- minor cleanup in Metadata
- trigger creation of the sysconfig._CONFIG_VARS dict
- home_page is used over home-page: it’s not a compound word, it’s an
escaped space
Distutils2 is now synchronized with Packaging.
These options were used to implement “setup.py --name”,
“setup.py --version”, etc. which are now handled by the pysetup metadata
action or direct parsing of the setup.cfg file.
As a side effect, the Distribution class no longer accepts a 'url' key
in its *attrs* argument: it has to be 'home-page' to be recognized as a
valid metadata field and passed down to the dist.metadata object.
I cleaned up some comments, docstrings and code along the way.
Victor Stinner diagnosed on #12167 that some reference leaks came from
util._path_created, a set used for caching; there are two tests that
cause additions to this set, so now they clear it in tearDown, avoiding
17 refleaks. (My tests show that it’s necessary to clear the set in
only one test, clearing it in both does not stop more refleaks, but
there’s no harm in doing it.)
