This allows catalyst to work regardless of whether a user prefers that
usr/bin/python be python 2.x or 3.x.

Rather than appending a directory to the system path, this patch adds a
__init__.py file to modules, which allows python to search it, and it's
children for python modules. This with the import...as syntax allows for
a cleaner import of python modules without changing any other parts of
the catalyst file.

Combining multiple modules into a single import is discouraged in
python's PEP8 style guide:
"""
Imports should usually be on separate lines, e.g.:
Yes: import os
import sys
No: import sys, os

Code in the upstream tree should either run or it shouldn't be there.

Have you ever wondered why you had patches sitting in a branch for months
without sending them to the list? It's probably because one in the middle
doesn't work :(. That happens to be this one.
Expect a v2 with this patch fixed.

I'll reply to all 4 patches from this one.
This is not needed due to the way python apps are wrapped during
install. bin/catalyst is renamed to bin/catalyst-python2.x and a
python-exec script replaces the original bin/catalyst. This is only
good for running the code directly from the git checkout. Also, we plan
to make the code python-3 capable as soon as a few more main code
changes are done.
As for the other patches, that work is already done in my rewrite and
will be taking over the master branch soon. It is the 3.0 branch which
has been rebased to the rewrite-on-master branch. There are a couple
rebase errors to fix on it still.
http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/catalyst.git
I have also been working on rewriting the compress/decompress code in
catalyst. This new code, the compression type will be easily
configurable. Decompression will autodetect the type needed by
extension (also configurable). I still need to add the configure
portions of the code before merging that in.
my working code is at:
http://dev.gentoo.org/~dolsen/catalyst/
I have been unable to get any work done on it for awhile. I had a work
accident making things difficult. The we sold our house and moved. I'm
still getting settled in and unpacked.
I'll be getting back to it again very soon.
Join us in the #gentoo-releng channel. We can discuss what else can be
worked on. I need to update the todo list for the rewrite.

What do we gain by doing this in the ebuild's src_install() over doing
it in? Because...

actually seems useful. We've had clearly broken commits go upstream,
and if the author had been able to test from a git checkout we
probably could have avoided that.

This isn't a reason to not specify the correct version of python.

Sounds like it shouldn't be any trouble to rebase on top of Dylan's
patches, which are (pending the v2 of patch 2) read to be applied to
master.
What I mean is that I don't want to turn down contributions from new
developers because there's a big backlog of work that hasn't gone
upstream.

Which is why I made the rewrite code able to run from the checkout fully
and properly. Just cd into the directory, run "source ./testpath" and
it's will run completely from the checkout.

I don't want to discourage others either. It is just much better to
encourage some help on the rewrite in my opinion. Especially since
patches 2 & 3 have already been done in the rewrite branch. Some of
patch 4 might have been done already, but likely not all. If the
rewrite is to take over from the master branch...
The rewrite is not far from being able to take over as master. There
are a few rebase errors in the rewrite-on-master you did. There is some
cleanup work to do on the autoresume operation. Then a little more
testing with the tree defaults relocated to ensure I haven't missed any
hard coding.
The default tree location move is waiting on the catalyst rewrite code
to go live producing stages, etc..

No, you should be moving patches that are reviewed and tested to
master (which means rebasing on master and sending patches to the
mailing list).

The development model on git is to make incremental changes that do
not break things. I've been saying this for a while.
The code needs to be reviewed as well. Maybe Dylan, who has been
cleaning up a lot of python code in another project, would be willing
to help review as well.

I'm exactly sure what this means, but I think you might mean something
like renaming master to old-master and your branch to master. That's
not the right way to do it, and that's not how git works.

I'd be more than happy to help review things. I've paged through the rewrite-
on-master branch a bit, and there's definately some good work going on there,
but there are also so things that could be polished up a bit.

No, completely wrong. The default tree location is going to be moved
from /usr/portage to somewhere in /var (they never could agree where)
and distfiles and packages directories are being moved out of the
PORTDIR tree directory.
Current catalyst master code has tree paths hardcoded everywhere. Not
only that, but the paths are often used as both a path and a variable
name in many places.
That makes it impossible for the tree move to happen and have catalyst
work correctly to produce stages, etc. with the new default locations.
That is why I started to work on catalyst in the first place. But the
code is such a mess, I couldn't stop there with the encouragement of
many from the releng team.
