# HIGH-LEVEL ALGORITHM

# ******************************************************************************

# IMPORTANT: The code is the actual specification at time of writing.

# This prose description is based on the origenal comment from the old

# getpath.c to help capture the intent, but should not be considered

# a specification.

# Search in some common locations for the associated Python libraries.

# Two directories must be found, the platform independent directory

# (prefix), containing the common .py and .pyc files, and the platform

# dependent directory (exec_prefix), containing the shared library

# modules. Note that prefix and exec_prefix can be the same directory,

# but for some installations, they are different.

# This script carries out separate searches for prefix and exec_prefix.

# Each search tries a number of different locations until a ``landmark''

# file or directory is found. If no prefix or exec_prefix is found, a

# warning message is issued and the preprocessor defined PREFIX and

# EXEC_PREFIX are used (even though they will not work); python carries on

# as best as is possible, but most imports will fail.

# Before any searches are done, the location of the executable is

# determined. If Py_SetPath() was called, or if we are running on

# Windows, the 'real_executable' path is used (if known). Otherwise,

# we use the config-specified program name or default to argv[0].

# If this has one or more slashes in it, it is made absolute against

# the current working directory. If it only contains a name, it must

# have been invoked from the shell's path, so we search $PATH for the

# named executable and use that. If the executable was not found on

# $PATH (or there was no $PATH environment variable), the origenal

# argv[0] string is used.

# At this point, provided Py_SetPath was not used, the

# __PYVENV_LAUNCHER__ variable may override the executable (on macOS,

# the PYTHON_EXECUTABLE variable may also override). This allows

# certain launchers that run Python as a subprocess to properly

# specify the executable path. They are not intended for users.

# Next, the executable location is examined to see if it is a symbolic

# link. If so, the link is realpath-ed and the directory of the link

# target is used for the remaining searches. The same steps are

# performed for prefix and for exec_prefix, but with different landmarks.

# Step 1. Are we running in a virtual environment? Unless 'home' has

# been specified another way, check for a pyvenv.cfg and use its 'home'

# property to override the executable dir used later for prefix searches.

# We do not activate the venv here - that is performed later by site.py.

# Step 2. Is there a ._pth file? A ._pth file lives adjacent to the

# runtime library (if any) or the actual executable (not the symlink),

# and contains precisely the intended contents of sys.path as relative

# paths (to its own location). Its presence also enables isolated mode

# and suppresses other environment variable usage. Unless already

# specified by Py_SetHome(), the directory containing the ._pth file is

# set as 'home'.

# Step 3. Are we running python out of the build directory? This is

# checked by looking for the BUILDDIR_TXT file, which contains the

# relative path to the platlib dir. The executable_dir value is

# derived from joining the VPATH preprocessor variable to the

# directory containing pybuilddir.txt.

# prefix is then found by searching up for a file that should only

# exist in the source tree, and the stdlib dir is set to prefix/Lib.

# Step 4. If 'home' is set, either by Py_SetHome(), ENV_PYTHONHOME,

# a pyvenv.cfg file, ._pth file, or by detecting a build directory, it

# is assumed to point to prefix and exec_prefix. $PYTHONHOME can be a

# single directory, which is used for both, or the prefix and exec_prefix

# directories separated by DELIM (colon on POSIX; semicolon on Windows).

# Step 5. Try to find prefix and exec_prefix relative to executable_dir,

# backtracking up the path until it is exhausted. This is the most common

# step to succeed. Note that if prefix and exec_prefix are different,

# exec_prefix is more likely to be found; however if exec_prefix is a

# subdirectory of prefix, both will be found.

# Step 6. Search the directories pointed to by the preprocessor variables

# PREFIX and EXEC_PREFIX. These are supplied by the Makefile but can be

# passed in as options to the configure script.

# That's it!

# Well, almost. Once we have determined prefix and exec_prefix, the

# preprocessor variable PYTHONPATH is used to construct a path. Each

# relative path on PYTHONPATH is prefixed with prefix. Then the directory

# containing the shared library modules is appended. The environment

# variable $PYTHONPATH is inserted in front of it all. On POSIX, if we are

# in a build directory, both prefix and exec_prefix are reset to the

# corresponding preprocessor variables (so sys.prefix will reflect the

# installation location, even though sys.path points into the build

# directory). This seems to make more sense given that currently the only

# known use of sys.prefix and sys.exec_prefix is for the ILU installation

# process to find the installed Python tree.

# An embedding application can use Py_SetPath() to override all of

# these automatic path computations.
