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.
The change in gh-28586 (bpo-45211) should not have included code to set _Py_path_config.stdlib_dir in Py_SetPythonHome(). We fix that here.
https://bugs.python.org/issue45471
During runtime startup we figure out the stdlib dir but currently throw that information away. This change preserves it and exposes it via PyConfig.stdlib_dir, _Py_GetStdlibDir(), and sys._stdlib_dir.

Fix _PyConfig_Read() if compute_path_config=0: use values set by
Py_SetPath(), Py_SetPythonHome() and Py_SetProgramName(). Add
compute_path_config parameter to _PyConfig_InitPathConfig().
The following functions now return NULL if called before
Py_Initialize():
* Py_GetExecPrefix()
* Py_GetPath()
* Py_GetPrefix()
* Py_GetProgramFullPath()
* Py_GetProgramName()
* Py_GetPythonHome()
These functions no longer automatically computes the Python Path
Configuration. Moreover, Py_SetPath() no longer computes
program_full_path.
The Py_FatalError() function is replaced with a macro which logs
automatically the name of the current function, unless the
Py_LIMITED_API macro is defined.
Changes:
* Add _Py_FatalErrorFunc() function.
* Remove the function name from the message of Py_FatalError() calls
which included the function name.
* Update tests.
* _Py_FindEnvConfigValue() now returns a string allocated
by PyMem_RawMalloc().
* calculate_init() now decodes VPATH macro.
* Add calculate_open_pyenv() function.
* Add substring() and joinpath2() functions.
* Fix add_exe_suffix()
And a few cleanup changes.
For now, we'll rely on the fact that the config structures aren't covered by the stable ABI.
We may revisit this in the future if we further explore the idea of offering a stable embedding API.
(cherry picked from commit bdace21b76)
Add a new struct_size field to PyPreConfig and PyConfig structures to
allow to modify these structures in the future without breaking the
backward compatibility.
* Replace private _config_version field with public struct_size field
in PyPreConfig and PyConfig.
* Public PyPreConfig_InitIsolatedConfig() and
PyPreConfig_InitPythonConfig()
return type becomes PyStatus, instead of void.
* Internal _PyConfig_InitCompatConfig(),
_PyPreConfig_InitCompatConfig(), _PyPreConfig_InitFromConfig(),
_PyPreConfig_InitFromPreConfig() return type becomes PyStatus,
instead of void.
* Remove _Py_CONFIG_VERSION
* Update the Initialization Configuration documentation.
* Py_InitializeFromConfig() now writes PyConfig path configuration to
the global path configuration (_Py_path_config).
* Add test_embed.test_get_pathconfig().
* Fix typo in _PyWideStringList_Join().
* Add test_embed.test_init_setpath_config(): test Py_SetPath()
with PyConfig.
* test_init_setpath() and test_init_setpythonhome() no longer call
Py_SetProgramName(), but use the default program name.
* _PyPathConfig: isolated, site_import and base_executable
fields are now only available on Windows.
* If executable is set explicitly in the configuration, ignore
calculated base_executable: _PyConfig_InitPathConfig() copies
executable to base_executable.
* Complete path config documentation.
Py_SetPath() now sets sys.executable to the program full path
(Py_GetProgramFullPath()), rather than to the program name
(Py_GetProgramName()).
Fix also memory leaks in pathconfig_set_from_config().
* _PyConfig_InitPathConfig() now starts by copying the global path
configuration, and then override values set in PyConfig.
* _PyPathConfig_Calculate() implementations no longer override
_PyPathConfig fields which are already computed. For example,
if _PyPathConfig.prefix is not NULL, leave it unchanged.
* If Py_SetPath() has been called, _PyConfig_InitPathConfig() doesn't
call _PyPathConfig_Calculate() anymore.
* _PyPathConfig_Calculate() no longer uses PyConfig,
except to initialize PyCalculatePath structure.
* pathconfig_calculate(): remove useless temporary
"_PyPathConfig new_config" variable.
* calculate_module_search_path(): remove hack to workaround memory
allocation failure, call Py_FatalError() instead.
