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