Some project may claim, in their README or otherwise, a particular library as
an optional dependency. But it doesn't make it one in the context of the
`optional-dependencies` derivation attribute.
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.
Pscycopg2-binary is normally used in Python development to avoid having to build psycopg2 from source.
In nixpkgs we always want ot build from source whenever possible, but it can still be useful to provide a psycopg2-binary package.
This "fake" package exists to satisfy a dependency on psycopg2-binary, but still use the build from psycopg2.

every other format is deprecated, so to imply that people should be setting it is misleading
(`pyproject = true` should also go away eventually, but is the way until
then)
so that meta.description examples shown in the documentation
align with recommendations given in the "Meta attributes" section
in pkgs/README.md.
The changes were made with the following commands:
nix run nixpkgs#silver-searcher -- -l0 'description\s*=\s*"([Aa]n?|[Tt]he)\s' doc \
| xargs -0 nix run nixpkgs#gnused -- -i '' -Ee '/description/s/"([Aa]n?|[Tt]he)\s(.)/"\U\2/'
nix run nixpkgs#silver-searcher -- -l0 'description\s*=\s*".*\."' doc \
| xargs -0 nix run nixpkgs#gnused -- -i '' -Ee '/description/s/\."/"/'
* doc: autogenerate python interpreter table
This serves as a practical example on generating documentation by
inspection of the evaluated Nixpkgs tree.

In the past I was very active with Python packaging.
For several years now I was hardly around as maintainer,
so it does not make sense I am listed as a maintainer for
these makes. Looking back, I should have removed myself
as maintainer already much longer ago. Anyway, better late
than never.
It's been a fun ride, and I do intend to occasionally contribute
to Nixpkgs, but not in the same way it once was.
