Check Reference
This page describes each of the checks that pydistcheck
performs.
The section headings correspond to the error codes printed in pydistcheck
’s output.
distro-too-large-compressed
Indicates that the package distribution is larger (compressed) than the allowed size.
Change that limit using configuration option max-distro-size-compressed
.
distro-too-large-uncompressed
Indicates that the package distribution is larger (uncompressed) than the allowed size.
Change that limit using configuration option max-distro-size-uncompressed
.
too-many-files
too-many-files
is raised whenever pydistcheck
encounters a package distribution
that contains more than the allowed number of files.
This is a very very rough way to detect that unexpected files have been included in a new release of a project.
pydistcheck
defaults to raising this error when a distribution has more than 2000 files…a totally arbitrary number chosen by the author.
To change that limit, use configuration option max-allowed-files
.
