[Todo] PyPackPack Initial Development

[haesol-shin]

Todo

Overall

• Create the basic structure of the plugin.
  • Python version setup
    • Version Enum (alpha, rc, normal)
    • do not support automatic build for new python release
  • Build target platform setup
    • Platform-specific min sdk setting
    • Check Kotlin-side enabled build target
  • Hot reload / Code Push
    • Expose direct run button for hot reload server
  • SourceSet setup (dependencies)
    • implementation
    • integration
    • etcs (src/resource path, sourceset naming, ...)
• Implement a setup for detecting and downloading necessary external tools.
  • Nuitka
  • Host Python
  • MSVC, Clang
  • Poetry or UV
  • Crossenv or something equivalent
• Define behavior for different compilation modes (e.g., debug/release, project flavors).
  • Support build variants
  • Support project flavors
  • Support methods per compile levels
    • instant (pure python)
    • bytecode (debug: .py+.pyc / release: .pyc only - use debugable flag internally for this so that users can override the settings)
    • mixed (compiled site-packages, pure user code)
    • native (fully compiled code via nuitka or lpython)

Build Tools

• Configure Nuitka as the primary build tool for Python files.
  • But, give option to choose different compile tool for future.
  • Description: Frontend(PyPackPack) <=> MiddleWare(Nuitka) <=> Backend(Clang, ...)
• Create scripts for automating the setup of Nuitka and its dependencies.
• Test the compatibility of generated builds with Android targets.
• Python code minification

Decisions

• Determine the installation path for Python (and any user libraries).
• Decide whether to extract libraries for every build or cache them locally.
• Define the storage location for files required during the build process.
