Я как бы просто копирую ответ @ modocache, если вам нужна конкретика.
В этом ответе я буду ссылаться на версию FOO-PYTHON-ENV\Lib\distutils\dist.py
файла для python3.6.
Повторюсь, вы не можете использовать список в author
поле. Вот почему:
Спойлер: DistributionMetadata
Причина в двух методах, принадлежащих классу -
def _read_field(name):
value = msg[name]
if value == 'UNKNOWN':
return None
return value
def _read_list(name):
values = msg.get_all(name, None)
if values == []:
return None
return values
Вот где вы столкнетесь с ошибкой, если попытаетесь вставить список в author
поле:
class DistributionMetadata:
def read_pkg_file(self, file):
"""Reads the metadata values from a file object."""
self.name = _read_field('name')
self.version = _read_field('version')
self.description = _read_field('summary')
self.author = _read_field('author')
self.maintainer = None
self.author_email = _read_field('author-email')
self.maintainer_email = None
self.url = _read_field('home-page')
self.license = _read_field('license')
self.platforms = _read_list('platform')
self.classifiers = _read_list('classifier')
& Вот и все:
class DistributionMetadata:
"""Dummy class to hold the distribution meta-data: name, version,
author, and so forth.
