19 /* Search in some common locations for the associated Python libraries.
21 * Two directories must be found, the platform independent directory
22 * (prefix), containing the common .py and .pyc files, and the platform
23 * dependent directory (exec_prefix), containing the shared library
24 * modules. Note that prefix and exec_prefix can be the same directory,
25 * but for some installations, they are different.
27 * Py_GetPath() carries out separate searches for prefix and exec_prefix.
28 * Each search tries a number of different locations until a ``landmark''
29 * file or directory is found. If no prefix or exec_prefix is found, a
30 * warning message is issued and the preprocessor defined PREFIX and
31 * EXEC_PREFIX are used (even though they will not work); python carries on
32 * as best as is possible, but most imports will fail.
34 * Before any searches are done, the location of the executable is
35 * determined. If argv[0] has one or more slashs in it, it is used
36 * unchanged. Otherwise, it must have been invoked from the shell's path,
37 * so we search $PATH for the named executable and use that. If the
38 * executable was not found on $PATH (or there was no $PATH environment
39 * variable), the original argv[0] string is used.
41 * Next, the executable location is examined to see if it is a symbolic
42 * link. If so, the link is chased (correctly interpreting a relative
43 * pathname if one is found) and the directory of the link target is used.
45 * Finally, argv0_path is set to the directory containing the executable
46 * (i.e. the last component is stripped).
48 * With argv0_path in hand, we perform a number of steps. The same steps
49 * are performed for prefix and for exec_prefix, but with a different
50 * landmark.
52 * Step 1. Are we running python out of the build directory? This is
53 * checked by looking for a different kind of landmark relative to
54 * argv0_path. For prefix, the landmark's path is derived from the VPATH
55 * preprocessor variable (taking into account that its value is almost, but
56 * not quite, what we need). For exec_prefix, the landmark is
57 * Modules/Setup. If the landmark is found, we're done.
59 * For the remaining steps, the prefix landmark will always be
60 * lib/python$VERSION/os.py and the exec_prefix will always be
61 * lib/python$VERSION/lib-dynload, where $VERSION is Python's version
62 * number as supplied by the Makefile. Note that this means that no more
63 * build directory checking is performed; if the first step did not find
64 * the landmarks, the assumption is that python is running from an
65 * installed setup.
67 * Step 2. See if the $PYTHONHOME environment variable points to the
68 * installed location of the Python libraries. If $PYTHONHOME is set, then
69 * it points to prefix and exec_prefix. $PYTHONHOME can be a single
70 * directory, which is used for both, or the prefix and exec_prefix
71 * directories separated by a colon.
73 * Step 3. Try to find prefix and exec_prefix relative to argv0_path,
74 * backtracking up the path until it is exhausted. This is the most common
75 * step to succeed. Note that if prefix and exec_prefix are different,
76 * exec_prefix is more likely to be found; however if exec_prefix is a
77 * subdirectory of prefix, both will be found.
79 * Step 4. Search the directories pointed to by the preprocessor variables
80 * PREFIX and EXEC_PREFIX. These are supplied by the Makefile but can be
81 * passed in as options to the configure script.
83 * That's it!
85 * Well, almost. Once we have determined prefix and exec_prefix, the
86 * preprocessor variable PYTHONPATH is used to construct a path. Each
87 * relative path on PYTHONPATH is prefixed with prefix. Then the directory
88 * containing the shared library modules is appended. The environment
89 * variable $PYTHONPATH is inserted in front of it all. Finally, the
90 * prefix and exec_prefix globals are tweaked so they reflect the values
91 * expected by other code, by stripping the "lib/python$VERSION/..." stuff
92 * off. If either points to the build directory, the globals are reset to
93 * the corresponding preprocessor variables (so sys.prefix will reflect the
94 * installation location, even though sys.path points into the build
95 * directory). This seems to make more sense given that currently the only
96 * known use of sys.prefix and sys.exec_prefix is for the ILU installation
97 * process to find the installed Python tree.
