 and #626: Fixes on
setuptools.msvcmainly for Python 2 and Linux.
- Pull Request #174: Add more aggressive support for standalone Microsoft Visual C++ compilers in msvc9compiler patch. Particularly : Windows SDK 6.1 and 7.0 (MSVC++ 9.0), Windows SDK 7.1 (MSVC++ 10.0), Visual C++ Build Tools 2015 (MSVC++14)

- BB Pull Request #185, #470: Add support for environment markers in requirements in install_requires, setup_requires, tests_require as well as adding a test for the existing extra_requires machinery.
- Issue #422: Moved hosting to Github from Bitbucket. Issues have been migrated, though all issues and comments are attributed to bb-migration. So if you have a particular issue or issues to which you've been subscribed, you will want to "watch" the equivalent issue in Github. The Bitbucket project will be retained for the indefinite future, but Github now hosts the canonical project repository.
- Issue #519: Remove import hook when reloading the
pkg_resourcesmodule. - BB Pull Request #184: Update documentation in
pkg_resourcesaround newRequirementimplementation.
- BB Pull Request #179:
pkg_resources.Requirementobjects are now a subclass ofpackaging.requirements.Requirement, allowing any environment markers and url (if any) to be affiliated with the requirement - BB Pull Request #179: Restore use of RequirementParseError exception unintentionally dropped in 20.2.
- Issue #502: Correct regression in parsing of multiple version specifiers separated by commas and spaces.
- Issue #499: Restore compatibility for legacy versions by bumping to packaging 16.4.
Changelog now includes release dates and links to PEPs.
BB Pull Request #173: Replace dual PEP 345 _markerlib implementation and PEP 426 implementation of environment marker support from packaging 16.1 and PEP 508. Fixes Issue #122. See also BB Pull Request #175, BB Pull Request #168, and BB Pull Request #164. Additionally:
Requirement.parseno longer retains the order of extras.parse_requirementsnow requires that all versions be PEP-440 compliant, as revealed in #499. Packages released with invalid local versions should be re-released using the proper local version syntax, e.g.mypkg-1.0+myorg.1.
- Update
upload_docscommand to also honor keyring for password resolution.
- Added support for using passwords from keyring in the upload command. See the upload docs for details.
- Issue #118: Once again omit the package metadata (egg-info)
from the list of outputs in
--record. This version of setuptools can no longer be used to upgrade pip earlier than 6.0.
- Off-project PR: 0dcee79 and f9bd9b9 For FreeBSD, also honor root certificates from ca_root_nss.
- Issue #491: Correct regression incurred in 19.4 where a double-namespace package installed using pip would cause a TypeError.
- Restore compatibility for PyPy 3 compatibility lost in 19.4.1 addressing Issue #487.
setuptools.launchshim now loads scripts in a new namespace, avoiding getting relative imports from the setuptools package on Python 2.
Added a new entry script
setuptools.launch, implementing the shim found inpip.util.setuptools_build. Use this command to launch distutils-only packages under setuptools in the same way that pip does, causing the setuptools monkeypatching of distutils to be invoked prior to invoking a script. Useful for debugging or otherwise installing a distutils-only package under setuptools when pip isn't available or otherwise does not expose the desired functionality. For example:$ python -m setuptools.launch setup.py develop

- BB Pull Request #163: Add get_command_list method to Distribution.
- BB Pull Request #162: Add missing whitespace to multiline string literals.
- Issue #476: Cast version to string (using default encoding) to avoid creating Unicode types on Python 2 clients.
- Issue #477: In Powershell downloader, use explicit rendering
of strings, rather than rely on
repr, which can be incorrect (especially on Python 2).
- Issue #215: The bootstrap script
ez_setup.pynow automatically detects the latest version of setuptools (using PyPI JSON API) rather than hard-coding a particular value. - Issue #475: Fix incorrect usage in _translate_metadata2.
- Issue #442: Use RawConfigParser for parsing .pypirc file. Interpolated values are no longer honored in .pypirc files.

- Correct another regression in setuptools.findall where the fix for Python #12885 was lost.
- Issue #425: Correct regression in setuptools.findall.
BB Pull Request #135: Setuptools now allows disabling of the manipulation of the sys.path during the processing of the easy-install.pth file. To do so, set the environment variable
SETUPTOOLS_SYS_PATH_TECHNIQUEto anything but "rewrite" (consider "raw"). During any install operation with manipulation disabled, setuptools packages will be appended to sys.path naturally.Future versions may change the default behavior to disable manipulation. If so, the default behavior can be retained by setting the variable to "rewrite".
Issue #257:
easy_install --versionnow shows more detail about the installation location and Python version.Refactor setuptools.findall in preparation for re-submission back to distutils.
- Issue #412: More efficient directory search in
find_packages.
- Upgrade to vendored packaging 15.3.
- Issue #401: Fix failure in test suite.
Dropped support for builds with Pyrex. Only Cython is supported.
Issue #288: Detect Cython later in the build process, after
setup_requiresdependencies are resolved. Projects backed by Cython can now be readily built with asetup_requiresdependency. For example:ext = setuptools.Extension('mylib', ['src/CythonStuff.pyx', 'src/CStuff.c']) setuptools.setup( ... ext_modules=[ext], setup_requires=['cython'], )For compatibility with older versions of setuptools, packagers should still include
src/CythonMod.cin the source distributions or require that Cython be present before building source distributions. However, for systems with this build of setuptools, Cython will be downloaded on demand.Issue #396: Fixed test failure on OS X.
BB Pull Request #136: Remove excessive quoting from shebang headers for Jython.
- Backed out unintended changes to pkg_resources, restoring removal of deprecated imp module (ref).
- Issue #380: Add support for range operators on environment marker evaluation.
- Issue #378: Do not use internal importlib._bootstrap module.

- BB Pull Request #130: Better error messages for errors in parsed requirements.
- BB Pull Request #133: Removed
setuptools.testsfrom the installed packages. - BB Pull Request #129: Address deprecation warning due to usage of imp module.
- Issue #373: Provisionally expose
pkg_resources._initialize_master_working_set, allowing for imperative re-initialization of the master working set.
- Updated to Packaging 15.1 to address Packaging #28.
- Fix
setuptools.sandbox._execfile()with Python 3.1.
BB Pull Request #126: DistributionNotFound message now lists the package or packages that required it. E.g.:
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'colorama>=0.3.1' distribution was not found and is required by smlib.log.
Note that zc.buildout once dependended on the string rendering of this message to determine the package that was not found. This expectation has since been changed, but older versions of buildout may experience problems. See Buildout #242 for details.
- Issue #307: Removed PEP-440 warning during parsing of versions
in
pkg_resources.Distribution. - Issue #364: Replace deprecated usage with recommended usage of
EntryPoint.load.
