== Coding task -- Deadline: April 17th == Write a small Python application that will do the following: * provide a XML-RPC client that knows how to list all releases of a given project at PyPI (no need to implement the whole XML-RPC spec, but think about this as something we can reuse later during the GSOC, to implement the whole XML-RPC spec) * provide a script called "install_distribution.py" that will be used to download the distribution and install it, using "python setup.py install" The CLI can be used like this: {{{ $ install_distribution.py Foo Found versions of Foo: 1.1 1.2 Which version do you want to install (hit enter for None)? }}} or: {{{ $ install_distribution.py Foo 1.1 }}} The code should be unit-tested, and documented. The goal is not to make you write something you don't know how to write, but to see how you write/organize code to help me select the student. So, I am available online for any question help. |

GSOC Tasks
PEP 376 support
Implement pkgutil APIs described in PEP 376 : http://bugs.python.org/issue8250 -- work started by people in the community already. (focus on speed with benches)
- Implement a dependency-graph builder
- Add basic PEP 376 support in Distribute [and Pip is possible]
Installer / Uninstaller, PyPI
- Implement Distutils2 APIs described in PEP 376.
- Add the uninstall command.
- think about a basic installer / uninstaller script. (with deps) -- similar to pip/easy_install
- in a pypi subpackage;
- Integrate a module similar to setuptools' package_index
PyPI XML-RPC client for Distutils2: http://bugs.python.org/issue8190
Distutils new commands
Add a post/pre-commit hook for install and uninstall commands: http://bugs.python.org/issue8312 see if it can be generic.
- enhance the check command (sanity tests)
- Move the upload_doc command from distribute
- add an optional call to upload_doc into upload
Add a test command: http://bugs.python.org/issue8324
Distutils build tool
- Study 4Suite' configure command
Write a configure command: http://bugs.python.org/issue8254
- Make install and build optionally use the configure file
Make it possible to use setup.cfg to describe all the metadata: http://bugs.python.org/issue8252
- Describe the resources files and the Python files using a [resources] or [packages] [py_modules]
section in setup.cfg: http://bugs.python.org/issue8253
- make setup.py optional (commands would be called through a -m call)
Py3 support
- Move the use_2to3 command from distribute
- Make sure distutils2 works under Py3 using 2to3
Tasks for all
- Write a small tutorial in docs/ for each feature you add
Misc
complete tutorial : http://bugs.python.org/issue8255
- Promote and evangelize Distutils2–This will consist of helping python project to switch to/adopt Distutils2. We will define a list of targets at the beginning and the student will be in charge of helping them switching to Distutils2 if they want.
