test_distutils.test_build_ext() is now able to remove the temporary
directory on Windows: don't import the newly built C extension ("xx")
in the current process, but test it in a separated process.
bdist_wininst depends on MBCS codec, unavailable on non-Windows,
and bdist_wininst have not worked since at least Python 3.2, possibly
never on Python 3.
Here we document that bdist_wininst is only supported on Windows,
and we mark it unsupported otherwise to skip tests.
Distributors of Python 3 can now safely drop the bdist_wininst .exe files
without the need to skip bdist_wininst related tests.
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.
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.
bpo-28552, bpo-7774: Fix distutils.sysconfig if sys.executable is
None or an empty string: use os.getcwd() to initialize project_base.
Fix also the distutils build command: don't use sys.executable if
it's evaluated as false (None or empty string).
shutil.which() and distutils.spawn.find_executable() now use
os.confstr("CS_PATH") if available instead of os.defpath, if the PATH
environment variable is not set.
Don't use os.confstr("CS_PATH") nor os.defpath if the PATH
environment variable is set to an empty string to mimick Unix 'which'
command behavior.
Changes:
* find_executable() now starts by checking for the executable in the
current working directly case. Add an explicit
"if not path: return None".
* Add tests for PATH='' (empty string), PATH=':' and for PATHEXT.
Fix CFLAGS in customize_compiler() of distutils.sysconfig: when the
CFLAGS environment variable is defined, don't override CFLAGS variable with
the OPT variable anymore.

For C++ extensions, distutils tries to replace the C compiler with the
C++ compiler, but it assumes that C compiler is the first element after
any environment variables set. On AIX, linking goes through ld_so_aix,
so it is the first element and the compiler is the next element. Thus
the replacement is faulty:
ld_so_aix gcc ... -> g++ gcc ...
Also, it assumed that self.compiler_cxx had only 1 element or that
there were the same number of elements as the linker has and in the
same order. This might not be the case, so instead concatenate
everything together.
Command line options for the xlc compiler behave differently from gcc and clang,
so skip this test case for now when xlc is the compiler.
Patch by aixtools (Michael Felt)
platform.dist() is deprecated and slated for removal in Python 3.8. The
upload command itself should also not be used to upload to PyPI, but
while it continues to exist it should not use deprecated functions.
Two kind of mistakes:
1. Missed space. After concatenating there is no space between words.
2. Missed comma. Causes unintentional concatenating in a list of strings.
Use "backslashreplace" instead of "unicode-escape". It is not
implementation depended and escapes only non-encodable characters.
Also simplify the code.
* Replace "master process" with "parent process"
* Replace "master option mappings" with "main option mappings"
* Replace "master pattern object" with "main pattern object"
* ssl: replace "master" with "server"
* And some other similar changes
bpo-32430: Rename Modules/Setup.dist to Modules/Setup
Remove the necessity to copy the former manually to the latter when updating the local source tree.
* 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.
* distutils.config: Use the PyPIRCCommand.realm attribute if set
* turtledemo: wait until macOS osascript command completes to not
create a zombie process
* Tools/scripts/treesync.py: declare 'default_answer' and
'create_files' as globals to modify them with the command line
arguments. Previously, -y, -n, -f and -a options had no effect.
flake8 warning: "F841 local variable 'p' is assigned to but never
used".
* Run gzip with separate command line options (Android understands '-f9' as the name of a file).
* Creation of a hard link is controled by SELinux on Android.
kB (*kilo* byte) unit means 1000 bytes, whereas KiB ("kibibyte")
means 1024 bytes. KB was misused: replace kB or KB with KiB when
appropriate.
Same change for MB and GB which become MiB and GiB.
Change the output of Tools/iobench/iobench.py.
Round also the size of the documentation from 5.5 MB to 5 MiB.
The AST_H_DIR variable was removed from Makefile.pre.in by the commit
a5c62a8e9f (bpo-23404).
AST_H_DIR was hardcoded to "Include", so replace the removed variable
by its content.
Remove also ASDLGEN variable from sysconfig example since this
variable was also removed.
BuildExtTestCase of test_distutils now uses support.temp_cwd() in
setUp() to remove files created in the current working in all
BuildExtTestCase unit tests, not only test_build_ext().
Move also tearDown() just after setUp().
