Add ``--with-wheel-pkg-dir=PATH`` option to the ``./configure`` script. If
|
|
specified, the :mod:`ensurepip` module looks for ``setuptools`` and ``pip``
|
|
wheel packages in this directory: if both are present, these wheel packages
|
|
are used instead of ensurepip bundled wheel packages.
|
|
|
|
Some Linux distribution packaging policies recommend against bundling
|
|
dependencies. For example, Fedora installs wheel packages in the
|
|
``/usr/share/python-wheels/`` directory and don't install the
|
|
``ensurepip._bundled`` package.

When Python is built in debug mode (with C assertions), calling a type slot
|
|
like ``sq_length`` (``__len__()`` in Python) now fails with a fatal error if
|
|
the slot succeeded with an exception set, or failed with no exception set.
|
|
The error message contains the slot, the type name, and the current
|
|
exception (if an exception is set). Patch by Victor Stinner.