- Issue #254: When creating temporary egg cache on Unix, use mode 755 for creating the directory to avoid the subsequent warning if the directory is group writable.
- Issue #137: Update
Distribution.hashcmpso that Distributions with None for pyversion or platform can be compared against Distributions defining those attributes.
- Issue #360: Removed undesirable behavior from test runs, preventing write tests and installation to system site packages.
- BB Pull Request #125: Add
__ne__to Requirement class. - Various refactoring of easy_install.
- Bootstrap script now accepts
--to-dirto customize save directory or allow for re-use of existing repository of setuptools versions. See BB Pull Request #112 for background. - Issue #285:
easy_installno longer will default to installing packages to the "user site packages" directory if it is itself installed there. Instead, the user must pass--userin all cases to install packages to the user site packages. This behavior now matches that of "pip install". To configure an environment to always install to the user site packages, consider using the "install-dir" and "scripts-dir" parameters to easy_install through an appropriate distutils config file.
- Issue #359: Include pytest.ini in the sdist so invocation of py.test on the sdist honors the pytest configuration.
Re-release of 13.0. Intermittent connectivity issues caused the release process to fail and PyPI uploads no longer accept files for 13.0.
- Issue #356: Back out BB Pull Request #119 as it requires Setuptools 10 or later as the source during an upgrade.
- Removed build_py class from setup.py. According to 892f439d216e, this functionality was added to support upgrades from old Distribute versions, 0.6.5 and 0.6.6.
- BB Pull Request #119: Restore writing of
setup_requiresto metadata (previously added in 8.4 and removed in 9.0).
- Documentation is now linked using the rst.linker package.
- Fix
setuptools.command.easy_install.extract_wininst_cfg()with Python 2.6 and 2.7. - Issue #354. Added documentation on building setuptools documentation.
- Issue #345: Unload all modules under pkg_resources during
ez_setup.use_setuptools(). - Issue #336: Removed deprecation from
ez_setup.use_setuptools, as it is clearly still used by buildout's bootstrap.ez_setupremains deprecated for use by individual packages. - Simplified implementation of
ez_setup.use_setuptools.
- BB Pull Request #118: Soften warning for non-normalized versions in Distribution.
- Issue #339: Correct Attribute reference in
cant_write_to_target. - Issue #336: Deprecated
ez_setup.use_setuptools.
- Issue #335: Fix script header generation on Windows.
- Fixed incorrect class attribute in
install_scripts. Tests would be nice.
- Issue #331: Fixed
install_scriptscommand on Windows systems corrupting the header.
- Restore
setuptools.command.easy_install.sys_executablefor pbr compatibility. For the future, tools should construct a CommandSpec explicitly.
- Issue #188: Setuptools now support multiple entities in the value for
build.executable, such that an executable of "/usr/bin/env my-python" may be specified. This means that systems with a specified executable whose name has spaces in the path must be updated to escape or quote that value. - Deprecated
easy_install.ScriptWriter.get_writer, replaced by.best()with slightly different semantics (no force_windows flag).
- Issue #327: Formalize and restore support for any printable character in an entry point name.
Expose
EntryPoint.resolvein place of EntryPoint._load, implementing the simple, non-requiring load. Deprecated all uses ofEntryPoint._loadexcept for calling with no parameters, which is just a shortcut forep.require(); ep.resolve();.Apps currently invoking
ep.load(require=False)should instead do the following if wanting to avoid the deprecating warning:getattr(ep, "resolve", lambda: ep.load(require=False))()
- Pip #2326: Report deprecation warning at stacklevel 2 for easier diagnosis.
- Issue #281: Since Setuptools 6.1 (Issue #268), a ValueError would be raised
in certain cases where VersionConflict was raised with two arguments, which
occurred in
pkg_resources.WorkingSet.find. This release adds support for indicating the dependent packages while maintaining support for a VersionConflict when no dependent package context is known. New unit tests now capture the expected interface.
- Interop #3: Upgrade to Packaging 15.0; updates to PEP 440 so that >1.7 does not exclude 1.7.1 but does exclude 1.7.0 and 1.7.0.post1.
- Issue #323: Fix regression in entry point name parsing.
- Deprecated use of EntryPoint.load(require=False). Passing a boolean to a
function to select behavior is an anti-pattern. Instead use
Entrypoint._load(). - Substantial refactoring of all unit tests. Tests are now much leaner and re-use a lot of fixtures and contexts for better clarity of purpose.
- Issue #320: Added a compatibility implementation of
sdist._default_revctrlso that systems relying on that interface do not fail (namely, Ubuntu 12.04 and similar Debian releases).
- Issue #319: Fixed issue installing pure distutils packages.
- Issue #313: Removed built-in support for subversion. Projects wishing to retain support for subversion will need to use a third party library. The extant implementation is being ported to setuptools_svn.
- Issue #315: Updated setuptools to hide its own loaded modules during installation of another package. This change will enable setuptools to upgrade (or downgrade) itself even when its own metadata and implementation change.
- Prefer vendored packaging library as recommended.
- Issue #312: Restored presence of pkg_resources API tests (doctest) to sdist.
- Issue #314: Disabled support for
setup_requiresmetadata to avoid issue where Setuptools was unable to upgrade over earlier versions.
- BB Pull Request #106: Now write
setup_requiresmetadata.
- Issue #311: Decoupled pkg_resources from setuptools once again.
pkg_resourcesis now a package instead of a module.
- Issue #306: Suppress warnings about Version format except in select scenarios (such as installation).
- BB Pull Request #85: Search egg-base when adding egg-info to manifest.
- Upgrade
packagingto 14.5, giving preference to "rc" as designator for release candidates over "c". - PEP-440 warnings are now raised as their own class,
pkg_resources.PEP440Warning, instead of RuntimeWarning. - Disabled warnings on empty versions.
- Upgrade
packagingto 14.4, fixing an error where there is a different result for if 2.0.5 is contained within >2.0dev and >2.0.dev even though normalization rules should have made them equal. - Issue #296: Add warning when a version is parsed as legacy. This warning will make it easier for developers to recognize deprecated version numbers.
- Issue #296: Restored support for
__hash__on parse_version results.
- Issue #296: Restored support for
__getitem__and sort operations on parse_version result.
- Issue #296: Restore support for iteration over parse_version result, but deprecated that usage with a warning. Fixes failure with buildout.
- Implement PEP 440 within
pkg_resources and setuptools. This change
deprecates some version numbers such that they will no longer be installable
without using the
===escape hatch. See the changes to test_resources for specific examples of version numbers and specifiers that are no longer supported. Setuptools now "vendors" the packaging library.
