sdist_check (discontinued)
Warning
This project is not active any more. There will not be any further release. The github repository of sdist_check will be deleted on Dec 1st, 2016.
Please use Marius Gedminas' awesome check-manifest instead. It's more mature, provides better and more powerful scans and is already used by a lot of smart people.
I would not have started this project, if I had known Marius` excellent tool (thank you Marius!) at that time. So go and use it. sdist-check is now gone. Gone to meet its maker.
setuptools plugin providing a new command sdist_check. It is
run like any other regular setuptools command:
$ python setup.py sdist_check running sdist_check
and does some additional checks compared to the setuptools built-in
command check. For instance it scans distributions built with
sdist for files you most probably do not want to be part of the
distribution.
A list of all supported options of the sdist_check command can be retrieved like this:
$ python setup.py sdist_check --help
Common commands: (see '--help-commands' for more)
setup.py build will build the package underneath 'build/'
setup.py install will install the package
...
Options for 'sdist_check' command:
--metadata (-m) Verify meta-data
--restructuredtext (-r) Checks if long string meta-data syntax are
reStructuredText-compliant
--strict (-s) Will exit with an error if a check fails
--badfiles (-b) Check files included in dist for unusual names
...
The badfiles option is a list of filename patterns which are
considered as non-wanted in distributions. By default, we look for
files named like "*~".
