How to extend distutils with a simple pre uninstall script?
I found Question#1321270 for post install. My main target for the moment is bdist_wininst, but i did not find anything related to uninstall...
For clarification:
I want to register a com server after installation and de-register it before uninstall.Extended answer:
ars' answer seems correct, however, for the completeness of things (I think the docs leave some room for improvements on this topic...): I have NOT as was suggested by mention of Question#1321270 extendeddistutils.command.install
, but written a new python sript called scripts/install.py
and set the following in setup.py:
setup(
...
scripts=['scripts\install.py'],
options = {
...
"bdist_wininst" : {
"install_script" : "install.py",
...
},
}
)
The install.py is definitively being called on install. It seem开发者_如何学Pythons, though that it is (despite to what the docs say) not being called on uninstall...
The same post-install script will run at uninstall with different arguments. See the docs for more info:
This script will be run at installation time on the target system after all the files have been copied, with argv1 set to -install, and again at uninstallation time before the files are removed with argv1 set to -remove.
