The PEP 517 shows an example backend-path like this:
[build-system]
# Defined by PEP 518:
requires = ["flit"]
# Defined by this PEP:
build-backend = "local_backend"
backend-path = ["backend"]
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0517/#source-trees
See that backend-path is a list. Our code previously only supported string path.
Obviously a string path is wrong, but we keep it to support projects that have
made the mistake, such as flit-core.
Add a small integration test for both cases.
Note that the new spec files deliberately don't do much, to save CI time.
There is a slight problem when reporting that a dependency with extra is satisfied.
In fact, we only check the "base" dependency.
This can lead to a problem when a dependency is wrongly assumed as present
and the script proceeds to the "next stage" without restarting --
if the next stage tries to use (import) the missing dependency,
the script would crash.
However, that might be a very unlikely set of events and if such case ever happens,
we'll workaround it or fix it.
This macro save generates file section to %pyproject_files. It should
simplify %files section and allow to build by some automatic machinery
Supposed use case in Fedora:
%install
%pyproject_install
%pyproject_save_files requests _requests
%files -n python3-requests -f %{pyproject_files}
%doc README.rst
%license LICENSE
Automatic build of arbitrary packages (e.g. in Copr):
%install
%pyproject_install
%pyproject_save_files * +bindir // save all modules with executables
%files -n python3-requests -f %{pyproject_files}
