I'm doing the PR now, based on the latest versions available today:

https://pypi.org/project/pip/20.2.1/
https://pypi.org/project/setuptools/49.2.1/

If you're a maintainer and there's a reason to not update to to the latest, please let me know asap. All of our subsequent releases should be RC's, so I assume we won't take any changes bigger than targeted fixes before the next full releases.

Test failure on Windows. I'll take a look tomorrow.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The issue above doesn't appear to repro on 3.9, so I guess master has started leaking a file handle, presumably in zipimport.

I'll see what I can track down, but can't be sure I'll have enough time to get it done for RC, so if anyone else wants to help out feel free.

Okay, I've tracked it down to the new importlib.readers.ZipReader class keeping the zip file open, presumably until it gets GC'd. This is used by certifi to extract the CA certs from the whl when ensurepip is doing the self-install from the mounted wheel.

Jason is already on this bug, which is convenient :)

I haven't yet figured out whether there's a convenient way for the reader to not keep the ZIP open for as long as it exists, but I think that's going to be the safest fix.

We should definitely fix this one ourselves without forcing users to make changes to accommodate. As I mentioned above, it's only in 3.10 right now, but it's blocking updated pip and setuptools versions downlevel.

Added some test cases to the PR that directly trigger the issue, specifically this one:

    def test_entered_path_does_not_keep_open(self):
        # This is what certifi does on import to make its bundle
        # available for the process duration.
        c = resources.path('ziptestdata', 'binary.file').__enter__()
        self.zip_path.unlink()

All the tests I added pass on 3.9 (with minor tweaks for moved test utils).

To unblock the upcoming releases, I'm going to do the backports first and leave this as a release blocker for 3.10.

GitHub Actions has decided not to run CI today, so you'll have to look at Azure Pipelines for the test failures: https://dev.azure.com/Python/cpython/_build/results?buildId=67152&view=logs&j=c83831cd-3752-5cc7-2f01-8276919eb334&t=5a421c4a-0933-53d5-26b9-04b36ad165eb&l=8012

The CI failed on the PR on the master branch: https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/21748 First, the Travis CI job didn't start. I closed/opened the issue: Travis CI ran. New issue: bpo-41762. Once bpo-41762 will be fixed, it should be possible to attempt again to merge this PR.

> I haven't yet figured out whether there's a convenient way for the reader to not keep the ZIP open for as long as it exists, but I think that's going to be the safest fix.

You may be right here. I don't fully understand the repro, but it seems to me like you're trying to delete a zip file while you have resources open in that zip file. I think we need a separate issue to capture the underlying defect.

I think this reproduces the underlying issue:

>>> import zipfile
>>> from pathlib import Path
>>> p = zipfile.Path("tst.zip")
>>> Path("tst.zip").unlink()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\Users\UK03306\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\lib\pathlib.py", line 1321, in unlink
    self._accessor.unlink(self)
PermissionError: [WinError 32] The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process: 'tst.zip'
>>>

Basically, zipfile.Path objects don't have any way to close the underlying zipfile, so you have to delete the path object to free up the file for deletion.

In the context of importlib, maybe permanently holding a reference to the zipfile.Path object can't work, and it needs to be re-opened each time it's needed?

If you look at the PR into 3.9, it includes a test for this exact case. Start by copying that into 3.10 and then make it pass and everything should be good :)

pip 20.2.1 contains a regression which breaks `--system-site-package` integration: https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8695. It would be nice to include the latest patch version (20.2.3 at the moment) which fixes this and a few other issues.

I think that the backport to 3.8 may have some unintended consequences in the last patch release as venv created with 3.8 now exhibit the pip regression (https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8695.).

Steve, would you be ok if we bump all branches (master, 3.9 and 3.8) to 20.2.3?

+1 for bumping to 20.2.3, in case an upstream voice is helpful. :)

This change goes into 3.9.0 with Pablo's fix.

Can this issue be closed? Are we waiting for manual checks? Or is there any remaining thing to do?

Yeah, there is some code in PR 21748 that should be merged (the new test).

https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/168a8383c8358eea1b34df0e832f5d652faa6444

I have no objection to bumping it further, provided someone has fixed importlib.resources on 3.10 (i.e. my backported tests pass)

setuptools is still more recent in 3.9 than in master. Look at PR 21748.

Can someone try to update setuptools in master?

I did some bad things in git and so I had to recreate the PR against master, but the importlib.resources tests still fail.

Seems like the ensurepip/venv tests are fine though? Did something change in pip/certifi between 20.2.1 and 20.2.3?

I still consider the changes a release blocking regression, but if it's not blocking ensurepip then I guess the updated packages can go in now. I'll split up my PR tomorrow, but I'm not feeling like fighting git more tonight.

New changeset df8d4c83a6e1727e766191896aeabde886979587 by Jason R. Coombs in branch 'master':
bpo-41490: ``path`` and ``contents`` to aggressively close handles (#22915)
https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/df8d4c83a6e1727e766191896aeabde886979587

Question: Why do we keep setuptools?

According to PEP453:

> Once pip is able to run pip install --upgrade pip without needing setuptools installed first, then the private copy of setuptools will be removed from ensurepip in subsequent CPython releases.

Which looks like to be the fact now:

    $ python3.9 -m venv .venv
    $ source .venv/bin/activate
    $ pip uninstall setuptools
    [...]
    Successfully uninstalled setuptools-49.2.1
    $ pip install --upgrade pip
    [...]
    Successfully installed pip-20.3.3

> Why do we keep setuptools?

I agree; would be good to remove it if possible.

There are many packages that fail to build without Setuptools being present or --use-pep517 indicated. It would be nice if pip could make --use-pep517 the default, update that in Python, and then remove Setuptools. I would expect that approach will cause a great deal less turmoil in the ecosystem.
