💖 UPGRADE_PYTHONCAPI.PY 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the User Commands section of the manual, and today's main character is upgrade_pythoncapi.py — a whole lil script whose entire job is glow-ups. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

upgrade_pythoncapi.py – upgrade C extension modules to newer Python C API

like. it takes your crusty old C extension and gives it a makeover into newer Python C API. no cap. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

upgrade_pythoncapi.py [-h] [-o OPERATIONS] [-q] [-c] [-B] [-C] [-d PATH]
[file_or_directory ...]

look at her. so many lil flags. so much power. 🎀

✨ OPTIONS ✨

🍓 POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS

  • file_or_directory — the actual files or directories you're pointing at, bestie. this is the what do you want me to work on part. pass one, pass a bunch, it's giving "the more the merrier." 🫶

💜 OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS

  • -h, --help — shows you a help message and then dips (exits). iconic behavior honestly. 💖
  • -o OPERATIONS, --legacy OPERATIONS — a space separated list of operation names to apply. yes, space separated, not comma, don't come for me. it's literally right there. 🌸
  • -q, --quiet — quiet mode. shhh. 🤫 the script stops yapping and just does the thing.
  • -c, --to-stdout — writes the output into stdout instead of modifying files in-place. and yes, it implies quiet mode — she's not gonna chat while she's piping. 🔥
  • -B, --no-backup — do not create .old backup files. bold. brave. slightly terrifying. you've been warned, bestie. 💀
  • -C, --no-compat — don't add:
#include "pythoncapi_compat.h"

that's it. that's the whole vibe. just skipping the compat header. 🧚

  • -d PATH, --download PATH — downloads the latest pythoncapi_compat.h file to the designated PATH. fresh off the press, straight to your directory. 👑
⭐ reminder for the girlies: -c implies -q, and -B means no .old backups exist — so know what you're doing before you commit to the no-backup lifestyle. fr fr.