Issue #80, Issue #209: Eggs that are downloaded for
setup_requires,test_requires, etc. are now placed in a./.eggsdirectory instead of directly in the current directory. This choice of location means the files can be readily managed (removed, ignored). Additionally, later phases or invocations of setuptools will not detect the package as already installed and ignore it for permanent install (See #209).This change is indicated as backward-incompatible as installations that depend on the installation in the current directory will need to account for the new location. Systems that ignore
*.eggwill probably need to be adapted to ignore.eggs. The files will need to be manually moved or will be retrieved again. Most use cases will require no attention.
- Issue #268: When resolving package versions, a VersionConflict now reports which package previously required the conflicting version.
- Issue #262: Fixed regression in pip install due to egg-info directories being omitted. Re-opens Issue #118.
- Issue #259: Fixed regression with namespace package handling on
single version, externally managedinstalls.
Issue #100: When building a distribution, Setuptools will no longer match default files using platform-dependent case sensitivity, but rather will only match the files if their case matches exactly. As a result, on Windows and other case-insensitive file systems, files with names such as 'readme.txt' or 'README.TXT' will be omitted from the distribution and a warning will be issued indicating that 'README.txt' was not found. Other filenames affected are:
- README.rst
- README
- setup.cfg
- setup.py (or the script name)
- test/test*.py
Any users producing distributions with filenames that match those above case-insensitively, but not case-sensitively, should rename those files in their repository for better portability.
BB Pull Request #72: When using
single_version_externally_managed, the exclusion list now includes Python 3.2__pycache__entries.BB Pull Request #76 and BB Pull Request #78: lines in top_level.txt are now ordered deterministically.
Issue #118: The egg-info directory is now no longer included in the list of outputs.
Issue #258: Setuptools now patches distutils msvc9compiler to recognize the specially-packaged compiler package for easy extension module support on Python 2.6, 2.7, and 3.2.
- Issue #237:
pkg_resourcesnow uses explicit detection of Python 2 vs. Python 3, supporting environments where builtins have been patched to make Python 3 look more like Python 2.
- Issue #240: Based on real-world performance measures against 5.4, zip
manifests are now cached in all circumstances. The
PKG_RESOURCES_CACHE_ZIP_MANIFESTSenvironment variable is no longer relevant. The observed "memory increase" referenced in the 5.4 release notes and detailed in Issue #154 was likely not an increase over the status quo, but rather only an increase over not storing the zip info at all.
- Issue #242: Use absolute imports in svn_utils to avoid issues if the installing package adds an xml module to the path.
- Issue #239: Fix typo in 5.5 such that fix did not take.
- Issue #239: Setuptools now includes the setup_requires directive on Distribution objects and validates the syntax just like install_requires and tests_require directives.
- Issue #236: Corrected regression in execfile implementation for Python 2.6.
- Python #7776: (ssl_support) Correct usage of host for validation when tunneling for HTTPS.
- Issue #154:
pkg_resourceswill now cache the zip manifests rather than re-processing the same file from disk multiple times, but only if the environment variablePKG_RESOURCES_CACHE_ZIP_MANIFESTSis set. Clients that package many modules in the same zip file will see some improvement in startup time by enabling this feature. This feature is not enabled by default because it causes a substantial increase in memory usage.
- Issue #185: Make svn tagging work on the new style SVN metadata. Thanks cazabon!
- Prune revision control directories (e.g .svn) from base path as well as sub-directories.
- Added a Developer Guide to the official documentation.
- Some code refactoring and cleanup was done with no intended behavioral changes.
- During install_egg_info, the generated lines for namespace package .pth files are now processed even during a dry run.
- Issue #202: Implemented more robust cache invalidation for the ZipImporter, building on the work in Issue #168. Special thanks to Jurko Gospodnetic and PJE.
- Issue #220: Restored script templates.
- Renamed script templates to end with .tmpl now that they no longer need to be processed by 2to3. Fixes spurious syntax errors during build/install.
- Issue #218: Re-release of 3.8.1 to signal that it supersedes 4.x.
- Incidentally, script templates were updated not to include the triple-quote escaping.
- Issue #213: Use legacy StringIO behavior for compatibility under pbr.
- Issue #218: Setuptools 3.8.1 superseded 4.0.1, and 4.x was removed from the available versions to install.
- Issue #210:
setup.py developnow copies scripts in binary mode rather than text mode, matching the behavior of theinstallcommand.
- Extend Issue #197 workaround to include all Python 3 versions prior to 3.2.2.
- Issue #193: Improved handling of Unicode filenames when building manifests.
- Issue #203: Honor proxy settings for Powershell downloader in the bootstrap routine.
- Issue #168: More robust handling of replaced zip files and stale caches. Fixes ZipImportError complaining about a 'bad local header'.
- Issue #199: Restored
install._installfor compatibility with earlier NumPy versions.
- Issue #195: Follow symbolic links in find_packages (restoring behavior broken in 3.4).
- Issue #197: On Python 3.1, PKG-INFO is now saved in a UTF-8 encoding instead
of
sys.getpreferredencodingto match the behavior on Python 2.6-3.4. - Issue #192: Preferred bootstrap location is now https://bootstrap.pypa.io/ez_setup.py (mirrored from former location).
- Issue #184: Correct failure where find_package over-matched packages when directory traversal isn't short-circuited.
- Issue #183: Really fix test command with Python 3.1.
- Issue #183: Fix additional regression in test command on Python 3.1.
- Issue #180: Fix regression in test command not caught by py.test-run tests.
- Issue #176: Add parameter to the test command to support a custom test runner: --test-runner or -r.
- Issue #177: Now assume most common invocation to install command on platforms/environments without stack support (issuing a warning). Setuptools now installs naturally on IronPython. Behavior on CPython should be unchanged.
- Add
includeparameter tosetuptools.find_packages().
- BB Pull Request #39: Add support for C++ targets from Cython
.pyxfiles. - Issue #162: Update dependency on certifi to 1.0.1.
- Issue #164: Update dependency on wincertstore to 0.2.
- Issue #161: Restore Features functionality to allow backward compatibility (for Features) until the uses of that functionality is sufficiently removed.
- Correct typo in previous bugfix.
- Issue #157: Restore support for Python 2.6 in bootstrap script where
zipfile.ZipFiledoes not yet have support for context managers.
- Issue #125: Prevent Subversion support from creating a ~/.subversion directory just for checking the presence of a Subversion repository.
- Issue #12: Namespace packages are now imported lazily. That is, the mere
declaration of a namespace package in an egg on
sys.pathno longer causes it to be imported whenpkg_resourcesis imported. Note that this change means that all of a namespace package's__init__.pyfiles must include adeclare_namespace()call in order to ensure that they will be handled properly at runtime. In 2.x it was possible to get away without including the declaration, but only at the cost of forcing namespace packages to be imported early, which 3.0 no longer does. - Issue #148: When building (bdist_egg), setuptools no longer adds
__init__.pyfiles to namespace packages. Any packages that rely on this behavior will need to create__init__.pyfiles and include thedeclare_namespace(). - Issue #7: Setuptools itself is now distributed as a zip archive in addition to tar archive. ez_setup.py now uses zip archive. This approach avoids the potential security vulnerabilities presented by use of tar archives in ez_setup.py. It also leverages the security features added to ZipFile.extract in Python 2.7.4.
