How to convert newlines from CRLF to LF while creating Python sdist?

I'd like to use Windows as my main development platform, but at the same time generate sdist tarballs with LF newlines.

Is there a way to keep CRLF-s in my working directory and turn them automatically to LF-s while doing python setup.py sdist ?

Where are all sdist options documented?

Solution

  • No, there is no simple way to do it. You have to write some code and I'm not sure it'd be easy.

    sdist is a command of distutils and documented at https://docs.python.org/3/distutils/sourcedist.html
