Hi all, Before hitting merge I wanted to get a few more eyes on this pull request from Nate Coraor to add narrow-unicode builds and other cleanups to the manylinux docker images: https://github.com/pypa/manylinux/pull/35
The main change from the end-user point of view is that the pre-installed python interpreters have been rearranged. Before: /opt/ contained one subdirectory for each python version (e.g. /opt/2.7.11), plus one symlink (e.g. /opt/2.7), plus there's other stuff in /opt as well. After: /opt/ contains one symlink named after the python SO-ABI version (e.g. /opt/2.7m, /opt/2.7.mu), and the actual pythons are installed in /opt/python/ with names like /opt/python/2.7.11m. (The "SO-ABI tag" concept comes from PEP 3149, and is the same thing you see in wheel filenames like cp27mu. The "m" is due to this weird thing where python upstream has decided to mark all builds that use "pymalloc" with an "m", even though that's the standard default option that everyone uses. So every build is marked "m".) Crucially, /opt/python/*/bin/python now gives a list of all python interpreters, /opt/python/*/bin/pip gives a list of all pips, etc. This will probably break existing scripts that expect /opt/2.7 to exist; OTOH the use of SO-ABI tags does seem pretty reasonable. Details: https://github.com/pypa/manylinux/pull/35#issuecomment-193817820 Anyway, I'll go ahead and merge in a day or two if no-one objects... -n -- Nathaniel J.