- Issue #65: Removed deprecated Features functionality.
- BB Pull Request #28: Remove backport of
_bytecode_filenameswhich is available in Python 2.6 and later, but also has better compatibility with Python 3 environments. - Issue #156: Fix spelling of __PYVENV_LAUNCHER__ variable.
- Issue #141: Restored fix for allowing setup_requires dependencies to override installed dependencies during setup.
- Issue #128: Fixed issue where only the first dependency link was honored in a distribution where multiple dependency links were supplied.
- Issue #144: Read long_description using codecs module to avoid errors installing on systems where LANG=C.
- Issue #139: Fix regression in re_finder for CVS repos (and maybe Git repos as well).
- Issue #129: Suppress inspection of
*.whlfiles when searching for files in a zip-imported file. - Issue #131: Fix RuntimeError when constructing an egg fetcher.
- Fix NameError during installation with Python implementations (e.g. Jython) not containing parser module.
- Fix NameError in
sdist:re_finder.
- Issue #124: Fixed error in list detection in upload_docs.
- Issue #121: Exempt lib2to3 pickled grammars from DirectorySandbox.
- Issue #41: Dropped support for Python 2.4 and Python 2.5. Clients requiring setuptools for those versions of Python should use setuptools 1.x.
- Removed
setuptools.command.easy_install.HAS_USER_SITE. Clients expecting this boolean variable should usesite.ENABLE_USER_SITEinstead. - Removed
pkg_resources.ImpWrapper. Clients that expected this class should usepkgutil.ImpImporterinstead.
- Issue #116: Correct TypeError when reading a local package index on Python 3.
Issue #114: Use
sys.getfilesystemencodingfor decoding config inbdist_wininstdistributions.Issue #105 and Issue #113: Establish a more robust technique for determining the terminal encoding:
1. Try ``getpreferredencoding`` 2. If that returns US_ASCII or None, try the encoding from ``getdefaultlocale``. If that encoding was a "fallback" because Python could not figure it out from the environment or OS, encoding remains unresolved. 3. If the encoding is resolved, then make sure Python actually implements the encoding. 4. On the event of an error or unknown codec, revert to fallbacks (UTF-8 on Darwin, ASCII on everything else). 5. On the encoding is 'mac-roman' on Darwin, use UTF-8 as 'mac-roman' was a bug on older Python releases. On a side note, it would seem that the encoding only matters for when SVN does not yet support ``--xml`` and when getting repository and svn version numbers. The ``--xml`` technique should yield UTF-8 according to some messages on the SVN mailing lists. So if the version numbers are always 7-bit ASCII clean, it may be best to only support the file parsing methods for legacy SVN releases and support for SVN without the subprocess command would simple go away as support for the older SVNs does.
- Issue #27:
easy_installwill now use credentials from .pypirc if present for connecting to the package index. - BB Pull Request #21: Omit unwanted newlines in
package_index._encode_authwhen the username/password pair length indicates wrapping.
- Issue #99: Fix filename encoding issues in SVN support.
- Remove exuberant warning in SVN support when SVN is not used.
- Address security vulnerability in SSL match_hostname check as reported in Python #17997.
- Prefer backports.ssl_match_hostname for backport implementation if present.
- Correct NameError in
ssl_supportmodule (socket.error).
- Issue #26: Add support for SVN 1.7. Special thanks to Philip Thiem for the contribution.
- Issue #93: Wheels are now distributed with every release. Note that as
reported in Issue #108, as of Pip 1.4, scripts aren't installed properly
from wheels. Therefore, if using Pip to install setuptools from a wheel,
the
easy_installcommand will not be available. - Setuptools "natural" launcher support, introduced in 1.0, is now officially supported.
- Fixed behavior of NameError handling in 'script template (dev).py' (script launcher for 'develop' installs).
ez_setup.pynow ensures partial downloads are cleaned up following a failed download.- Distribute #363 and Issue #55: Skip an sdist test that fails on locales other than UTF-8.
- Distribute #349:
sandbox.execfilenow opens the target file in binary mode, thus honoring a BOM in the file when compiled.
- Issue #69: Second attempt at fix (logic was reversed).
- Issue #77: Fix error in upload command (Python 2.4).
- Fix NameError in previous patch.
- Issue #69: Correct issue where 404 errors are returned for URLs with fragments in them (such as #egg=).
- Issue #75: Add
--insecureoption to ez_setup.py to accommodate environments where a trusted SSL connection cannot be validated. - Issue #76: Fix AttributeError in upload command with Python 2.4.
- Issue #71 (Distribute #333): EasyInstall now puts less emphasis on the
condition when a host is blocked via
--allow-hosts. - Issue #72: Restored Python 2.4 compatibility in
ez_setup.py.
- Issue #60: On Windows, Setuptools supports deferring to another launcher,
such as Vinay Sajip's pylauncher
(included with Python 3.3) to launch console and GUI scripts and not install
its own launcher executables. This experimental functionality is currently
only enabled if the
SETUPTOOLS_LAUNCHERenvironment variable is set to "natural". In the future, this behavior may become default, but only after it has matured and seen substantial adoption. TheSETUPTOOLS_LAUNCHERalso accepts "executable" to force the default behavior of creating launcher executables. - Issue #63: Bootstrap script (ez_setup.py) now prefers Powershell, curl, or
wget for retrieving the Setuptools tarball for improved security of the
install. The script will still fall back to a simple
urlopenon platforms that do not have these tools. - Issue #65: Deprecated the
Featuresfunctionality. - Issue #52: In
VerifyingHTTPSConn, handle a tunnelled (proxied) connection.
This release includes a couple of backward-incompatible changes, but most if not all users will find 1.0 a drop-in replacement for 0.9.
- Issue #50: Normalized API of environment marker support. Specifically,
removed line number and filename from SyntaxErrors when returned from
pkg_resources.invalid_marker. Any clients depending on the specific string representation of exceptions returned by that function may need to be updated to account for this change. - Issue #50: SyntaxErrors generated by
pkg_resources.invalid_markerare normalized for cross-implementation consistency. - Removed
--ignore-conflicts-at-my-riskand--delete-conflictingoptions to easy_install. These options have been deprecated since 0.6a11.
- Issue #53: Fix NameErrors in
_vcs_split_rev_from_url.

- Merged Setuptools and Distribute. See docs/merge.txt for details.
Added several features that were slated for setuptools 0.6c12:
- Index URL now defaults to HTTPS.
