In Python 3.9.0a1, sys.argv[0] was made an asolute path if a filename
was specified on the command line. Revert this change, since most
users expect sys.argv to be unmodified.
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)
Fix warnings options priority: PyConfig.warnoptions has the highest
priority, as stated in the PEP 587.
* Document options order in PyConfig.warnoptions documentation.
* Make PyWideStringList_INIT macro private: replace "Py" prefix
with "_Py".
* test_embed: add test_init_warnoptions().
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.
PyConfig_Read() is now responsible to handle early calls to
PySys_AddXOption() and PySys_AddWarnOption().
Options added by PySys_AddXOption() are now handled the same way than
PyConfig.xoptions and command line -X options.
For example, PySys_AddXOption(L"faulthandler") enables faulthandler
as expected.
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
Python now gets the absolute path of the script filename specified on
the command line (ex: "python3 script.py"): the __file__ attribute of
the __main__ module, sys.argv[0] and sys.path[0] become an absolute
path, rather than a relative path.
* Add _Py_isabs() and _Py_abspath() functions.
* _PyConfig_Read() now tries to get the absolute path of
run_filename, but keeps the relative path if _Py_abspath() fails.
* Reimplement os._getfullpathname() using _Py_abspath().
* Use _Py_isabs() in getpath.c.
