Unconditional forcing of ``CHECKED_HASH`` invalidation was introduced in
3.7.0 in bpo-29708. The change is bad, as it unconditionally overrides
*invalidation_mode*, even if it was passed as an explicit argument to
``py_compile.compile()`` or ``compileall``. An environment variable
should *never* override an explicit argument to a library function.
That change leads to multiple test failures if the ``SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH``
environment variable is set.
This changes ``py_compile.compile()`` to only look at
``SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH`` if no explicit *invalidation_mode* was specified.
I also made various relevant tests run with explicit control over the
value of ``SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH``.
While looking at this, I noticed that ``zipimport`` does not work
with hash-based .pycs _at all_, though I left the fixes for
subsequent commits.
* Fix multiple typos in code comments
* Add spacing in comments (test_logging.py, test_math.py)
* Fix spaces at the beginning of comments in test_logging.py
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.
To make sure there is no issue with code that is both Python 2 and 3
compatible, there are no plans to remove the module any sooner than
Python 4 (unless the community moves to Python 3 solidly before then).
importlib.abc.Loader.init_module_attrs() and implement
importlib.abc.InspectLoader.load_module().
The importlib.abc.Loader.init_module_attrs() method sets the various
attributes on the module being loaded. It is done unconditionally to
support reloading. Typically people used
importlib.util.module_for_loader, but since that's a decorator there
was no way to override it's actions, so init_module_attrs() came into
existence to allow for overriding. This is also why module_for_loader
is now pending deprecation (having its other use replaced by
importlib.util.module_to_load).
All of this allowed for importlib.abc.InspectLoader.load_module() to
be implemented. At this point you can now implement a loader with
nothing more than get_code() (which only requires get_source();
package support requires is_package()). Thanks to init_module_attrs()
the implementation of load_module() is basically a context manager
containing 2 methods calls, a call to exec(), and a return statement.