- Added experimental environment marker support. Now clients may designate a
PEP-426 environment marker for "extra" dependencies. Setuptools uses this
feature in
setup.pyfor optional SSL and certificate validation support on older platforms. Based on Distutils-SIG discussions, the syntax is somewhat tentative. There should probably be a PEP with a firmer spec before the feature should be considered suitable for use. - Added support for SSL certificate validation when installing packages from an HTTPS service.
- Issue #3: Fixed NameError in SSL support.
- Move warning check in
get_cache_pathto follow the directory creation to avoid errors when the cache path does not yet exist. Fixes the error reported in Distribute #375.

- Distribute #337: Moved site.py to setuptools/site-patch.py (graft of very old patch from setuptools trunk which inspired PR #31).
- Distribute #27: Use public api for loading resources from zip files rather than
the private method
_zip_directory_cache. - Added a new function

- BB Pull Request #35: In Buildout #64, it was reported that
under Python 3, installation of distutils scripts could attempt to copy
the
__pycache__directory as a file, causing an error, apparently only under Windows. Easy_install now skips all directories when processing metadata scripts.
Note this release is backward-incompatible with distribute 0.6.23-0.6.34 in how it parses version numbers.

Fix for encoding issue when installing from Windows executable on Python 3.
Distribute #323: Allow
setup_requiresrequirements to supercede installed requirements. Added some new keyword arguments to existing pkg_resources methods. Also had to updated how __path__ is handled for namespace packages to ensure that when a new egg distribution containing a namespace package is placed on sys.path, the entries in __path__ are found in the same order they would have been in had that egg been on the path when pkg_resources was first imported.

- Distribute #306: Even if 2to3 is used, we build in-place under Python 2.
- Distribute #307: Prints the full path when .svn/entries is broken.

bdist_wininst uploadtrying to upload the.exetwice- Fixed
bdist_eggputting anative_libs.txtin the source package's.egg-info, when it should only be in the built egg'sEGG-INFO.- Ensure that _full_name is set on all shared libs before extensions are checked for shared lib usage. (Fixes a bug in the experimental shared library build support.)
- Fix to allow unpacked eggs containing native libraries to fail more gracefully under Google App Engine (with an
ImportErrorloading the C-based module, instead of getting aNameError).- Fixed
win32.exesupport for .pth files, so unnecessary directory nesting is flattened out in the resulting egg. (There was a case-sensitivity problem that affected some distributions, notablypywin32.)- Prevent
--help-commandsand other junk from showing under Python 2.5 when runningeasy_install --help.- Fixed GUI scripts sometimes not executing on Windows
- Fixed not picking up dependency links from recursive dependencies.
- Only make
.py,.dlland.sofiles executable when unpacking eggs- Changes for Jython compatibility
- Improved error message when a requirement is also a directory name, but the specified directory is not a source package.
- Fixed
--allow-hostsoption blockingfile:URLs- Fixed HTTP SVN detection failing when the page title included a project name (e.g. on SourceForge-hosted SVN)

distutils.filelist.findall()crashing on broken symlinks, andegg_infocommand failing on new, uncommitted SVN directories.- Fix import problems with nested namespace packages installed via
--rootor--single-version-externally-managed, due to the parent package not having the child package as an attribute.ftp:download URLs now work correctly.- The default
--index-urlis nowhttps://pypi.python.org/simple, to use the Python Package Index's new simpler (and faster!) REST API.
- Added
--egg-pathoption todevelopcommand, allowing you to force.egg-linkfiles to use relative paths (allowing them to be shared across platforms on a networked drive).- Fix not building binary RPMs correctly.
- Fix "eggsecutables" (such as setuptools' own egg) only being runnable with bash-compatible shells.
- Fix
#!parsing problems in Windows.exescript wrappers, when there was whitespace inside a quoted argument or at the end of the#!line (a regression introduced in 0.6c4).- Fix
testcommand possibly failing if an older version of the project being tested was installed onsys.pathahead of the test source directory.- Fix
find_packages()treatingez_setupand directories with.in their names as packages.- EasyInstall no longer aborts the installation process if a URL it wants to retrieve can't be downloaded, unless the URL is an actual package download. Instead, it issues a warning and tries to keep going.
- Fixed distutils-style scripts originally built on Windows having their line endings doubled when installed on any platform.
- Added
--local-snapshots-okflag, to allow building eggs from projects installed usingsetup.py develop.- Fixed not HTML-decoding URLs scraped from web pages

bdist_rpmpackages being described asbdist_eggpackages under Python versions less than 2.5.- Fix uploaded
bdist_wininstpackages being described as suitable for "any" version by Python 2.5, even if a--target-versionwas specified.- Fixed
.dllfiles on Cygwin not having executable permissions when an egg is installed unzipped.
- Overhauled Windows script wrapping to support
bdist_wininstbetter. Scripts installed withbdist_wininstwill always use#!python.exeor#!pythonw.exeas the executable name (even when built on non-Windows platforms!), and the wrappers will look for the executable in the script's parent directory (which should find the right version of Python).- Fix
uploadcommand not uploading files built bybdist_rpmorbdist_wininstunder Python 2.3 and 2.4.- Add support for "eggsecutable" headers: a
#!/bin/shscript that is prepended to an.eggfile to allow it to be run as a script on Unix-ish platforms. (This is mainly so that setuptools itself can have a single-file installer on Unix, without doing multiple downloads, dealing with firewalls, etc.)- Fix problem with empty revision numbers in Subversion 1.4
entriesfiles- Use cross-platform relative paths in
easy-install.pthwhen doingdevelopand the source directory is a subdirectory of the installation target directory.- Fix a problem installing eggs with a system packaging tool if the project contained an implicit namespace package; for example if the
setup()listed a namespace packagefoo.barwithout explicitly listingfooas a namespace package.- Added support for HTTP "Basic" authentication using
http://user:pass@hostURLs. If a password-protected page contains links to the same host (and protocol), those links will inherit the credentials used to access the original page.- Removed all special support for Sourceforge mirrors, as Sourceforge's mirror system now works well for non-browser downloads.
- Fixed not recognizing
win32.exeinstallers that included a custom bitmap.- Fixed not allowing
os.open()of paths outside the sandbox, even if they are opened read-only (e.g. reading/dev/urandomfor random numbers, as is done byos.urandom()on some platforms).- Fixed a problem with
.pthtesting on Windows whensys.executablehas a space in it (e.g., the user installed Python to aProgram Filesdirectory).
- Fixed breakages caused by Subversion 1.4's new "working copy" format
- You can once again use "python -m easy_install" with Python 2.4 and above.
- Python 2.5 compatibility fixes added.
