This repository is provided in support of a bug report for Python's setuptools.

Usage

This test runs in a POSIX environment with networking, presuming Bash, Make, and Python 3 with virtualenv are installed.

After cloning the repository, run make. make is expected to exit in an error state on the check recipe until Issue 2492 is resolved.

Test outline

The check recipe runs a test defined in test.mk on two directories:

• using_setup_cfg, where setup.cfg supplies the package version with an attribute descriptor.
• using_setup_py, where setup.py supplies the package version with the same syntax.

Current status of "make check"

This is the current shell transcript of make check:
