Setup Extensions¶
Setuptools APIs¶
The setuptools or distutils support the possibility of the exetnesion by additional commands. These support two flavours of APIs.
Extension Commands¶
Extension commands, or command classes are based on
distutils.cmd.Command
Note
These work with distutils as well as with the newer setuptools.
The derived command classes define custom commands and add these to the internal dispatcher by inserting the list of new commands into the setup call:
setup(
author="Arno-Can Uestuensoez @Ingenieurbuero Arno-Can Uestuensoez",
license="Artistic-License-2.0 + Forced-Fairplay-Constraints",
cmdclass={
'build_java': build_java,
'build_jy': build_jy,
'build_docx': build_docx,
'install_docx': install_docx,
'testx': testx,
},
)
Extension Points¶
Esxtension points are a newer interface, which also support background-registration of the new comands for shared use.
This is not yet supported by setupjavax.
