- &SCons; now supports the ability for a Builder to be located within a sub-directory of the toolpath.
- This is similar to namespacing within python.
-
- Normally when loading a tool into the environment, scons will search for the tool within two locations
- </para>
-
- <sconstruct>
-# Regular non namespace target
-env = Environment(ENV = os.environ, tools = ['SomeTool'])
-env.SomeTool(targets, sources)
- </sconstruct>
-
- <para>
- The locations would include
- <filename>SCons\Tool\SomeTool.py</filename>
- <filename>SCons\Tool\SomeTool\__init__.py</filename>
- <filename>.\site_scons\site_tools\SomeTool.py</filename>
- <filename>.\site_scons\site_tools\SomeTool\__init__.py</filename>
-
- If a toolpath is specified this is also searched as well.
- With nested or namespaced tools we can use the dot notation to specify a sub-directoty that the tool is located under
- </para>
-
- <sconstruct>
-# namespaced target
-env = Environment(ENV = os.environ, tools = ['SubDir1.SubDir2.SomeTool'])
-env.SomeTool(targets, sources)
- </sconstruct>
-
- <para>
- With this example the search locations would include
- <filename>SCons\Tool\SubDir1\SubDir2\SomeTool.py</filename>
- <filename>SCons\Tool\SubDir1\SubDir2\SomeTool\__init__.py</filename>
- <filename>.\site_scons\site_tools\SubDir1\SubDir2\SomeTool.py</filename>
- <filename>.\site_scons\site_tools\SubDir1\SubDir2\SomeTool\__init__.py</filename>
-
- It's important to note when creating tools within sub-directories, there needs to be a __init__.py file within each directory.
- This file can just be empty however.
- This is the same constraint used by python when loading modules from within sub-directories (packages).
