[issue9309] Add environment variable complementing command line option -no-user-cfg
Alexander Dreyer added the comment: The idea is, that an environment variable can be set globally by the master-build system or the packaging system. In contrary, the --no-user-cfg switch has to be added to the build description of each individial package. For strongly community-driven projects - like Sage - it is very likely, that this will be forgotten by some package maintainers. Since usually .pydistutils.cfg is not used in automated test environments this error will be detected, when a package is accepted. -- ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue9309> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue9309] Add environment variable complementing command line option -no-user-cfg
New submission from Alexander Dreyer : At the Sage Days 24 coding sprint the issue came up, that the setup.py install programs of several python-based tools pick the prefix-setting from ~/.pydistutils.cfg. http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/9536 In order to get this right, we suggest to introduce the environment variable DISTUTILS_NO_USER_CFG. It can be used like the --no-user-cfg commandline option supported by distutils.

[issue9309] Add environment variable complementing command line option -no-user-cfg
Alexander Dreyer added the comment: The patch is originating from Sage Days 24. Sage (http://www.sagemath.org) distributes a bunch of mathematical python-based software. The integration of the individual packages is done by individual people which might not use --no-user-cfg in their install scripts. So we needed a way to ensure this via the environment.
