History

Release 0.2.1 (2017-12-18)

Compatibility

Drop support for python 3.3.

Packaging

Include tests in sdist.

Testing

Test with wheel version 0.18 (among others.)
Increase test coverage

Release 0.2 (2017-11-08)

Python 2.6 is no longer supported. We now test under cpython 2.7 and cpython 3.3 through 3.6.

Changed Behavior

The strict check for wheel binary compatibility with the current platform has been removed. Now a warning is printed in this case. When running under py35 or py36, distlib sometimes falsely reports that some wheels are not binary compatible. See distlib ticket #93.

Bugs Fixed

Fix EggInfo_Legacy.requires to work with recent versions of distlib. With distlib<=0.2.4, distlib.wheel.Wheel.metadata.run_requires is a list of strings, taken from lines of the RFC822 style metadata. With recent versions of distlib, run_requires is a list of dicts in the "JSON" format described in PEP 426. This addresses #1.

Always create eggs with zip_safe=False. There currently seems to be no robust way to determine whether a package is zip_safe from its wheel. See #3 for further discussion. (Thank you to immerrr.)

Fix parsing of markers in EggInfo_Legacy.requires. Apparently, as of distlib==0.2.6, distlib.markers.interpret no longer handles leading whitespace in the marker string well.
Fix failing test test_humpty:TestScriptCopyer.test_copies_script. Apparently, distlib.markers.interpret==0.2.6 now just prepends the new hashbang line to the copied script, but does not remove the original hashbang.