- The
ez_setupmodule displays the conflicting version of setuptools (and its installation location) when a script requests a version that's not available.- Running
setup.py developon a setuptools-using project will now install setuptools if needed, instead of only downloading the egg.- Windows script wrappers now support quoted arguments and arguments containing spaces. (Patch contributed by Jim Fulton.)
- The
ez_setup.pyscript now actually works when you put a setuptools.eggalongside it for bootstrapping an offline machine.- A writable installation directory on
sys.pathis no longer required to download and extract a source distribution using--editable.- Generated scripts now use
-xon the#!line whensys.executablecontains non-ASCII characters, to prevent deprecation warnings about an unspecified encoding when the script is run.
- Fixed
AttributeErrorwhen trying to download asetup_requiresdependency when a distribution lacks adependency_linkssetting.- Made
zip-safeandnot-zip-safeflag files contain a single byte, so as to play better with packaging tools that complain about zero-length files.- Made
setup.py developrespect the--no-depsoption, which it previously was ignoring.- Support
extra_pathoption tosetup()wheninstallis run in backward-compatibility mode.- Source distributions now always include a
setup.cfgfile that explicitly setsegg_infooptions such that they produce an identical version number to the source distribution's version number. (Previously, the default version number could be different due to the use of--tag-date, or if the version was overridden on the command line that built the source distribution.)- EasyInstall now includes setuptools version information in the
User-Agentstring sent to websites it visits.
- Fix
registernot obeying name/version set byegg_infocommand, ifegg_infowasn't explicitly run first on the same command line.- Added
--no-dateand--no-svn-revisionoptions toegg_infocommand, to allow suppressing tags configured insetup.cfg.- Fixed redundant warnings about missing
READMEfile(s); it should now appear only if you are actually a source distribution.- Fix creating Python wrappers for non-Python scripts
- Fix
ftp://directory listing URLs from causing a crash when used in the "Home page" or "Download URL" slots on PyPI.- Fix
sys.path_importer_cachenot being updated when an existing zipfile or directory is deleted/overwritten.- 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 noindex.htmlfile in the directory.- Allow external links in a package index to be specified using
rel="homepage"orrel="download", without needing the old PyPI-specific visible markup.- Suppressed warning message about possibly-misspelled project name, if an egg or link for that project name has already been seen.
- Fix
bdist_eggnot including files in subdirectories of.egg-info.- Allow
.pyfiles found by theinclude_package_dataoption to be automatically included. Remove duplicate data file matches if bothinclude_package_dataandpackage_dataare used to refer to the same files.- Fix local
--find-linkseggs not being copied except with--always-copy.- Fix sometimes not detecting local packages installed outside of "site" directories.
- Fix mysterious errors during initial
setuptoolsinstall, caused byez_setuptrying to runeasy_installtwice, due to a code fallthru after deleting the egg from which it's running.
- Don't install or update a
site.pypatch when installing to aPYTHONPATHdirectory with--multi-version, unless aneasy-install.pthfile is already in use there.- Construct
.pthfile paths in such a way that installing an egg whose name begins withimportdoesn't cause a syntax error.- Fixed a bogus warning message that wasn't updated since the 0.5 versions.
- Strip
modulefrom the end of compiled extension modules when computing the name of a.pyloader/wrapper. (Python's import machinery ignores this suffix when searching for an extension module.)- Better ambiguity management: accept
#eggname/version even if processing what appears to be a correctly-named distutils file, and ignore.eggfiles with no-, since valid Python.eggfiles 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.

dependency_linksto allow specifying URLs for--find-links.Enhanced test loader to scan packages as well as modules, and call
additional_tests()if present to get non-unittest tests.Support namespace packages in conjunction with system packagers, by omitting the installation of any
__init__.pyfiles for namespace packages, and adding a special.pthfile to create a working package insys.modules.Made
--single-version-externally-managedautomatic when--rootis used, so that most system packagers won't require special support for setuptools.Fixed
setup_requires,tests_require, etc. not usingsetup.cfgor other configuration files for their option defaults when installing, and also made the install use--multi-versionmode so that the project directory doesn't need to support .pth files.
MANIFEST.inis now forcibly closed when any errors occur while reading it. Previously, the file could be left open and the actual error would be masked by problems trying to remove the open file on Windows systems.Process
dependency_links.txtif found in a distribution, by adding the URLs to the list for scanning.Use relative paths in
.pthfiles when eggs are being installed to the same directory as the.pthfile. This maximizes portability of the target directory when building applications that contain eggs.Added
easy_install-N.Nscript(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-conflictingand--ignore-conflicts-at-my-riskoptions 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.
- Fixed the
developcommand ignoring--find-links.- Added exhaustive testing of the install directory, including a spawn test for
.pthfile support, and directory writability/existence checks. This should virtually eliminate the need to set or configure--site-dirs.- Added
--prefixoption for more do-what-I-mean-ishness in the absence of RTFM-ing. :)- Enhanced
PYTHONPATHsupport so that you don't have to put any eggs on it manually to make it work.--multi-versionis no longer a silent default; you must explicitly use it if installing to a non-PYTHONPATH, non-"site" directory.- Expand
$variablesused in the--site-dirs,--build-directory,--install-dir, and--script-diroptions, 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
.pyfiles and wrap them in an egg, as long as you include an#egg=name-versionsuffix on the URL, or if the.pyfile 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-copyoption 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-linksoption 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--updateor-Uoption.- Fixed the annoying
--help-commandswart.
- The
sdistcommand no longer uses the traditionalMANIFESTfile to create source distributions.MANIFEST.inis still read and processed, as are the standard defaults and pruning. But the manifest is built inside the project's.egg-infodirectory asSOURCES.txt, and it is rebuilt every time theegg_infocommand is run.- Added the
include_package_datakeyword tosetup(), allowing you to automatically include any package data listed in revision control orMANIFEST.in- Added the
exclude_package_datakeyword tosetup(), allowing you to trim back files included via thepackage_dataandinclude_package_dataoptions.- Fixed
--tag-svn-revisionnot working when run from a source distribution.- Added warning for namespace packages with missing
declare_namespace()- Added
tests_requirekeyword tosetup(), so that e.g. packages requiringnoseto run unit tests can make this dependency optional unless thetestcommand is run.- Made all commands that use
easy_installrespect its configuration options, as this was causing some problems withsetup.py install.- Added an
unpack_directory()driver tosetuptools.archive_util, so that you can process a directory tree through a processing filter as if it were a zipfile or tarfile.- Added an internal
install_egg_infocommand to use as part of old-styleinstalloperations, that installs an.egg-infodirectory with the package.- Added a
--single-version-externally-managedoption to theinstallcommand so that you can more easily wrap a "flat" egg in a system package.- Enhanced
bdist_rpmso that it installs single-version eggs that don't rely on a.pthfile. The--no-eggoption has been removed, since all RPMs are now built in a more backwards-compatible format.- Support full roundtrip translation of eggs to and from
bdist_wininstformat. Runningbdist_wininston 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), andeasy_installcan turn the .exe back into an.eggfile or directory and install it as such.- Fixed
.pthfile processing picking up nested eggs (i.e. ones inside "baskets") when they weren't explicitly listed in the.pthfile.- 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_wininstformat. Runningbdist_wininston 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), andeasy_installcan turn the .exe back into an.eggfile or directory and install it as such.
