Errors in Bash's process substitution doesn't get propagated outside.
Replace the process substitution with Python's `-` as /dev/stdin and
Bash's heredoc stdin redirection.
Add flag pytestFlags as the new, conforming interface
replacing pytestFlagsArray.
Stop Bash-expanding disabledTests and disabledTestPaths.
Handle disabledTestPaths with `pytest --ignore-glob <path>`
to keep globbing support.
Check if each path glob matches at least one path
using the `glob` module from the Python standard library.
Also make buildPythonPackage and buildPythonApplication
stop escaping the elements of disabledTests and disabledTestPaths.
Always specify the preDistPhases attribute as a list instead of a string.
Append elements to the preDistPhases Bash variable using appendToVar
instead of string or Bash array concatenation.
Handle element insertion before a specific element using string
substitution as before, but handle both structured and unstructured
attributes.
Go beyond the obvious setup hooks now, with a bit of sed, with a skipped case:
- cc-wrapper's `dontlink`, because it already is handled.
Also, in nix files escaping was manually added.
EMP
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`).
