Python now supports checking bytecode cache up-to-dateness with a hash of the
source contents rather than volatile source metadata. See the PEP for details.
While a fairly straightforward idea, quite a lot of code had to be modified due
to the pervasiveness of pyc implementation details in the codebase. Changes in
this commit include:
- The core changes to importlib to understand how to read, validate, and
regenerate hash-based pycs.
- Support for generating hash-based pycs in py_compile and compileall.
- Modifications to our siphash implementation to support passing a custom
key. We then expose it to importlib through _imp.
- Updates to all places in the interpreter, standard library, and tests that
manually generate or parse pyc files to grok the new format.
- Support in the interpreter command line code for long options like
--check-hash-based-pycs.
- Tests and documentation for all of the above.
Issue #26100:
* Add subprocess._optim_args_from_interpreter_flags()
* Add test.support.optim_args_from_interpreter_flags()
* Use new functions in distutils, test_cmd_line_script, test_compileall and
test_inspect
The change enables test_details() test of test_inspect when -O or -OO command
line option is used.
Issue #26101: Exclude Lib/test/ from sys.path in test_compilepath(). The
directory contains invalid Python files like Lib/test/badsyntax_pep3120.py,
whereas the test ensures that all files can be compiled.
Before the argparse conversion, compileall would (sometimes) accept multiple
paths when -d was specified. Afterward, it does not. The corresponding check
in the original code claimed to prevent multiple *directories* from being
specified...but it didn't really work even to do that. So this patch fixes
the regression by invoking the consenting adults rule: if you specify a
combination of arguments to compileall that produces files with inconsistent
destdirs (which you could do before), it is on you.

sys.path has an unwritable __pycache__ directory.
This typically comes up when someone runs the test suite from an
administrative install of Python on Windows where the user does not
have write permissions to the stdlib's directory.
Thanks to Zachary Ware and Matthias Klose for reporting bugs related
to this issue.

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.
quiet parameters of compile_{dir, file, path} functions now have
a multilevel value.
Also, -q option of the CLI now have a multilevel value.
Patch by Thomas Kluyver.
Both compileall.compile_dir() and the CLI for compileall now allow for
specifying how many workers to use (or 0 to use all CPUs).
Thanks to Claudiu Popa for the patch.
Try this again, hopefully the right way this time.
Arfrever Taifersar Arahesis reported that test_compileall failed during Gentoo
install because it was tyring to write .pyc files to a read-only system
directory during test_no_args_compiles_path. Having the tests call python
with -S should eliminate the system directories from the path.

Before the introduction of filename arguments to compileall it gave semi useful
messages about not being able to 'list' names that weren't valid directories.
This fix restores that behavior. In addition to the test for this case, the
patch also adds a test for the default behavior of compileall when no arguments
are provided, and fixes a bug in one of the previously added tests.

Also, improve Makefile's deletion of __pycache__ directories so e.g. 'make
distclean' doesn't fail if no __pycache__ directories exist.

compileall used the ctime of bytecode and source to determine if the bytecode
should be recreated. This created a timing hole. Fixed by just doing what
import does; check the mtime and magic number.
