Description
Do not install python3 if a sufficiently new version is available in $PATH
. This could be a system python3, or the python3 from within a venv.
As suggested in #29032, we make $SAGE_LOCAL a venv (https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html) over the system python3 -- if a suitable system python3 is found -- by using the venv.EnvBuilder
API.
This is done by the new script build/bin/sage-venv
, which we use both during configure
(to make sure that we select a system python3 for which venvs work correctly) and during make
.
The venv does not include the system site-packages: We continue to install all Python packages into our venv using the existing build infrastructure. We keep the task of using system site-packages for the follow-up ticket #29023.
(Note, we use venv
(new since Python 3.3), not virtualenv
. So this change is limited to Python 3 builds of Sage.)
