While we tell pip not to fetch (with the `--no-index` option),
`setuptools` can do so itself. In the past we used a `distutils.cfg`
with `allow-hosts = None` to prevent setuptools from fetching itself.
This was removed when we started building wheels in
2562f94de4e4fd2ddc677187fa2e2848L69.
The `dist-utils.cfg` code was still there, and adding it to
`buildInputs` is sufficient.
Tested with python.pkgs.passlib by removing the `checkInputs` / `nose`.
test.{support, regrtest} are the internal packages cpython
developers use to write tests.
Although they are not public and the API may change/break
some developers use these packages to write tests for their
(3rd party) software.
The derivations for cpython now only remove the actual tests
but leave the packages in place that are used to write them.

Symbolic links were added pointing to the executables that end with 3 as
part of the Python 2 to 3 migration. At some point I disabled ensurepip
but forgot to remove this symbolic link.

* pkgs: refactor needless quoting of homepage meta attribute
A lot of packages are needlessly quoting the homepage meta attribute
(about 1400, 22%), this commit refactors all of those instances.
* pkgs: Fixing some links that were wrongfully unquoted in the previous
commit
* Fixed some instances
Python envs did not pass through any of the properties the Python
interpreter has. That could be annoying, especially not having
`python.interpreter` which is the path to the interpreter. This commit
fixes the situation and inherit python.passthru.
Thus far all executables in a derivation were wrapped. This commit
only wraps executables in $out/bin. If other scripts need to be wrapped
as well, then one can use wrapPythonProgramsIn.
When tests are disabled, we do not want to pass checkInputs to
stdenv.mkDerivation. This reduces the build requirements and, more
importantly, helps cutting cycles.
The Python interpreters are patched so they can build .pyc bytecode free
of certain indeterminism.
When building Python packages we currently set
```
compiling python files.
in nix store.
DETERMINISTIC_BUILD=1;
PYTHONHASHSEED = 0;
```
Instead if setting these environment variables in the function that
builds the package, this commit sets the variables instead in the Python
setup hook. That way, whenever Python is included in a derivation, these
variables are set.
See also the issue https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/25707.
This commit fixes several issues:
- as reported in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/24924 it was
possible that the file _sysconfigdata.pyc was generated after the actual
build of the CPython interpreter. We forgot to regenerate that file
during the build. This is now fixed
- the expression of the 3.3 interpreter now also includes some of the
determinism patches even though the output isn't yet reproducible. The
reason for adding them is that this makes the expressions of the
different interpreters more similar.
- references to -dev packages are now also removed in the 3.6 package,
thereby reducing its closure size
Python does add the script's directory into "sys.path". For the case of
"catch_conflicts.py" this means "/nix/store" is added to "sys.path". This can
result in very long delays if the store contains a lot of entries.

From the manual:

lower priority. The default priority is 0.
Just passing -5 or -10 wasn't sufficient, so let's make it -100.
- Windows installers are indeterministic and we don't need them.
- since Python 3 ensurepip is installed by default. pip is indeteministic and we don't need it.
- rebuild bytecode to ensure its deterministic
Certain programs, like zim, calibre and now also apparently mercurial,
rely on sys.argv[0] providing not just the script name but the full
path.
The Python docs [1] state the following on the matter:
> argv[0] is the script name (it is operating system dependent whether
this is a full pathname or not).
Therefore, scripts should not expect to receive a full path.
Unfortunately some do. While this can be considered a bug, there doesn't
seem any reason not to provide the full path. Therefore we now provide
the full path.

