15 """Abstract base class for defining command classes, the "worker bees"
16 of the Distutils. A useful analogy for command classes is to think of
17 them as subroutines with local variables called "options". The options
18 are "declared" in 'initialize_options()' and "defined" (given their
19 final values, aka "finalized") in 'finalize_options()', both of which
20 must be defined by every command class. The distinction between the
21 two is necessary because option values might come from the outside
22 world (command line, config file, ...), and any options dependent on
23 other options must be computed *after* these outside influences have
24 been processed -- hence 'finalize_options()'. The "body" of the
25 subroutine, where it does all its work based on the values of its
26 options, is the 'run()' method, which must also be implemented by every
30 # 'sub_commands' formalizes the notion of a "family" of commands,
31 # eg. "install" as the parent with sub-commands "install_lib",
32 # "install_headers", etc. The parent of a family of commands
33 # defines 'sub_commands' as a class attribute; it's a list of
34 # (command_name : string, predicate : unbound_method | string | None)
35 # tuples, where 'predicate' is a method of the parent command that
36 # determines whether the corresponding command is applicable in the
37 # current situation. (Eg. we "install_headers" is only applicable if
38 # we have any C header files to install.) If 'predicate' is None,
39 # that command is always applicable.
41 # 'sub_commands' is usually defined at the *end* of a class, because
42 # predicates can be unbound methods, so they must already have been
43 # defined. The canonical example is the "install" command.
