Define *posix_venv* and *nt_venv* sysconfig installation schemes
to be used for bootstrapping new virtual environments.
Add *venv* sysconfig installation scheme to get the appropriate one of the above.
The schemes are identical to the pre-existing
*posix_prefix* and *nt* install schemes.
The venv module now uses the *venv* scheme to create new virtual environments
instead of hardcoding the paths depending only on the platform. Downstream
Python distributors customizing the *posix_prefix* or *nt* install
scheme in a way that is not compatible with the install scheme used in
virtual environments are encouraged not to customize the *venv* schemes.
When Python itself runs in a virtual environment,
sysconfig.get_default_scheme and
sysconfig.get_preferred_scheme with `key="prefix"` returns
*venv*.
musl libc and gnu libc are not ABI compatible so we need set different
SOABI for musl and not simply assume that all linux is linux-gnu.
Replace linux-gnu with the detected os for the build from config.guess
for linux-musl*.
The getpath.py file is frozen at build time and executed as code over a namespace. It is never imported, nor is it meant to be importable or reusable. However, it should be easier to read, modify, and patch than the previous code.
This commit attempts to preserve every previously tested quirk, but these may be changed in the future to better align platforms.
sys._base_executable is now always defined on all platforms, and can be overridden through configuration.
Also adds test.support.PythonSymlink to encapsulate platform-specific logic for symlinking sys.executable
module binaries, with a platform triple of just "darwin", resulting in
file names like:
_ssl.cpython-35m-darwin.so
rather than just _ssl.so as previously.
Instead of attempting to encode differences in CPU architecture and OS X
deployment targets in the file name as is done on other platforms,
these continue to be managed by the use of Apple multi-architecture
("fat") files, by the system dynamic loader, and by logic in higher-levels
like sysconfig.get_platform() and pip.
tailoring for universal builds by factoring out common OS X-specific
customizations from sysconfig, distutils.sysconfig, distutils.util,
and distutils.unixccompiler into a new module _osx_support that can
eventually also be used by packaging.
We need a discussion to define what should be customized how; this new
config file is premature. It was added to serve the needs of the
resources system in install_data / packaging.database, so it can be
removed alongside packaging for 3.3.
