Much like the previous commit that adds dependencies &
optional-dependencies this aligns PEP-517 build systems with how they
are defined in PEP-518/PEP-621.
The naming `build-system` (singular) is aligned with upstream Python standards.
Since https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/161835 we've had the
concept of `passthru.optional-dependencies` for Python optional deps.
Having to explicitly put optional-dependencies in the passthru attrset
is a bit strange API-wise, even though it semantically makes sense.
This change unifies the handling of non-optional & optional Python
dependencies using the names established from PEP-621 (standardized pyproject.toml project metadata).
Implements a hook, that checks whether all dependencies, as specified by
the wheel manifest, are present in the current environment.
Complains about missing packages, as well as version specifier
mismatches.
With this change it is possible to pass in `stdenv` directly to
`buildPython*` or override it using e.g.
```
numpy.overridePythonAttrs(_: {
stdenv = clangStdenv;
})
```
mkPythonDerivation: apply checks to buildInputs as well
fixup: add a suggestion about nativeBuildInputs
Clean up the wording, add reasons for the suggestions

Adjust error to clarify build-time vs. run-time
By default buildPython* runs a hook for detecting conflicting packages.
This hook needs pkg_resources which is part of setuptools.
Before this commit, setuptools was simply added to the build. This meant
that when setuptools was forgotten to be added to the build, the build
and installation would still succeed because of this package from the
hook. During runtime (and cross-compilation) one would notice the
missing package.
Store the intermediate artifacts. In time, we should build, install and
test in separate derivations as that reduces circular dependencies,
avoids rebuilds when fixing tests, and makes it possible to use the
wheels for creating say virtualenv's.
This hook was added to get reproducible bytecode. Because it was causing
issues it was disabled, but still kept as a dependency. Now the main
issue with bytecode reproducibility has been resolved by updating pip to
20.2.4, we remove this hook as a dependency.
If a package with Python code is not yet reproducible, one could add
this hook to `nativeBuildInputs`.
Optional setting of format == "pyproject", "egg" had been documented
in the manual, but they weren't listed in the function header for
``mk-python-derivation.nix``.
There are too many regressions. Instead of reverting all the work that has been
done on this so far, let's just disable it Python-wide. That way we can
investigate and fix it easier.
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`).
This changeset allows for cross-compilation of Python packages. Packages
built with buildPythonPackage are not allowed to refer to the build
machine. Executables that have shebangs will refer to the host.
updateScript accepts a list, in which case, it will execute the head with the
tail as arguments. Switching to this style will allow us to get rid of the need
to create extra script doing just that.