- Fixed some problems building extensions when Pyrex was installed, especially with Python 2.4 and/or packages using SWIG.
- Made
developcommand accept all the same options aseasy_install, and use theeasy_installcommand's configuration settings as defaults.- Made
egg_info --tag-svn-revisionfall back to extracting the revision number fromPKG-INFOin case it is being run on a source distribution of a snapshot taken from a Subversion-based project.- Automatically detect
.dll,.soand.dylibfiles that are being installed as data, adding them tonative_libs.txtautomatically.- Fixed some problems with fresh checkouts of projects that don't include
.egg-info/PKG-INFOunder revision control and put the project's source code directly in the project directory. If such a package had any requirements that get processed before theegg_infocommand can be run, the setup scripts would fail with a "Missing 'Version:' header and/or PKG-INFO file" error, because the egg runtime interpreted the unbuilt metadata in a directory onsys.path(i.e. the current directory) as being a corrupted egg. Setuptools now monkeypatches the distribution metadata cache to pretend that the egg has valid version information, until it has a chance to make it actually be so (via theegg_infocommand).- Update for changed SourceForge mirror format
- Fixed not installing dependencies for some packages fetched via Subversion
- Fixed dependency installation with
--always-copynot using the same dependency resolution procedure as other operations.- Fixed not fully removing temporary directories on Windows, if a Subversion checkout left read-only files behind
- Fixed some problems building extensions when Pyrex was installed, especially with Python 2.4 and/or packages using SWIG.
- Fixed not being able to install Windows script wrappers using Python 2.3
- Added support for "traditional" PYTHONPATH-based non-root installation, and also the convenient
virtual-python.pyscript, based on a contribution by Ian Bicking. The setuptools egg now contains a hackedsitemodule 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-depsand--allow-hostsoptions.- Improved Windows
.exescript 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.
- Fixed missing gui/cli .exe files in distribution. Fixed bugs in tests.
- Added
gui_scriptsentry point group to allow installing GUI scripts on Windows and other platforms. (The special handling is only for Windows; other platforms are treated the same as forconsole_scripts.)- Improved error message when trying to use old ways of running
easy_install. Removed the ability to run viapython -mor by runningeasy_install.py;easy_installis 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.
- Added
console_scriptsentry point group to allow installing scripts without the need to create separate script files. On Windows, console scripts get an.exewrapper so you can just type their name. On other platforms, the scripts are written without a file extension.- EasyInstall can now install "console_scripts" defined by packages that use
setuptoolsand define appropriate entry points. On Windows, console scripts get an.exewrapper so you can just type their name. On other platforms, the scripts are installed without a file extension.- Using
python -m easy_installor runningeasy_install.pyis now DEPRECATED, since aneasy_installwrapper is now available on all platforms.
- Added support for building "old-style" RPMs that don't install an egg for the target package, using a
--no-eggoption.- The
build_extcommand now works better when using the--inplaceoption and multiple Python versions. It now makes sure that all extensions match the current Python version, even if newer copies were built for a different Python version.- The
uploadcommand no longer attaches an extra.zipwhen uploading eggs, as PyPI now supports egg uploads without trickery.- The
ez_setupscript/module now displays a warning before downloading the setuptools egg, and attempts to check the downloaded egg against an internal MD5 checksum table.- Fixed the
--tag-svn-revisionoption ofegg_infonot finding the latest revision number; it was using the revision number of the directory containingsetup.py, not the highest revision number in the project.- Added
eager_resourcessetup argument- The
sdistcommand now recognizes Subversion "deleted file" entries and does not include them in source distributions.setuptoolsnow embeds itself more thoroughly into the distutils, so that other distutils extensions (e.g. py2exe, py2app) will subclass setuptools' versions of things, rather than the native distutils ones.- Added
entry_pointsandsetup_requiresarguments tosetup();setup_requiresallows you to automatically find and download packages that are needed in order to build your project (as opposed to running it).setuptoolsnow finds its commands,setup()argument validators, and metadata writers using entry points, so that they can be extended by third-party packages. See Creating distutils Extensions for more details.- The vestigial
dependscommand has been removed. It was never finished or documented, and never would have worked without EasyInstall - which it pre-dated and was never compatible with.- 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 in the Non-Root Installation section of the docs).
- Added support for handling MacOS platform information in
.eggfilenames, 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
.pycor.pyofiles for scripts with.pyextensions.- Added
--site-dirsoption to allow adding custom "site" directories. Madeeasy-install.pthwork in platform-specific alternate site directories (e.g.~/Library/Python/2.x/site-packageson 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.pthfile.- EasyInstall now recognizes URLs with a
#egg=project_namefragment 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--editableoption. The#eggfragment can contain a version if it's formatted as#egg=proj-ver, whereprojis the project name, andveris the version number. You must use the format for these values that thebdist_eggcommand uses; i.e., all non-alphanumeric runs must be condensed to single underscore characters.- Added the
--editableoption; see Editing and Viewing Source Packages in the docs. Also, slightly changed the behavior of the--build-directoryoption.- Fixed the setup script sandbox facility not recognizing certain paths as valid on case-insensitive platforms.
- The zip-safety scanner now checks for modules that might be used with
python -m, and marks them as unsafe for zipping, since Python 2.4 can't handle-mon zipped modules.- Fix
python -m easy_installnot working due to setuptools being installed as a zipfile. Update safety scanner to check for modules that might be used aspython -mscripts.- Misc. fixes for win32.exe support, including changes to support Python 2.4's changed
bdist_wininstformat.
- Fix breakage of the "develop" command that was caused by the addition of
--always-unzipto theeasy_installcommand.
- Put the
easy_installmodule back in as a module, as it's needed forpython -mto run it!- Allow
--find-links/-fto accept local directories or filenames as well as URLs.
- Include
svn:externalsdirectories in source distributions as well as normal subversion-controlled files and directories.- Added
exclude=patternlistoption tosetuptools.find_packages()- Changed --tag-svn-revision to include an "r" in front of the revision number for better readability.
