This change:
* merges `distutils.sysconfig` into `sysconfig` while keeping the original functionality and
* marks `distutils.sysconfig` as deprecated
https://bugs.python.org/issue41282
The distutils bdist_wininst command deprecated in Python 3.8 has been
removed. The distutils bidst_wheel command is now recommended to
distribute binary packages on Windows.
* Remove Lib/distutils/command/bdist_wininst.py
* Remove PC/bdist_wininst/ project
* Remove Lib/distutils/command/wininst-*.exe programs
* Remove all references to bdist_wininst
Provides a richer platform tag for AIX that we expect to be sufficient for PEP 425
binary distribution identification. Any backports to earlier Python versions will be
handled via setuptools.
Patch by Michael Felt.
It is also possible to link against a library or executable with a
statically linked libpython, but not both with the same DLL. In fact
building a statically linked python is currently broken on Cygwin
for other (related) reasons.
The same problem applies to other POSIX-like layers over Windows
(MinGW, MSYS) but Python's build system does not seem to attempt
to support those platforms at the moment.
Removes more legacy distutils documentation, and more clearly
marks what is left as potentially outdated, with references to
setuptools as a replacement.
On Unix, C extensions are no longer linked to libpython.
It is now possible to load a C extension built using a shared library
Python with a statically linked Python.
When Python is embedded, libpython must not be loaded with
RTLD_LOCAL, but RTLD_GLOBAL instead. Previously, using RTLD_LOCAL, it
was already not possible to load C extensions which were not linked
to libpython, like C extensions of the standard library built by the
"*shared*" section of Modules/Setup.
distutils, python-config and python-config.py have been modified.
* Rather than raise TypeError, warn and call list() on the value.
* Fix tests, revise NEWS and whatsnew text.
* Revise documentation, a string is okay as well.
* Ensure 'requires' and 'obsoletes' are real lists.
* Test that requires and obsoletes are turned to lists.
The concept of .pyo files no longer exists. Now .pyc files have an
optional `opt-` tag which specifies if any extra optimizations beyond
the peepholer were applied.
These files are created by some NFS clients a file is edited and removed
concurrently (see added link in doc for more info). If such a file is
removed between distutils calls listdir and copy, it will get confused.
Other special files are ignored in sdist (namely VCS directories), but
this has to be filtered out earlier.
