Previously, we had two python interpreter metadata structs, one in
gourgeist and one in puffin. Both would spawn a subprocess to query
overlapping metadata and both would appear in the cli crate, if you
weren't careful you could even have to different base interpreters at
once. This change unifies this to one set of metadata, queried and
cached once.
Another effect of this crate is proper separation of python interpreter
and venv. A base interpreter (such as `/usr/bin/python/`, but also pyenv
and conda installed python) has a set of metadata. A venv has a root and
inherits the base python metadata except for `sys.prefix`, which unlike
`sys.base_prefix`, gets set to the venv root. From the root and the
interpreter info we can compute the paths inside the venv. We can reuse
the interpreter info of the base interpreter when creating a venv
without having to query the newly created `python`.
This is isn't ready, but it can resolve
`meine_stadt_transparent==0.2.14`.
The source distributions are currently being built serially one after
the other, i don't know if that is incidentally due to the resolution
order, because sdist building is blocking or because of something in the
resolver that could be improved.
It's a bit annoying that the thing that was supposed to do http requests
now suddenly also has to a whole download/unpack/resolve/install/build
routine, it messes up the type hierarchy. The much bigger problem though
is avoid recursive crate dependencies, it's the reason for the callback
and for splitting the builder into two crates (badly named atm)