* Fix get_program_full_path(): handle memory allocation failure.
* If Py_SetPath() has been called, _PyConfig_InitPathConfig() now
uses its value.
* Py_Initialize() now longer copies path configuration from PyConfig
to the global path configuration (_Py_path_config).
The DLL path is not computed from any user configuration and cannot
be configured by PyConfig. Instead, add a new _Py_dll_path global variable.
Remove _PyConfig_SetPathConfig(): replaced with _PyPathConfig_Init().
Py_Initialize() now longer sets the "global path configuration",
but only initialize _Py_dll_path.
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
* _PyPreConfig_GetGlobalConfig() and _PyCoreConfig_GetGlobalConfig()
now do nothing if the configuration was not initialized with
_PyPreConfig_InitCompatConfig() and _PyCoreConfig_InitCompatConfig()
* Remove utf8_mode=-2 special case: use utf8_mode=-1 instead.
* Fix _PyPreConfig_InitPythonConfig():
* isolated = 0 instead of -1
* use_environment = 1 instead of -1
* Rename _PyConfig_INIT to _PyConfig_INIT_COMPAT
* Rename _PyPreConfig_Init() to _PyPreConfig_InitCompatConfig()
* Rename _PyCoreConfig_Init() to _PyCoreConfig_InitCompatConfig()
* PyInterpreterState_New() now uses _PyCoreConfig_InitPythonConfig()
as default configuration, but it's very quickly overriden anyway.
* _freeze_importlib.c uses _PyCoreConfig_SetString() to set
program_name.
* Cleanup preconfig_init_utf8_mode(): cmdline is always non-NULL.
Add new functions to get the Python interpreter behavior:
* _PyPreConfig_InitPythonConfig()
* _PyCoreConfig_InitPythonConfig()
Add new functions to get an isolated configuration:
* _PyPreConfig_InitIsolatedConfig()
* _PyCoreConfig_InitIsolatedConfig()
Replace _PyPreConfig_INIT and _PyCoreConfig_INIT with new functions
_PyPreConfig_Init() and _PyCoreConfig_Init().
_PyCoreConfig: set configure_c_stdio and parse_argv to 0 by default
to behave as Python 3.6 in the default configuration.
_PyCoreConfig_Read() no longer sets coerce_c_locale_warn to 1 if it's
equal to 0. coerce_c_locale_warn must now be set to -1 (ex: using
_PyCoreConfig_InitPythonConfig()) to enable C locale coercion
warning.
Add unit tests for _PyCoreConfig_InitPythonConfig()
and _PyCoreConfig_InitIsolatedConfig().
Changes:
* Rename _PyCoreConfig_GetCoreConfig() to _PyPreConfig_GetCoreConfig()
* Fix core_read_precmdline(): handle parse_argv=0
* Fix _Py_PreInitializeFromCoreConfig(): pass coreconfig.argv
to _Py_PreInitializeFromPyArgv(), except if parse_argv=0
We cannot use "unsigned int" for exitcode on Windows, since
Py_Main() and _Py_RunMain() always return an "int".
Changes:
* _PyPathConfig_ComputeSysPath0() now returns -1 if an exception is
raised.
* pymain_run_python() no longer uses _PyInitError but display the
exception and set exitcode to 1 in case of error.
* Fix _Py_RunMain(): return an exitcode rather than calling
exit() on pymain_run_python() failure.
* _Py_ExitInitError() no longer uses ExitProcess() on Windows, use
exit() on all platforms.
* _Py_ExitInitError() now fails with a fatal error if 'err' is not an
error not an exit.
* _PyCoreConfig_Write() now updates _PyRuntime.preconfig
* Remove _PyPreCmdline_Copy()
* _PyPreCmdline_Read() now accepts _PyPreConfig and _PyCoreConfig
optional configurations.
* Rename _PyPreConfig_ReadFromArgv() to _PyPreConfig_Read(). Simplify
the code.
* Calling _PyCoreConfig_Read() no longer adds the warning options
twice: don't add a warning option if it's already in the list.
