bpo-41282: Fix broken `make install` (GH-26329)
A previous commit broke a check in sysconfig when building cpython itself.
This caused builds of the standard library modules to search a wrong
location (the installed location rather than the source directory) for
header files with the net effect that a ``make install``
incorrectly caused all extension modules to be rebuilt again and
with incorrect include file paths.

When building Python, we need two distinct "include" directories:
- source .h files
- install target for .h files

Note that this doesn't matter except when building Python from source.

Historically:
- source .h files were in the distutils scheme under 'include'
- the install directory was in the distutils.command.install scheme
    under 'headers'

GH-24549 merged these; sysconfig is now the single source of truth and
distutils is derived from it.

This commit introduces a "secret" scheme path, 'headers', which contains
the install target. It is only present when building Python.
The distutils code uses it if present, and falls back to 'include'.

bpo-41282: (PEP 632) Load install schemes from sysconfig (GH-24549)
With this patch, `distutils.command.install.INSTALL_SCHEMES` are loaded from
`sysconfig._INSTALL_SCHEMES`.

The distutils module is deprecated and will be removed in 3.12 (PEP 632).
This change makes the `sysconfig._INSTALL_SCHEMES` the single point of truth
for install schemes while keeping `distutils.command.install.INSTALL_SCHEMES`
exactly the same. If we, during the transition to the sysconfig, change
something, this makes sure that it also propagates to distutils until the
module gets removed.

Moreover, as discussed [on Discourse], Linux distros need to patch
distutils/sysconfig to make sure the packages will land in proper locations.
This patch makes it easier because it leaves only one location where install
schemes are defined which is much easier to patch/adjust.

[on Discourse]: https://discuss.python.org/t/pep-632-deprecate-distutils-module/5134

The implementation is slightly different than the plan but I think it's the
easiest way how to do it and it also makes the downstream patch simple,
flexible and easy to maintain.

It's also necessary to implement this before setuptools starts bundling
the distutils module so the default install schemes stay in the standard library.

The removed code from sysconfig does not seem to have any negative effect
because, honestly, it seems that nothing actually uses the install schemes
from sysconfig at all. There were many big changes in these modules where
they were trying to include packaging in stdlib and then reverted that.
Also, the test of distutils install command does not count with the different
locations which is good evidence that the reason to have this piece of code
is no longer valid.

bpo-1294959: Add sys.platlibdir attribute (GH-18381)
Add --with-platlibdir option to the configure script: name of the
platform-specific library directory, stored in the new sys.platlitdir
attribute. It is used to build the path of platform-specific dynamic
libraries and the path of the standard library.

It is equal to "lib" on most platforms. On Fedora and SuSE, it is
equal to "lib64" on 64-bit systems.

  - Issue #2550: The approach used by client/server code for obtaining ports
    to listen on in network-oriented tests has been refined in an effort to
    facilitate running multiple instances of the entire regression test suite
    in parallel without issue.  test_support.bind_port() has been fixed such
    that it will always return a unique port -- which wasn't always the case
    with the previous implementation, especially if socket options had been
    set that affected address reuse (i.e. SO_REUSEADDR, SO_REUSEPORT).  The
    new implementation of bind_port() will actually raise an exception if it
    is passed an AF_INET/SOCK_STREAM socket with either the SO_REUSEADDR or
    SO_REUSEPORT socket option set.  Furthermore, if available, bind_port()
    will set the SO_EXCLUSIVEADDRUSE option on the socket it's been passed.
    This currently only applies to Windows.  This option prevents any other
    sockets from binding to the host/port we've bound to, thus removing the
    possibility of the 'non-deterministic' behaviour, as Microsoft puts it,
    that occurs when a second SOCK_STREAM socket binds and accepts to a
    host/port that's already been bound by another socket.  The optional
    preferred port parameter to bind_port() has been removed.  Under no
    circumstances should tests be hard coding ports!

    test_support.find_unused_port() has also been introduced, which will pass
    a temporary socket object to bind_port() in order to obtain an unused port.
    The temporary socket object is then closed and deleted, and the port is
    returned.  This method should only be used for obtaining an unused port
    in order to pass to an external program (i.e. the -accept [port] argument
    to openssl's s_server mode) or as a parameter to a server-oriented class
    that doesn't give you direct access to the underlying socket used.

    Finally, test_support.HOST has been introduced, which should be used for
    the host argument of any relevant socket calls (i.e. bind and connect).

    The following tests were updated to following the new conventions:
      test_socket, test_smtplib, test_asyncore, test_ssl, test_httplib,
      test_poplib, test_ftplib, test_telnetlib, test_socketserver,
      test_asynchat and test_socket_ssl.

    It is now possible for multiple instances of the regression test suite to
    run in parallel without issue.

  So long xrange.  range() now supports values that are outside
  -sys.maxint to sys.maxint.  floats raise a TypeError.

  This has been sitting for a long time.  It probably has some problems and
  needs cleanup.  Objects/rangeobject.c now uses 4-space indents since
  it is almost completely new.

Guido van Rossum 572dbf8f13 Checkpoint. Manipulated things so that string literals are always
unicode, and a few other compensating changes, e.g. str <- unicode,
chr <- unichr, and repr() of a unicode string no longer starts
with 'u'.  Lots of unit tests are broken, but some basic things
work, in particular distutils works so the extensions can be built,
and test_builtin.py works.

Neal Norwitz 9d72bb452b Remove functions in string module that are also string methods. Also remove:
* all calls to functions in the string module (except maketrans)
 * everything from stropmodule except for maketrans() which is still used

Guido van Rossum be19ed77dd Fix most trivially-findable print statements.
There's one major and one minor category still unfixed:
doctests are the major category (and I hope to be able to augment the
refactoring tool to refactor bona fide doctests soon);
other code generating print statements in strings is the minor category.

(Oh, and I don't know if the compiler package works.)

Thomas Wouters 49fd7fa443 Merge p3yk branch with the trunk up to revision 45595. This breaks a fair
number of tests, all because of the codecs/_multibytecodecs issue described
here (it's not a Py3K issue, just something Py3K discovers):
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2006-April/064051.html

Hye-Shik Chang promised to look for a fix, so no need to fix it here. The
tests that are expected to break are:

test_codecencodings_cn
test_codecencodings_hk
test_codecencodings_jp
test_codecencodings_kr
test_codecencodings_tw
test_codecs
test_multibytecodec

This merge fixes an actual test failure (test_weakref) in this branch,
though, so I believe merging is the right thing to do anyway.

Anthony Baxter 05f842bae2 Basic dependency checking. setup() has two new optional arguments
requires and provides. requires is a sequence of strings, of the
form 'packagename-version'. The dependency checking so far merely
does an '__import__(packagename)' and checks for packagename.__version__
You can also leave off the version, and any version of the package
will be installed.
There's a special case for the package 'python' - sys.version_info
is used, so
requires= ( 'python-2.3', )
just works.

Provides is of the same format as requires - but if it's not supplied,
a provides is generated by adding the version to each entry in packages,
or modules if packages isn't there.
Provides is currently only used in the PKG-INFO file. Shortly, PyPI
will grow the ability to accept these lines, and register will be
updated to send them.

There's a new command 'checkdep' command that runs these checks.
For this version, only greater-than-or-equal checking is done. We'll
add the ability to specify an optional operator later.