A package set is constructed for a specific interpreter. Therefore, we add the
possibility to override the package set to the interpreter. This should make it
easier to override the interpreter and the package set at the same time.
In #19309 a separate output for tkinter was added.
Several dependencies of Python depend indirectly on Python. We have the
following two paths:
```
‘python-2.7.12’ - ‘tk-8.6.6’ - ‘libXft-2.3.2’ - ‘libXrender-0.9.10’ -
‘libX11-1.6.4’ - ‘libxcb-1.12’ - ‘libxslt-1.1.29’- ‘libxml2-2.9.4’ -
‘python-2.7.12’
‘python-2.7.12’ - ‘tk-8.6.6’ - ‘libXft-2.3.2’ - ‘fontconfig-2.12.1’ -
‘dejavu-fonts-2.37’ - ‘fontforge-20160404’ - ‘python-2.7.12’
```
Because only `tkinter` needs this, I added
```
pythonSmall = python.override {x11Support = false;};
```
to break the infinite recursion. We also still have the output
`tkinter`.
However, we might as well build without x11Support by default. Then we build with x11Support as well so we get the tkinter module and put that in a separate package.
python.buildenv is used to build an env that provides binaries that can
import all modules that were passed in to the env.
Before this change it filtered the propagatedBuildInputs to remove all
non-Python packages, thereby possibly reducing the amount of packages
that were referenced. However, Python packages often don't have non-
Python packages as propagatedBuildInputs. And occasionally, we do want
to be able to add other packages to the env.
It's a long build and generally painful to split into smaller commits,
so I apologize for lumping many changes into one commit but this is far
easier.
There are still several outdated parts of the darwin stdenv but these
changes should bring us closer to the goal.
Fixes#18461
Compiling python with "-Wl,-stack_size,1000000" causes problems when
compiling for example pygobject3. pygobject3 uses "python3.x-config
--ldflags" during installation and then fails when
"-Wl,-stack_size,1000000" is present. Maybe we should investigate
removing this during the build of pyobject3, but this stack_size flag is
also not used on the popular darwin homebrew-core channel for python3.5,
so it seems safe to remove it.
This one was already merged into release-16.09, so let's not have the
stable branch is ahead of master and confuse things. In addition to
that, currently we have an odd situation that master has less things
actually finished building than in staging.

The previous commit revealed that Python wasn't actually using
Berkeley DB; it only had it in its closure due to the build-time flag
dump in Makefile and _sysconfigdata.py. When Python detects both GNU
gdbm and Berkeley DB at build time, it will use the former.
This reduces Python's closure size from 200 MiB to 129 MiB. Even
better would be to get move tkinter to a separate output or package
(since that would get rid of all X11 stuff), but that's a bit harder.
In line with the Nixpkgs manual.
A mechanical change, done with this command:
find pkgs -name "*.nix" | \
while read f; do \
sed -e 's/description\s*=\s*"\([a-z]\)/description = "\u\1/' -i "$f"; \
done
I manually skipped some:
* Descriptions starting with an abbreviation, a user name or package name
* Frequently generated expressions (haskell-packages.nix)
The location of this 'regen' script (whatever is does) depends on the
platform. AFAICT it always exists due to this:
$(srcdir)/Lib/$(PLATDIR):
mkdir $(srcdir)/Lib/$(PLATDIR)
cp $(srcdir)/Lib/plat-generic/regen $(srcdir)/Lib/$(PLATDIR)/regen
Currently, when constructing a buildEnv and adding packages via
extraLibs, then binaries in extraLibs cannot access the other Python
modules. An example is having ipython/jupyter in extraLibs; in that case
ipython cannot import any other modules.
The most complex problems were from dealing with switches reverted in
the meantime (gcc5, gmp6, ncurses6).
It's likely that darwin is (still) broken nontrivially.
Without this, python will silently build without native extensions (e.g
openssl); this causes wget to fail its tests for instance.
vcunat added python-3.5.
Fixes regression from 086e801d51.
The switch tu UCS-4 only happened for the main Python interpreter and
libraries, but the extension modules were using the same source but
without any configureFlags, so the extensions still referred to UCS-2
symbols.
Tested module builds of Python 2.7 and all modules except crypto fail.
Also tested against sqlite3 module of Python 2.6, although for other
modules there still seems to be an unrelated build failure with Tcl/Tk
libraries, so we might need to fix that later.

A build output of such a failure can be found here:
http://hydra.nixos.org/build/21994789/nixlog/1/raw
The build_ext command doesn't return non-zero if it fails but instead
produces a file with a "_failed.so" suffix, which we're now checking
after the build_ext command.

There was a typo that failed them.
Also, drop pkgconfig again, as it seems unused; and fix python26.
Now all python*.modules build, except for python26.tkinter
which fails on master as well.