* Rename _PyCoreConfig_ReadFromArgv() to _PyCoreConfig_Read().
* Rename config_from_cmdline() to _PyCoreConfig_ReadFromArgv().
* Add more assertions on _PyCoreConfig in _PyCoreConfig_Read().
* Move some functions.
* Make some config functions private.
Prepare code to move some _PyPreConfig parameters into _PyPreCmdline.
Changes:
* _PyCoreConfig_ReadFromArgv(): remove preconfig parameter,
use _PyRuntime.preconfig.
* Add _PyPreCmdline_GetPreConfig() (called by _PyPreConfig_Read()).
* Rename _PyPreCmdline_Init() to _PyPreCmdline_SetArgv()
* Factorize _Py_PreInitializeFromPreConfig() code: add
pyinit_preinit().
* _PyPreConfig_Read() now sets coerce_c_locale to 2 if it must be
coerced.
* Remove _PyCoreConfig_ReadPreConfig().
* _PyCoreConfig_Write() now copies updated preconfig into _PyRuntime.
* _PyPathConfig_ComputeSysPath0() now returns 0 if argv is empty.
* Cleanup also _PyPathConfig_ComputeSysPath0() code: move variables
definitions closer to where they are used.
At Python initialization, the current directory is no longer
prepended to sys.path if it has been removed.
Rename _PyPathConfig_ComputeArgv0() to
_PyPathConfig_ComputeSysPath0() to avoid confusion between argv[0]
and sys.path[0].
Python initialization now fails if decoding pybuilddir.txt
configuration file fails at startup.
_PyPathConfig_Calculate() now reports memory allocation failure and
decoding error on decoding pybuilddir.txt content from
UTF-8/surrogateescape.
Replace messy _Py_wstrlist_xxx() functions with a new clean
_PyWstrList structure and new _PyWstrList_xxx() functions.
Changes:
* Add _PyCoreConfig.use_module_search_paths to decide if
_PyCoreConfig.module_search_paths should be computed or not, to
support empty search path list.
* _PyWstrList_Clear() sets length to 0 and items to NULL, whereas
_Py_wstrlist_clear() only freed memory.
* _PyWstrList_Append() returns an int, whereas _Py_wstrlist_append()
returned _PyInitError.
* _PyWstrList uses Py_ssize_t for the length, instead of int.
* Replace (int, wchar_t**) with _PyWstrList in:
* _PyPreConfig
* _PyCoreConfig
* _PyPreCmdline
* _PyCmdline
* Replace "int orig_argv; wchar_t **orig_argv;"
with "_PyWstrList orig_argv".
* _PyCmdline and _PyPreCmdline now also copy wchar_argv.
* Rename _PyArgv_Decode() to _PyArgv_AsWstrList().
* PySys_SetArgvEx() now pass the fixed (argc, argv) to
_PyPathConfig_ComputeArgv0() (don't pass negative argc or NULL
argv).
* _PyOS_GetOpt() uses Py_ssize_t
* Add _PyPreConfig structure
* Move 'ignored' and 'use_environment' fields from _PyCoreConfig
to _PyPreConfig
* Add a new "_PyPreConfig preconfig;" field to _PyCoreConfig
Add a new _Py_INIT_EXIT() macro to be able to exit Python with an
exitcode using _PyInitError API. Rewrite function calls by
pymain_main() to use _PyInitError.
Changes:
* Remove _PyMain.err and _PyMain.status field
* Add _Py_INIT_EXIT() macro and _PyInitError.exitcode field.
* Rename _Py_FatalInitError() to _Py_ExitInitError().
The whole coreconfig.h header is now excluded from Py_LIMITED_API.
Move functions definitions into a new internal pycore_coreconfig.h
header.
* Move Include/coreconfig.h to Include/cpython/coreconfig.h
* coreconfig.h header is now excluded from Py_LIMITED_API
* Move functions to pycore_coreconfig.h
Unicode version of Windows APIs are used in places, but not for GetVersionEx in Python/sysmodule.c
The wcstok_s is called on Windows in Modules/main.c and PC/launcher.c, but not in Python/pathconfig.c
