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.
## 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
In https://github.com/astral-sh/puffin/pull/986 there was some confusion
about what these values are set to and I noticed that we never actually
display the target version being used for a resolution.
- Consistently display the Python interpreter being used, i.e. make it
clear that we are referring the the interpreter/installed Python version
and always show the version number
- Display the target Python version during solving
