bpo-38914 Do not require email field in setup.py. (GH-17388)

2019-12-23T14:53:18+00:00

When checking `setup.py` and when the `author` field was provided, but
the `author_email` field was missing, erroneously a warning message was
displayed that the `author_email` field is required.

The specs do not require the `author_email`field:
https://packaging.python.org/specifications/core-metadata/#author

The same is valid for `maintainer` and `maintainer_email`.

The warning message has been adjusted.

bpo-38021: Modify AIX platform_tag so it covers PEP 425 needs (GH-17303)

2019-12-15T14:17:53+00:00

Provides a richer platform tag for AIX that we expect to be sufficient for PEP 425
binary distribution identification. Any backports to earlier Python versions will be
handled via setuptools.

Patch by Michael Felt.

bpo-37481: Deprecate distutils bdist_wininst command (GH-14553)

2019-07-05T08:44:12+00:00

The distutils bdist_wininst command is now deprecated, use
bdist_wheel (wheel packages) instead.

bpo-10945: Drop support for bdist_wininst on non-Windows systems (GH-14506)

2019-07-01T12:12:40+00:00

bdist_wininst depends on MBCS codec, unavailable on non-Windows,
and bdist_wininst have not worked since at least Python 3.2, possibly
never on Python 3.

Here we document that bdist_wininst is only supported on Windows,
and we mark it unsupported otherwise to skip tests.

Distributors of Python 3 can now safely drop the bdist_wininst .exe files
without the need to skip bdist_wininst related tests.

bpo-21536: On Cygwin, C extensions must be linked with libpython (GH-13549)

2019-05-24T15:33:47+00:00

It is also possible to link against a library or executable with a
statically linked libpython, but not both with the same DLL.  In fact
building a statically linked python is currently broken on Cygwin
for other (related) reasons.

The same problem applies to other POSIX-like layers over Windows
(MinGW, MSYS) but Python's build system does not seem to attempt
to support those platforms at the moment.
