## Summary
First batch of changes for windows support. Notable changes:
* Fixes all compile errors and added windows specific paths.
* Working venv creation on windows, both from a base interpreter and
from a venv. This requires querying `stdlib` from the sysconfig paths to
find the launcher.
* Basic url/path conversion handling for windows.
* `if cfg!(...)` instead of `#[cfg()]`. This should make it easier to
keep everything compiling across platforms.
## Outlook
Test summary: 402 tests run: 299 passed (15 slow), 103 failed, 1 skipped
There are various reason for the remaining test failure:
* Windows-specific colorama and tzdata dependencies that change the
snapshot slightly. This is by far the biggest batch.
* Some url-path handling issues. I fixed some in the PR, some remain.
* Lack of the latest python patch versions for older pythons on my
machine, since there are no builds for windows and we need to register
them in the registry for them to be picked up for `py --list-paths` (CC
@zanieb RE #1070).
* Lack of entrypoint launchers.
* ... likely more
## Summary
This PR is an alternative approach to #949 which should be much safer.
As in #949, we add a `Refresh` policy to the cache. However, instead of
deleting entries from the cache the first time we read them, we now
check if the entry is sufficiently new (created after the start of the
command) if the refresh policy applies. If the entry is stale, then we
avoid reading it and continue onward, relying on the cache to
appropriately overwrite based on "new" data. (This relies on the
preceding PRs, which ensure the cache is append-only, and ensure that we
can atomically overwrite.)
Unfortunately, there are just a lot of paths through the cache, and
didn't data is handled with different policies, so I really had to go
through and consider the "right" behavior for each case. For example,
the HTTP requests can use `max-age=0, must-revalidate`. But for the
routes that are based on filesystem modification, we need to do
something slightly different.
Closes#945.
Adds support for disabling installation from pre-built wheels i.e. the
package must be built from source locally.
We will still always use pre-built wheels for metadata during
resolution.
Available via `--no-binary` and `--no-binary-package <name>` flags in
`pip install` and `pip sync`. There is no flag for `pip compile` since
no installation happens there.
```
--no-binary
Don't install pre-built wheels.
When enabled, all installed packages will be installed from a source distribution.
The resolver will still use pre-built wheels for metadata.
--no-binary-package <NO_BINARY_PACKAGE>
Don't install pre-built wheels for a specific package.
When enabled, the specified packages will be installed from a source distribution.
The resolver will still use pre-built wheels for metadata.
```
When packages are already installed, the `--no-binary` flag will have no
affect without the `--reinstall` flag. In the future, I'd like to change
this by tracking if a local distribution is from a pre-built wheel or a
locally-built wheel. However, this is significantly more complex and
different than `pip`'s behavior so deferring for now.
For reference, `pip`'s flag works as follows:
```
--no-binary <format_control>
Do not use binary packages. Can be supplied multiple times, and each time adds to the
existing value. Accepts either ":all:" to disable all binary packages, ":none:" to empty the
set (notice the colons), or one or more package names with commas between them (no colons).
Note that some packages are tricky to compile and may fail to install when this option is
used on them.
```
Note we are not matching the exact `pip` interface here because it seems
complicated to use. I think we may want to consider adjusting our
interface for this behavior since we're not entirely compatible anyway
e.g. I think `--force-build` and `--force-build-package` are clearer
names. We could also consider matching the `pip` interface or only
allowing `--no-binary <package>` for compatibility. We can of course do
whatever we want in our _own_ install interfaces later.
Additionally, we may want to further consider the semantics of
`--no-binary`. For example, if I run `pip install pydantic --no-binary`
I expect _just_ Pydantic to be installed without binaries but by default
we will build all of Pydantic's dependencies too.
This work was prompted by #895, as it is much easier to measure
performance gains from building source distributions if we have a flag
to ensure we actually build source distributions. Additionally, this is
a flag I have used frequently in production to debug packages that ship
Cythonized wheels.
## Summary
I don't know if this is actually a good change, but it tries to make the
editable install experience more consistent. Specifically, we now
support...
```
# Use a relative path with a `file://` prefix.
# Prior to this PR, we supported `file:../foo`, but not `file://../foo`, which felt inconsistent.
-e file://../foo
# Use environment variables with paths, not just URLs.
# Prior to this PR, we supported `file://${PROJECT_ROOT}/../foo`, but not the below.
-e ${PROJECT_ROOT}/../foo
```
Importantly, `-e file://../foo` is actually not supported by pip... `-e
file:../foo` _is_ supported though. We support both, as of this PR. Open
to feedback.
