This commit splits the `buildPythonPackage` into multiple setup hooks.
Generally, Python packages are built from source to wheels using `setuptools`.
The wheels are then installed with `pip`. Tests were often called with
`python setup.py test` but this is less common nowadays. Most projects
now use a different entry point for running tests, typically `pytest`
or `nosetests`.
Since the wheel format was introduced more tools were built to generate these,
e.g. `flit`. Since PEP 517 is provisionally accepted, defining a build-system
independent format (`pyproject.toml`), `pip` can now use that format to
execute the correct build-system.
In the past I've added support for PEP 517 (`pyproject`) to the Python
builder, resulting in a now rather large builder. Furthermore, it was not possible
to reuse components elsewhere. Therefore, the builder is now split into multiple
setup hooks.
The `setuptoolsCheckHook` is included now by default but in time it should
be removed from `buildPythonPackage` to make it easier to use another hook
(curently one has to pass in `dontUseSetuptoolsCheck`).
- Lua packages now consistently use LUA_PATH/LUA_CPATH rather than a mix
of those and NIX_LUA_PATH/NIX_LUA_CPATH
- Lua libraries are now consistently only added to the search path
variables if:
1) The library actually has a corresponding directory to search
2) The library is not already present in the search path
This should help prevent the search paths from growing overly large
- Fixed bugs in some path helpers
- Changed the affected shell script indentation to 2 spaces; nixpkgs
shell scripts are inconsistently split between 2 and 4 space
indentation, but 2 matches better with the Nix expressions, so IMO it
makes more sense
We don’t want cpython picking up /Library/Frameworks and
/System/Library/Frameworks which contains Tcl.framework. Instead it
should use the one provided by Nix. this would not be an issue if
sandboxing was enabled, but unfortunately that has its own issues.
Fixes#66647
There ver very many conflicts, basically all due to
name -> pname+version. Fortunately, almost everything was auto-resolved
by kdiff3, and for now I just fixed up a couple evaluation problems,
as verified by the tarball job. There might be some fallback to these
conflicts, but I believe it should be minimal.
Hydra nixpkgs: ?compare=1538299
Per https://www.php.net/manual/en/intro.mhash.php, mhash extension
is obsolete, so disabling it here. (Also it doesn't cross-compile)
**Warning**: This could be a breaking change for some packages that
are very old and rely on this extension, maintainer discretion is
advised.
This builds Python without optional dependencies.
We can't just use python3.override, as things like
python3Minimal.withPackages would pass the wrong python derivation into
these modules.
