Distutils help needed (suggestions anyway)

A user contacted me a week or so ago about problems building
the new gdmodule version. A moment's study revealed the
problem... the GD include file gd_io.h contains a structure
which has changed somewhere between GD 2.0.1 and 2.0.8.

In the earlier versions, the gdIOCtx structure had a member:

void (*free)(struct gdIOCtx *);

but in the newer versions the name of the member is gd_free.

Ideally I'd like the setup.py script to detect and adapt to
this; but before I go and invent an all-new wheel I thought
I'd see if there is an existing solution for this sort of
distribution problem.

Hello Python Community. I bring greetings from the Haskell community (http://www.haskell.org) ;) There has been a lot of discussion of late about creating a grand-unified build & distribution system for "3rd party" Haskell libraries (those not distributed with the compilers). Python's Distutils has come up a few times. The Haskell Library Infrastructure Project's web page is just a wiki page which can be found here:...

Some time ago, I got the idea that I wanted to build image resources from vector graphic originals, instead of marshalling hundreds of tiny little icon images by hand. I wrote "BuildImage" to do this for me, and so far, it works very well, so I'm trying to make it easier to use and available to more developers. There is a brief (and somewhat dated) tutorial explaining what BuildImage itself does at:

Python 2.4 is built with Microsoft Visiual C++ 7. This means that it uses msvcr7.dll, which *isn't* a standard part of the windows operating system. This means that if you build a windows installer using distutils - it *requires* msvcr7.dll in order to run. This is true even if your package is a pure python package. This means that when someone tries to use a windows installer created with Python 2.4, on a machine with only python 2.3 - it...

I'm trying to build PyBison on Mac OS X, and I'm running into some problems with the distutils. Just for starters: PyBison requires Pyrex. This is not a problem, and Pyrex seems to work without problems, at least the primes sample module shows a nice 25 to 30 fold speed increase over the pure python version. I used the distutils to create the module from the primes.pyx sample, following the setup.py from the PyBison distrubution:

Hello, am I wrong or isn't there a way in distutils to build (compile/link) a native executable and install it among the "scripts"? It looks like that distutils.CCompiler features a link_executable() method, and build_ext.py has most of the logic needed to track dependencies, include paths and whatnot, but nothing is exposed at a higher level. I was going to subclass build_ext and find a way to piggy-back link_executable() into it...

is there anyway I can, in a setup.py file, set and internal equivalent to the '--install-scripts' commandline option? script installation directory but I don't want on the command line where things can go horribly wrong if the user forgets. I would like to create a new default setting for this commandline option as well as a couple of other such as the data default directory. --- eric

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
