This command checks the meta-data of the package.

Method check_metadata Ensures that all required elements of meta-data are supplied.
Method check_restructuredtext Checks if the long string fields are reST-compliant.
Method finalize_options Set final values for all the options that this command supports. This is always called as late as possible, ie. after any option assignments from the command-line or from other commands have been done...
Method initialize_options Sets default values for options.
Method run Runs the command.
Method warn Counts the number of warnings that occurs.

Inherited from Command:

Method __getattr__ Undocumented
Method __init__ Create and initialize a new Command object. Most importantly, invokes the 'initialize_options()' method, which is the real initializer and depends on the actual command being instantiated.
Method announce Undocumented
Method copy_file Copy a file respecting verbose, dry-run and force flags. (The former two default to whatever is in the Distribution object, and the latter defaults to false for commands that don't define it.)
Method copy_tree Copy an entire directory tree respecting verbose, dry-run, and force flags.
Method debug_print Print 'msg' to stdout if the global DEBUG (taken from the DISTUTILS_DEBUG environment variable) flag is true.
Method dump_options Undocumented
Method ensure_dirname Undocumented
Method ensure_filename Ensure that 'option' is the name of an existing file.
Method ensure_finalized Undocumented
Method ensure_string Ensure that 'option' is a string; if not defined, set it to 'default'.
Method ensure_string_list Ensure that 'option' is a list of strings. If 'option' is currently a string, we split it either on /,\s*/ or /\s+/, so "foo bar baz", "foo,bar,baz", and "foo, bar baz" all become ["foo", "bar", "baz"].
Method execute Undocumented
Method get_command_name Undocumented
Method get_finalized_command Wrapper around Distribution's 'get_command_obj()' method: find (create if necessary and 'create' is true) the command object for 'command', call its 'ensure_finalized()' method, and return the finalized command object.
Method get_sub_commands Determine the sub-commands that are relevant in the current distribution (ie., that need to be run). This is based on the 'sub_commands' class attribute: each tuple in that list may include a method that we call to determine if the subcommand needs to be run for the current distribution...
Method make_archive Undocumented
Method make_file Special case of 'execute()' for operations that process one or more input files and generate one output file. Works just like 'execute()', except the operation is skipped and a different message printed if 'outfile' already exists and is newer than all files listed in 'infiles'...
Method mkpath Undocumented
Method move_file Move a file respecting dry-run flag.
Method reinitialize_command Undocumented
Method run_command Run some other command: uses the 'run_command()' method of Distribution, which creates and finalizes the command object if necessary and then invokes its 'run()' method.
Method set_undefined_options Set the values of any "undefined" options from corresponding option values in some other command object. "Undefined" here means "is None", which is the convention used to indicate that an option has not been changed between 'initialize_options()' and 'finalize_options()'...
Method spawn Spawn an external command respecting dry-run flag.

def check_metadata(self): (source)

Ensures that all required elements of meta-data are supplied. Required fields: name, version Warns if any are missing.

def check_restructuredtext(self): (source)

Checks if the long string fields are reST-compliant.

def finalize_options(self): (source)

Set final values for all the options that this command supports. This is always called as late as possible, ie. after any option assignments from the command-line or from other commands have been done. Thus, this is the place to code option dependencies: if 'foo' depends on 'bar', then it is safe to set 'foo' from 'bar' as long as 'foo' still has the same value it was assigned in 'initialize_options()'. This method must be implemented by all command classes.

def initialize_options(self): (source)

Sets default values for options.

def run(self): (source)

Runs the command.

def warn(self, msg): (source)

Counts the number of warnings that occurs.
