Function Documentation

◆ find_executable()

def setuptools._distutils.spawn.find_executable (   executable,
  path = None 
)
Tries to find 'executable' in the directories listed in 'path'.

A string listing directories separated by 'os.pathsep'; defaults to
os.environ['PATH'].  Returns the complete filename or None if not found.

◆ spawn()

def setuptools._distutils.spawn.spawn (   cmd,
  search_path = 1,
  verbose = 0,
  dry_run = 0,
  env = None 
)
Run another program, specified as a command list 'cmd', in a new process.

'cmd' is just the argument list for the new process, ie.
cmd[0] is the program to run and cmd[1:] are the rest of its arguments.
There is no way to run a program with a name different from that of its
executable.

If 'search_path' is true (the default), the system's executable
search path will be used to find the program; otherwise, cmd[0]
must be the exact path to the executable.  If 'dry_run' is true,
the command will not actually be run.

Raise DistutilsExecError if running the program fails in any way; just
return on success.
