Add sdist_list plugin to all setup.py

[tiran]

The sdist_list plugin creates a source distribution file list.

@pspacek here is your helper command for automake dist.

Thanks for the propsal. It has several problems:

• It prints extra text at the beginning of output. This makes the output unsuitable for automated processing.

$ python setup.py sdist_list --quiet
running sdist_list
running egg_info
writing freeipa.egg-info/PKG-INFO
writing top-level names to freeipa.egg-info/top_level.txt
writing dependency_links to freeipa.egg-info/dependency_links.txt
reading manifest file 'freeipa.egg-info/SOURCES.txt'
writing manifest file 'freeipa.egg-info/SOURCES.txt'
warning: sdist_list: standard file not found: should have one of README, README.rst, README.txt

running check
/home/pspacek/pkg/ipa/git/ipaserver/__init__.py

• pylint is failing

I wonder if the printed list is always the same as *.egg-info/SOURCES.txt or not. If it is the same we may very well re-use that file. It seems that egg-info is generated during sdist_list processing anyway ...

You have two options to work around the extra output

1. redirect stderr and use python setup.py --quiet sdist_list. The order is import, python setup.py sdist_list --quiet only silences sdist_list command, not subcommands.
2. use the --source-list option to write the source list into a file

The content of SOURCES.txt is not necessarily the same as sdist_list. The sdist command may add additional files after egg_info has creates the file.

Could you fix sdist_list so it properly propagates --quiet option to the subcommands?

[tiran]

There is nothing to fix here. Just use the --source-list argument.

I would rather avoid temporary file and related logic. For this reason I would like to see --quiet option propagated to subcommands. Can it be done?

[tiran]

It can't be done in a clean way. distutils and setuptools starts logging to stdout before the command has a chance to change the log level. I don't want to change the log level globally because it contains useful information.

The feature is no longer required. @pspacek uses egg-info/SOURCES.txt.