- Added ability to build eggs without including source files (except for any scripts, of course), using the
--exclude-source-filesoption tobdist_egg.setup.py installnow automatically detects when an "unmanaged" package or module is going to be onsys.pathahead of a package being installed, thereby preventing the newer version from being imported. If this occurs, a warning message is output tosys.stderr, but installation proceeds anyway. The warning message informs the user what files or directories need deleting, and advises them they can also use EasyInstall (with the--delete-conflictingoption) to do it automatically.- The
egg_infocommand now adds atop_level.txtfile to the metadata directory that lists all top-level modules and packages in the distribution. This is used by theeasy_installcommand to find possibly-conflicting "unmanaged" packages when installing the distribution.- Added
zip_safeandnamespace_packagesarguments tosetup(). Added package analysis to determine zip-safety if thezip_safeflag is not given, and advise the author regarding what code might need changing.- Fixed the swapped
-dand-boptions ofbdist_egg.- EasyInstall now automatically detects when an "unmanaged" package or module is going to be on
sys.pathahead 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-conflictingand--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 oldersetuptoolsversions, because they lack the new metadata file required to implement it.)- The
easy_installdistutils command now usesDistutilsErroras 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/-Zoption, to force unzipping of packages that would ordinarily be considered safe to unzip, and changed the meaning of--zip-ok/-zto "always leave everything zipped".
- The "egg_info" command now always sets the distribution metadata to "safe" forms of the distribution name and version, so that distribution files will be generated with parseable names (i.e., ones that don't include '-' in the name or version). Also, this means that if you use the various
--tagoptions of "egg_info", any distributions generated will use the tags in the version, not just egg distributions.- Added support for defining command aliases in distutils configuration files, under the "[aliases]" section. To prevent recursion and to allow aliases to call the command of the same name, a given alias can be expanded only once per command-line invocation. You can define new aliases with the "alias" command, either for the local, global, or per-user configuration.
- Added "rotate" command to delete old distribution files, given a set of patterns to match and the number of files to keep. (Keeps the most recently-modified distribution files matching each pattern.)
- Added "saveopts" command that saves all command-line options for the current invocation to the local, global, or per-user configuration file. Useful for setting defaults without having to hand-edit a configuration file.
- Added a "setopt" command that sets a single option in a specified distutils configuration file.
- There is now a separate documentation page for setuptools; revision history that's not specific to EasyInstall has been moved to that page.
- Added "upload" support for egg and source distributions, including a bug fix for "upload" and a temporary workaround for lack of .egg support in PyPI.
- Beefed up the "sdist" command so that if you don't have a MANIFEST.in, it will include all files under revision control (CVS or Subversion) in the current directory, and it will regenerate the list every time you create a source distribution, not just when you tell it to. This should make the default "do what you mean" more often than the distutils' default behavior did, while still retaining the old behavior in the presence of MANIFEST.in.
- Fixed the "develop" command always updating .pth files, even if you specified
-nor--dry-run.- Slightly changed the format of the generated version when you use
--tag-buildon the "egg_info" command, so that you can make tagged revisions compare lower than the version specified in setup.py (e.g. by using--tag-build=dev).
- Added
developcommand tosetuptools-based packages. This command installs an.egg-linkpointing to the package's source directory, and script wrappers thatexecfile()the source versions of the package's scripts. This lets you put your development checkout(s) on sys.path without having to actually install them. (To uninstall the link, use usesetup.py develop --uninstall.)- Added
egg_infocommand tosetuptools-based packages. This command just creates or updates the "projectname.egg-info" directory, without building an egg. (It's used by thebdist_egg,test, anddevelopcommands.)- Enhanced the
testcommand so that it doesn't install the package, but instead builds any C extensions in-place, updates the.egg-infometadata, adds the source directory tosys.path, and runs the tests directly on the source. This avoids an "unmanaged" installation of the package tosite-packagesor elsewhere.- Made
easy_installa standardsetuptoolscommand, moving it from theeasy_installmodule tosetuptools.command.easy_install. Note that if you were importing or extending it, you must now change your imports accordingly.easy_install.pyis still installed as a script, but not as a module.
- Setup scripts using setuptools can now list their dependencies directly in the setup.py file, without having to manually create a
depends.txtfile. Theinstall_requiresandextras_requirearguments tosetup()are used to create a dependencies file automatically. If you are manually creatingdepends.txtright now, please switch to using these setup arguments as soon as practical, becausedepends.txtsupport will be removed in the 0.6 release cycle. For documentation on the new arguments, see thesetuptools.dist.Distributionclass.- Setup scripts using setuptools now always install using
easy_installinternally, for ease of uninstallation and upgrading.- Added
--always-copy/-aoption 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/-Uoption 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-INFOdirectory, 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
--recordoption toeasy_installfor the benefit of tools that runsetup.py install --record=filenameon behalf of another packaging system.)
- 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.
- Fix stupid stupid refactoring-at-the-last-minute typos. :(
Added support for "self-installation" bootstrapping. Packages can now include
ez_setup.pyin their source distribution, and add the following to theirsetup.py, in order to automatically bootstrap installation of setuptools as part of their setup process:from ez_setup import use_setuptools use_setuptools() from setuptools import setup # etc...Added support for converting
.win32.exeinstallers 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)
- 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).
- 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.)
- Added
ez_setup.pyinstaller/bootstrap script to make initial setuptools installation easier, and to allow distributions using setuptools to avoid having to include setuptools in their source distribution.- All downloads are now managed by the
PackageIndexclass (which is now subclassable and replaceable), so that embedders can more easily override download logic, give download progress reports, etc. The class has also been moved to the newsetuptools.package_indexmodule.- The
Installerclass no longer handles downloading, manages a temporary directory, or tracks thezip_okoption. Downloading is now handled byPackageIndex, andInstallerhas become aneasy_installcommand class based onsetuptools.Command.- There is a new
setuptools.sandbox.run_setup()API to invoke a setup script in a directory sandbox, and a newsetuptools.archive_utilmodule with anunpack_archive()API. These were split out of EasyInstall to allow reuse by other tools and applications.setuptools.Commandnow supports reinitializing commands using keyword arguments to set/reset options. Also,Commandsubclasses can now set theircommand_consumes_argumentsattribute toTruein order to receive anargsoption containing the rest of the command line.- 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/-sto--find-links/-fto free up-sfor the script installation directory option.- Use
urllib2instead ofurllib, to allow use ofhttps:URLs if Python includes SSL support.
- Added
--scan-urland--index-urloptions, to scan download pages and search PyPI for needed packages.
- Restrict
--build-directory=DIR/-b DIRoption to only be used with single URL installs, to avoid running the wrong setup.py.
- Added
--build-directory=DIR/-b DIRoption.- 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_datahacks
- Added new options to
bdist_eggto allow tagging the egg's version number with a subversion revision number, the current date, or an explicit tag value. Runsetup.py bdist_egg --helpto get more information.- Added subversion download support for
svn:andsvn+URLs, as well as automatic recognition of HTTP subversion URLs (Contributed by Ian Bicking)- Misc. bug fixes
- Initial release.
