Category: Distutils Group: None

Status: Closed Resolution: Fixed Priority: 5 Submitted By: Garth T Kidd (gtk) Assigned to: Thomas Heller (theller) Summary: illegal version 1.0.2pre

Initial Comment: Description:

The version in distutils/init doesn't conform to the strict versioning guidelines in distutils/version, resulting in failure when trying to use distutils to install 4Suite (and perhaps other modules).

Workaround:

Hand-edit distutils/init.py to remove "pre".

Pointers to vital stuff in code:

Lib/distutils/init.py: version = "1.0.2pre"

Lib/distutils/version.py: A version number consists of two or three dot- separated numeric components, with an optional "pre- release" tag on the end. The pre-release tag consists of the letter 'a' or 'b' followed by a number.

Demonstration of problem:

Python 2.1 (#1, Apr 18 2001, 10:49:25) [GCC 2.95.2 19991024 (release)] on sunos5 Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

Seems better to close this bug, since it is fixed. Iff a python version 2.1.2 is released, someone will have to remember this one...

I didn't close it because it should have been fixed in Python 2.1.1, just in case there will be a 2.1.2 release, where it should be fixed.

Shall I close it?

Fixed in distutils 1.20 tagged for release with Python 2.2, meaning 4Suite et al won't install cleanly with any out-of- the-box Python 2.1. :/

If there's ever a 2.1.2, anyone want to tag this for it?
