external_python_setuptools/setuptools/tests/test_egg_info.py, branch v21.2.0

Correction for expected dict order when PYTHONHASHSEED=0

2016-04-20T14:16:37+00:00

Add docstrings explaining the intention of the test. Ref #553.

2016-04-20T13:52:13+00:00

It's not necessary to build a file with an empty egg_info.

2016-04-20T13:48:39+00:00

Move Python 2.6 exception into specific test, capturing that the expected order is different on Python 2.6, not because of the lack of OrderedDict, but because of different behavior in RawConfigParser. Ref #553.

2016-04-20T13:47:13+00:00

Extract method for validating the order.

2016-04-20T13:32:34+00:00

Remove superfluous slice

2016-04-20T13:28:12+00:00

Dedent

2016-04-20T13:26:45+00:00

Remove unused import

2016-04-20T13:25:42+00:00

Use OrderedDict to retain deterministic ordering of version info in egg_info command. Remove lexicographic ordering in setopt.edit_config. Ref #553

2016-04-20T13:25:21+00:00

Preserve order of egg_info section in setup.cfg

2016-04-19T17:34:47+00:00

egg_info is the dictionary with information that is injected
into setup.cfg. edit_config uses RawConfigParser which uses
collections.OrderedDict for all the data. When we use a
simple dict(), when we loop through items in edit_config, we
see random behavior as a result the fields
tag_svn_revision/tag_date/tag_build are added to the setup.cfg
randomly. So if we sort the items by key when we traverse items
we will get deterministic output as RawConfigParser uses
OrderedDict internally by default.
