Hardcoding the name is fragile, and enabling it based on the existence of
/etc/debian_version (as the is_debianlike helper does) will result in
incorrect paths if the Python binary is not provided by Debian.
Using the deb_system distuils scheme instead makes sure we use the
install path from the current interpreter, which Debian could change
between releases, and gives us the correct value on Python installations
that are not provided by Debian (eg. deadsnakes, Github Action Python,
etc.)
Do notice, though, that there is still no guarantee that these are the
correct paths, as they assume all schemes paths have the install prefix
as a base, see #9284.

The sysconfig paths are, by default, correct for every OS -- they are
supposed to follow the scheme that python knows about per default.
For some reason, this overrode the scheme to posix_prefix, which is the
default for posix OSes like linux and macOS, but wrong on Windows.
Simply deleting this entirely makes everything that used to work, still
work, and a couple new things start working.
rsplit(..., 1) always produces exactly one split, by design, there's no
need to then join a 1-element list via a generator comprehension after
extracting the end of it via pop. If this commit message sounds
confusing, then so was I when trying to figure out what this actually
did and if it needed extracting to PythonExternalModule.
These were spotted by mypy and pyright. One is a string where a Path is
expected, another other is a possibly unbound variable, and the third is
bound but unused variables.
Including not calling back into `Interpreter.func_*`, which is not a
good idea both from a type saftey and perforamance point of view.
Instead there's now a shared _impl method
mesonbuild.dependencies.__init__ exposes configtool, pkgconfig, cmake
and more in __init__.py, so there's no reason we should be tying
SystemDependency to the internal organization implementation of the
subpackage!
In the 2nd previous commit it took quite some effort to figure out that
the python module "does not exist" because of import errors while
refactoring something completely different.
The only advantage they have is they have the interpreter in arguments,
but it's already available as self.interpreter. We should discourage
usage of the interpreter API and rely on ModuleState object instead in
the future.
This also lift the restriction that a module method cannot add build
targets, but that was not enforced for snippet methods anyway (and some
modules were doing it) and it's really loose restriction as it should
check for many other things if we wanted to make it consistent.
Dependencies is already a large and complicated package without adding
programs to the list. This also allows us to untangle a bit of spaghetti
that we have.
All changes were created by running
"pyupgrade --py3-only --keep-percent-format"
and committing the results. I have not touched string formatting for
now.
- use set literals
- simplify .format() parameter naming
- remove __future__
- remove default "r" mode for open()
- use OSError rather than compatibility aliases
- remove stray parentheses in function(generator) scopes
- ModuleState is now a real class that will have methods in the future
for actions modules needs, instead of using interpreter internal API.
- New ModuleObject base class, similar to InterpreterObject, that should
be used by all objects returned by modules. Its methods gets the
ModuleState passed as first argument. It has a `methods` dictionary to
define what is public API that can be called from build definition.
- Method return value is not required to be a ModuleReturnValue any
more, it can be any type that interpreter can holderify, including
ModuleObject.
- Legacy module API is maintained until we port all modules.
In the future modules should be updated:
- Use methods dict.
- Remove snippets.
- Custom objects returned by modules should all be subclass of
ModuleObject to get the state iface in their methods.
- Modules should never call into interpreter directly and instead state
object should have wrapper API.
- Stop using ModuleReturnValue in methods that just return simple
objects like strings. Possibly remove ModuleReturnValue completely
since all objects that needs to be processed by interpreter (e.g.
CustomTarget) should be created through ModuleState API.
This patches takes the options work to it's logical conclusion: A single
flat dictionary of OptionKey: UserOptions. This allows us to simplify a
large number of cases, as we don't need to check if an option is in this
dict or that one (or any of 5 or 6, actually).
As stated by the doc, default to install python sources to purelib
location, as they should not depend on platform.
This also fixes discrepancy between get_install_dir() and
install_sources() locations.

- ExternalProgramHolder has path() method while CustomTargetHolder and
BuildTargetHolder have full_path().
- The returned ExternalProgramHolder's path() method was broken, because
build.Executable object has no get_path() method, it needs the
backend.
- find_program('overridden_prog', version : '>=1.0') was broken because
it needs to execute the exe that is not yet built. Now assume the
program has the (sub)project version.
- If the version check fails, interpreter uses
ExternalProgramHolder.get_name() for the error message but
build.Executable does not implement get_name() method.
Currently PkgConfig takes language as a keyword parameter in position 3,
while the others take it as positional in position 2. Because most
dependencies don't actually set a language (they use C style linking),
using a positional argument makes more sense. ExtraFrameworkDependencies
is even more different, and duplicates some arguments from the base
ExternalDependency class.
For later changes I'm planning to make having all of the dependencies
use the same signature is really, really helpful.
