The changed behavior of sdist in 3.1 broke packaging for projects that
wanted to use a manually-maintained MANIFEST file (instead of having a
MANIFEST.in template and letting distutils generate the MANIFEST).
The fixes that were committed for #8688 (76643c286b9f by Tarek and
d54da9248ed9 by me) did not fix all issues exposed in the bug report,
and also added one problem: the MANIFEST file format gained comments,
but the read_manifest method was not updated to handle (i.e. ignore)
them. This changeset should fix everything; the tests have been
expanded and I successfully tested the 2.7 version with Mercurial, which
suffered from this regression.
I have grouped the versionchanged directives for these bugs in one place
and added micro version numbers to help users know the quirks of the
exact version they’re using.
Initial report, thorough diagnosis and patch by John Dennis, further
work on the patch by Stephen Thorne, and a few edits and additions by
me.
set the MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET env variable for the interpreter process
on OS X. This could cause failures in non-distutils subprocesses and was
unreliable since tests or user programs could modify the interpreter
environment after distutils set it. Instead, have distutils set the
the deployment target only in the environment of each build subprocess.
Continue to use the previous algorithm for deriving the deployment target
value:
if MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET is not set in the interpreter's env:
use the interpreter build configure MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET
elif the MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET env value >= configure value:
use the env MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET
else: # env value less than interpreter build configure value
raise exception
This allows building extensions that can only run on newer versions of
the OS than the version python was built for, for example with a python
built for 10.3 or later and an extension that needs to be built for 10.5.
The tests now pass all combinations of -O/-OO and -B. See also #7071
and #6292 for previous variations on the same theme.
test_versionpredicate needs a skip when sys.flags.optimize is true, but
I don’t know how to make that work with a DocTestSuite.
Without this patch python will fail to start properly when the environment
variable MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET is set on MacOSX and has a value that is
not compatible with the value during Python's build. This is caused by code
in sysconfig that was only meant to be used in disutils.
non-ASCII path (path to the Python executable). Open and write the script in
binary mode, but ensure that the shebang is decodable from UTF-8 and from the
encoding of the script.

The missing NEWS entries correspond to changes that were made before 3.1.3, but
I think it’s not usual to edit entries of released versions, so I put them at
the top.
