WOW. I've been accepted to be a part of the
|
||
`Google Summer Of Code <http://code.google.com/intl/fr/soc/>`_
|
||
program, and will work on `python <http://python.org/>`_
|
||
`distutils2 <http://hg.python.org/distutils2/>`_, with
|
||
`a <http://pygsoc.wordpress.com/>`_
|
||
`lot <http://konryd.blogspot.com/>`_ `of <http://ziade.org/>`_
|
||
(intersting!) `people <http://zubin71.wordpress.com/>`_.
|
||
|
||
So, it's about building the successor of Distutils2, ie. "the
|
||
python package manager". Today, there is too many ways to package a
|
||
python application (pip, setuptools, distribute, distutils, etc.)
|
||
so there is a huge effort to make in order to make all this
|
||
packaging stuff interoperable, as pointed out by
|
||
the `PEP 376 <http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0376/>`_.
|
||
|
||
In more details, I'm going to work on the Installer / Uninstaller
|
||
features of Distutils2, and on a PyPI XML-RPC client for distutils2.
|
||
Here are the already defined tasks:
|
||
|
||
- 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 distutils 2:

As I'm relatively new to python, I'll need some extra work in order
|
||
to apply all good practice, among other things that can make a
|
||
developper-life joyful. I'll post here, each week, my advancement,
|
||
and my tought about python and especialy python packaging world.
