make sure the existing metadata Provides field is translated when translating an old PKG-INFO

Fix minor whitespace, syntax and idiom nits

fix for 14294

2012-03-14T03:26:28+00:00

Start improving 2to3 code (#13462).

2012-02-09T16:29:38+00:00

- Change the fixers used in tests to something not provided by lib2to3
- Test conversion of doctests in text files
- Factor out test boilerplate into a common method

Remove unneeded import

2012-02-09T01:04:02+00:00

Remove usage of stdlib shutil.

2011-11-20T17:51:32+00:00

This should help avoiding issues like #13170.

Because of implicit relative imports, _backport.tarfile already imported
shutil from the backports instead of the stdlib; I have inlined the only
function it needed to remove the circular dependency between these
modules.

Remove 'verbose' arguments, obsoleted by logging

Fix module name

Improve byte-compilation to be independent of -O or -B.

2011-11-12T01:58:14+00:00

All code (util.byte_compile, build_py, install_lib) can now create .pyc
and/or.pyo files according to options given by users, without
interference from the calling Python?s own optimize mode or from the
sys.dont_write_bytecode switch.

The rationale is that packaging gives control over the creation of
.pyc/.pyo files to the user with its own explicit option, and the
behavior should not be changed if the calling Python happens to run with
-B or -O for whatever reason.

This is actually a bug fix, not an improvement: Digging into the early
history of distutils shows that the original author wanted this behavior
(see for example comments in build_py in r12940).

Expand tests and fix bugs in util.resolve_name.

2011-11-11T22:26:49+00:00

The code is still ugly, but at least it works better now.  Patches to
make it easier to read are welcome, as well as support in #12915.
