This change gets the Python codebase into a state where it conforms to the conventions of this codebase. It's now possible to include headers from Python, without worrying about ordering. Python has traditionally solved that problem by "diamonding" everything in Python.h, but that's problematic since it means any change to any Python header invalidates all the build artifacts. Lastly it makes tooling not work. Since it is hard to explain to Emacs when I press C-c C-h to add an import line it shouldn't add the header that actually defines the symbol, and instead do follow the nonstandard Python convention. Progress has been made on letting Python load source code from the zip executable structure via the standard C library APIs. System calss now recognizes zip!FILENAME alternative URIs as equivalent to zip:FILENAME since Python uses colon as its delimiter. Some progress has been made on embedding the notice license terms into the Python object code. This is easier said than done since Python has an extremely complicated ownership story. - Some termios APIs have been added - Implement rewinddir() dirstream API - GetCpuCount() API added to Cosmopolitan Libc - More bugs in Cosmopolitan Libc have been fixed - zipobj.com now has flags for mangling the path - Fixed bug a priori with sendfile() on certain BSDs - Polyfill F_DUPFD and F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC across platforms - FIOCLEX / FIONCLEX now polyfilled for fast O_CLOEXEC changes - APE now supports a hybrid solution to no-self-modify for builds - Many BSD-only magnums added, e.g. O_SEARCH, O_SHLOCK, SF_NODISKIO |

SYNOPSIS
Cosmopolitan Standard Library.
OVERVIEW
This directory defines static archives defining functions, like printf(), mmap(), win32, etc. Please note that the Cosmopolitan build configuration doesn't link any C/C++ library dependencies by default, so you still have the flexibility to choose the one provided by your system. If you'd prefer Cosmopolitan, just add $(LIBC) and $(CRT) to your linker arguments.
Your library is compromised of many bite-sized static archives. We use the checkdeps tool to guarantee that the contents of the archives are organized in a logical way that's easy to use with or without our makefile infrastructure, since there's no cyclic dependencies.
The Cosmopolitan Library exports only the most stable canonical system calls for all supported operating systems, regardless of which platform is used for compilation. We polyfill many of the APIs, e.g. read(), write() so they work consistently everywhere while other apis, e.g. CreateWindowEx(), might only work on one platform, in which case they become no-op functions on others.
Cosmopolitan polyfill wrappers will usually use the dollar sign naming convention, so they may be bypassed when necessary. This same convention is used when multiple implementations of string library and other performance-critical function are provided to allow Cosmopolitan to go fast on both old and newer computers.
We take an approach to configuration that relies heavily on the compiler's dead code elimination pass (libc/dce.h). Most of the code is written so that, for example, folks not wanting support for OpenBSD can flip a bit in SUPPORT_VECTOR and that code will be omitted from the build. The same is true for builds that are tuned using -march=native which effectively asks the library to not include runtime support hooks for x86 processors older than what you use.
Please note that, unlike Cygwin or MinGW, Cosmopolitan does not achieve broad support by bolting on a POSIX emulation layer. We do nothing more than (in most cases) stateless API translations that get you 90% of the way there in a fast lightweight manner. We therefore can't address some of the subtle differences, such as the nuances of absolute paths on Windows. Our approach could be compared to something more along the lines of, "the Russians just used a pencil to write in space", versus spending millions researching a pen like NASA.
