2019-10-10Convert standard_kconfig() to argparse for better feedbackUlf Magnusson
Stuff like this is not the pinnacle of helpful design, and hides that the commands actually have long help texts (that can be viewed with pydoc): $ ./menuconfig.py --help [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '--help' Fix it by converting standard_kconfig() to argparse, and add a 'description' argument to it for the command-specific help text. --help now shows the same help text shown by pydoc, and some other error messages are improved as well. Also fix some copy-paste errors and outdated paths in the help texts for the all*config commands.
2019-06-03Have load_config() and write_(min_)config() return messagesUlf Magnusson
Hardcoding load_config() and write_(min_)config() to write any message to stdout is awkward, because it means that the message can't be easily reused when stdout is the wrong place to write it to (e.g. in menuconfig/guiconfig). This gets extra bad now that there's also the "No change to ..." message. Modify load_config() and write_(min_)config() to return the message as a string instead, and have them always return a message, instead of just when 'filename' is None and verbose=True. This makes things flexible and straightforward. Use the new behavior in menuconfig.py and guiconfig.py. They now show "No change to ..." when saving a file doesn't modify it. Tools that want to write messages to stdout should now do print(kconf.load_config()) / print(kconf.write_config()). There's no clean way to preserve perfect backwards compatibility here, but keep accepting the 'verbose' argument and print a deprecation warning if a value is ever passed for it. That way, scripts will keep running, though possibly with less output on stdout. This changes the meaning of the load_config() return value as well, though I suspect it was only ever used by the menuconfig/guiconfig interfaces. The new behavior applies for kconfiglib.VERSION >= (12, 0, 0).
2019-03-22Whitespace consistency nitUlf Magnusson
2019-03-22Convert some comments to module docstrings in utilitiesUlf Magnusson
This makes running pydoc(3) on the utilities helpful. Reuse the module docstring for the --help text for utilities that use argparse. Also fix some copy-paste errors in the all*config.py descriptions and clean up the language a bit. Piggyback removal of an optimization in allmodconfig.py that's pretty irrelevant now.
2019-03-06Use a consistent style in small utilitiesUlf Magnusson
Also remove some no longer used imports.

2018-12-08Make {load,write}_config(filename=None) implement the standard behaviorUlf Magnusson
Make the previously obligatory 'filename' argument to load_config() and write_config() default to None, and have that implement the behavior you'd usually want: read/write either KCONFIG_CONFIG or ".config" if unset, and read the 'option defconfig_list' configuration file if KCONFIG_CONFIG/".config" doesn't exist. For load_config(), filename=None also allows the configuration file to be missing without raising an error. load_config() returns True if a local configuration file was loaded, which is useful to check in the menuconfig (if no local configuration file exists, we always want to prompt for saving the configuration when exiting). Also add a 'verbose' argument (default True) to load_config() and read_config() that makes them print which files were read/written in filename=None mode. Also generalize olddefconfig.py and oldconfig.py to not require there to already be a local configuration file. This was a bit silly for olddefconfig.py in particular. Remove the examples/defconfig.py script. It's a duplicate of olddefconfig.py.
2018-11-17Add support for KCONFIG_ALLCONFIGUlf Magnusson
This allows some symbol values to be forced while running all{def,no,yes,mod}config.py. See Documentation/kbuild/kconfig.txt in the Linux kernel. Add a helper function load_allconfig() to Kconfiglib to avoid code duplication in the tools. Also add functions for enabling/disabling the warning that's generated when a symbol is assigned multiple times in a (set of) .config files and the values differ. It should be disabled when merging the KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG configuration file. Previously, only the warning generated when the assigned values are identical could be disabled. Disable all warnings related to assigning a symbol multiple times in examples/merge_config.py as well.
2018-06-11Mention KCONFIG_CONFIG in the all*config.py scriptsUlf Magnusson
This environment variable was inherited from the C tools. kconfiglib.standard_config_filename() looks at it.
2018-06-07Add license tag to alldefconfig.pyUlf Magnusson
2018-05-30Add an alldefconfig.py scriptUlf Magnusson
Will be packaged. Piggyback test suite cleanups to make test names match the name of the script being tested.
