Ned Deily 62a8660267 Issue #17128: Use private version of OpenSSL for 2.7.9 OS X 10.5+ installer.
Among other issues, the Apple-supplied 0.9.7 libs for the 10.5 ABI cannot
verify newer SHA-256 certs as now used by python.org services.  Document
in the installer ReadMe some of the certificate management issues that
users now need to be more concerned with due to PEP 476's enabling cert
verification by default.  For now, continue to use the Apple-supplied
0.9.8 libs for the 10.6+ installer since they use Apple private APIs to
verify certificates using the system- and user-managed CA keychain stores.

Donald Stufft 527d4ace85 Issue #22827: Backport the new Distributing and Instaling Docs from 3.4 2014-11-20 09:38:31 -05:00
Ned Deily 3f1d0b3121 Issue 22878: PEP 477 - "make install" and "make altinstall" integration
The backport of ensurepip to 2.7.9 allows pip to optionally be installed
or upgraded using the bundled pip provided by the new ensurepip module.
The option can be specified persistently using the configure option:

    ./configure --with-ensurepip[=upgrade|install|no]

It can also be overridden on either the "install" or "altinstall" targets:

    make [alt]install ENSUREPIP=[upgrade|install|no]

For Python 2, the default option is "no" (do not install pip).

Nick Coghlan 01bd3c1231 Close #22300 by tweaking 2.7.9 What's New announcements 2014-11-14 20:05:04 +10:00
Donald Stufft 8aaff54db3 Implement PEP 477 - Backport ensurepip (PEP 453) to 2.7
* Backports ensurepip to the 2.7 branch
* Backports some of the improved documentation to the 2.7 branch.
* Adds a private backport of the 3.x mock library as test._mock_backport
  to enable saner testing of ensurepip.

Key Differences from 3.x:

* Ensurepip does not have any Makefile integration, specifically
  it is not ran by default in the Makefile.
* There is no venv module in 2.7, so downstream distributors can
  completely disable ensurepip, ideally with a message redirecting
  to the correct way to install pip.
* To match the ``python`` command in 2.7, ensurepip will install
  the unversioned ``pip`` command as well.
* No-op and hide --default-pip and add --no-default-pip to restore
  the 3.x behavor on 2.7.

Éric Araujo 31fe52dc9e Make distutils error messages more helpful (#11599).
When running external programs such as a C compiler and getting an
error code, distutils only prints the program name.  With this change,
one can get the full command line by setting the DISTUTILS_DEBUG
environment variable.

This should have no compatibility issues, unless there are tools
that depend on the exact format of distutils debug messages.
