Based on a list of possibilities mentioned by Cait Pickens in an internal email.
Often we don't care which editor is installed, so long as at least one is installed. This commit tweaks Dependency and adds a VirtualDependency class to support such virtual dependencies. You can't get very fancy with boolean logic, but an all-and and all-or lists will probably be sufficient for our needs.
Use distutils' new_compiler() to get the appropriate exe_extension for the user's system. This way command names can always be specified in their bare form, and we'll automatically add the right executable extension for other platforms.
Avoid running the same check (e.g. 'python') over and over.
For example, if you have an outdated 'python', you only want to hear about that once, not once for each PythonPackageDependency.
This makes it easy to see what a user has installed.
Exception chaining (PEP 3134, 'raise ... from') raises SyntaxErros in Python 2.x. Comment the chaining out until SWC starts teaching only Python 3.x.
Otherwise `print()` actually prints `()`, where we want it to print a blank line.
importlib is new in Python 2.7 / 3.1. Add a minimal workaround for earlier versions.
…sion Split it into pieces for easier subclassing.
The Mercurial Python package stores its version in strange places.
The 'sqlite3' package has the same version as the standard library. We only check for it because sometimes (e.g. on Gentoo) Python may be compiled without this package.
I have access to a machine running OS X 10.6.8, which has: $ bash --version GNU bash, version 3.2.48(1)-release (x86_64-apple-darwin10.0) Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. That means no associative arrays, but for SWC purposes, it should still get the job done. All we really need is POSIX.2.
Commit to POSIX.2 [1] compatibility by allowing additional shells. If anyone has something besides sh, bash, or dash installed, they probably know how to use it ;). [1]: http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/xcu_chap02.html IEEE Std 1003.2-1992
Distribute's easy_install supports --version (at least since 0.6.21), but Setuptool's original version does not (at least as of 0.6c9). Assume that if we get some kind of reasonable output from `easy_install --version` we're dealing with the Setuptools version.
Xcode 4.0.2 for OS X 10.6.8 shipped with Git 1.7.3.4.
Dodge the logic which (at least in Python 2.6.1) raises: DeprecationWarning: BaseException.message has been deprecated as of Python 2.6 We're setting the .message attribute explicitly, so the deprecation warning does not apply to us. The fix was suggested by Brett Cannon: On Sun Jul 8 02:42:18 CEST 2007, Brett Cannon wrote [1]: > You can get around this easily enough with a subclass that uses a > property for message:: > > class gerror(Exception): > def _get_message(self, message): return self._message > def _set_message(self, message): self._message = message > message = property(_get_message, _set_message) [1]: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2007-July/073777.html
We already told them how to do this in swc-installation-test-1.py, hopefully they remember ;).
This can link to the "howto setup Python" notes from SWC once those get a more precise link than: http://software-carpentry.org/setup/
I can't give package-specific links yet, but they will hopefully be in place soon. I made the "email your instructor" suggestion optional, because it is easy for me to imagine a course large enough that the instructor could not field all requests. To disable, change print_suggestions(instructor_fallback=True) to print_suggestions(instructor_fallback=False)
No need to test the other dependencies once you find one that matches.
Placing the often-symlinked `sh` at the end of the list. This way if a user has Bash installed, it doesn't show up as plain old Bourne.
The Windows installer opens a shell while running. This adds some text to that shell so that it is clear that something is happening.
