pip was apparently breaking Linux builds and I didn't even notice. Turns out
virtualenv doesn't even need pip, and Python ships its own pip so I don't know
why this was even needed...
imp was actually still available up until Python 3.9 or so. Ripping
it out made me go through the headache of debugging our import logic.
Granted, it was deprecated long ago and there was plenty of warning, but
since we are doing the migration now it's all hitting at once if we want
to support any semi-modern Python.
Got everything working under older Python 3, to deal with fewer issues at once.
Now the following had to be done:
- time.clock had to be replaced with time.process_time
- Drive letters now need explicit normalization because they are uppercase
by default (was the reason why I had to turn everything into a relpath before).
- Virtualenv works, but needs a couple extra modules because of new includes
in newer Python 3 versions.
Wasn't as hard as I expected to get this working. Mostly just missing imports,
and they are only missing because Mozilla added a couple to the base import
that caused no issues on Python 2, but require an additional slew of imports
on Python 3.
2to3 . --fix dict -wpn
Py2 dict was a list by default, the iterator versions
were switched around to be the default.
This lets you have the old behavior. Mechanical.
Ref: PEP 3106
https://peps.python.org/pep-3106/
The python binary copied reports a valid signature on Big Sur and thus codesign fails.
Add the -f option so it overwrites the supposedly valid signature. Other versions are
either already unsigned or the install_name_tool invalidates the signature.
Make essential Tauthon's builtins and modules available in sandboxes, without
disrupting building with Python 2.7.
1. Allow new builtins and modules. "__build_class__" is for
building... new-style classes (to handle the new metaclass syntax imported from
3.x). "_oserror" is necessary because of internal changes to raise errors
deriving from OSError (which are reported as IOError if not caught).
2. Look for modules and packages in the right places.
This was tested on FreeBSD, and should work out of the box on Linux.
