It's a year until the final release but this will give a chance to test
out certain features and how it integrates with other packages.

There were no new changes in version 3.5.9; 3.5.9 was released only because of a CDN caching problem,
which resulted in some users downloading a prerelease version of the 3.5.8 .xz source tarball.
Apart from the version number, 3.5.9 is identical to the proper 3.5.8 release.
Go beyond the obvious setup hooks now, with a bit of sed, with a skipped case:
- cc-wrapper's `dontlink`, because it already is handled.
Also, in nix files escaping was manually added.

Python 3.8 fails to build on macOS for two reasons:
* python-3.x-distutils-C++.patch fails to apply cleanly.
* An #include for <util.h> is missing, causing a build failure:
./Modules/posixmodule.c:6586:9: error: implicit declaration of function 'openpty' is invalid in C99
if (openpty(&master_fd, &slave_fd, NULL, NULL, NULL) != 0)
^
Use the correct version of python-3.x-distutils-C++.patch, and add a
patch to #include <util.h>.
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`).
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.

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.
Turns out fixing this only in importlib is not sufficient and we
need to backport CPython part of the fix too.
This patch is based on https://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/c16063765d3a
but because the code around is different there are some changes (C-strings
instead of Python objects etc.)
With this patch Tensorflow builds successfully on many-core machine.
This commit adds a Nix-specific module that recursively adds paths that
are on `NIX_PYTHONPATH` to `sys.path`. In order to process possible
`.pth` files `site.addsitedir` is used.
The paths listed in `PYTHONPATH` are added to `sys.path` afterwards, but
they will be added before the entries we add here and thus take
precedence.
The reason for adding support for this environment variable is that we
can set it in a wrapper without breaking support for `PYTHONPATH`.
This is python bug https://bugs.python.org/issue13146. Fixed since
python 3.4. It makes pyc creation atomic, preventing a race condition.
The patch has been rebased on our deterministic build patch.
It wasn't backported to python 2.7 because there was a complaint about
changed semantics. Since files are now created in a temporary directory
and then moved, symlinks will be overridden. See
https://bugs.python.org/issue17222.
That is an edge-case however. Ubuntu and debian have backported the fix
in 2013 already, making it mainstream enough for us to adopt.
Patching numpy.distutils used to be required for pythonPackages.cython
to build on darwin. It was later accidentally disabled during one of the
refactorings, but that did not break cython. This change reinstantiates
the patch. It still applies, so it should be low maintenance and it can
still be useful.
Originally introduced in 8970a9c and 1531b5e, these patches were lost in
efbe87f when the CPython version files were merged, likely due to
CPython 3.7 not needing them anymore. These patches should remain
in-tree until CPython 3.5 and 3.6 support is dropped completely.
Found with the diffoscope ( https://diffoscope.org/ ).
The upstream patch for distutils does not apply cleanly to Python
3.7.3's sources. (The patch applies cleanly to Python 3.7.2's sources,
but nixpkgs commit 0ddae82e6a upgraded
Python to 3.7.3.) Fix the patch to make python37 build on macOS.
