Replaces https://github.com/astral-sh/puffin/pull/1068 and #1070 which
were more complicated than I wanted.
- Introduces a `.python-versions` file which defines the Python versions
needed for development
- Adds a Bash script at `scripts/bootstrap/install` which installs the
required Python versions from `python-build-standalone` to `./bin`
- Checks in a `versions.json` file with metadata about available
versions on each platform and a `fetch-version` Python script derived
from `rye` for updating the versions
- Updates CI to use these Python builds instead of the `setup-python`
action
- Updates to the latest packse scenarios which require Python 3.8+
instead of 3.7+ since we cannot use 3.7 anymore and includes new test
coverage of patch Python version requests
- Adds a `PUFFIN_PYTHON_PATH` variable to prevent lookup of system
Python versions for isolation during development
Tested on Linux (via CI) and macOS (locally) — presumably it will be a
bit more complicated to do proper Windows support.
You need to install cmake on windows, so i added a hint about using
`pipx install cmake`, and some more general notes on building and
testing puffin.
See #817
From manual inspection, this dataset generated through the [libraries.io
API](https://libraries.io/api#project-search) seems more mainstream than
the current 8k one, which is also preserved. I've added the dataset to
the repo because the API requires an API key.
This docker container provides isolation of source distribution builds,
whether [intended to be
helpful](https://pypi.org/project/nvidia-pyindex/) or other more or less
malicious forms of host system modification.
Fixes#194
