Issue 23469: Delete Misc/*.wpr files (original) (raw)

Since the files have effectively been abandoned, I think removing them should be considered now. The three files in /Misc, for wing-3, 4, and 5, are python-wing3.wpr python-wing4.wpr python-wing5.wpr

The current version of Wing is 8.1.1. The files were last edited in March 2011, a decade ago, by M. Foord. The last contains

#!wing #!version=5.0 ##################################################################

Wing IDE project file

################################################################## [project attributes] proj.directory-list = [{'dirloc': loc('..'), 'excludes': [u'.hg', u'Lib/unittest/__pycache', u'Lib/unittest/test/__pycache', u'Lib/__pycache__', u'build', u'Doc/build'], 'filter': '*', 'include_hidden': False, 'recursive': True, 'watch_for_changes': True}] proj.file-type = 'shared'

4. is the same except for the version comment. Both are specialized for working with Lib/unittest, failing to exclude most of the other pycache directories. I wonder whether current Wing now knows that it should ignore cache directories. (I considered emailing support@wingware.com, but decided to wait.) In the absence of more comments, we could inquire on python-dev.

In 2019, these .ini-format configuration data files were marked as executable scripts. I believe that this was a mistake.
