The restrict compilation option with icc causes deadlock when multithreading is used. This issue has already been reported to the Scotch development team, but for current versions it is more reliable not to use the restrict compilation option.
* Changed every 'fpic' variant to 'pic'. fixes#2463
Every variant that activates compilation of position independent code
has been changed to 'pic'. Hardcoded compiler flags in packages have
been substituted with `self.compiler.pic_flag`.
* Changed literal uses of '-fpic' to 'self.compiler.pic_flag'
* * add mpii* wrappers for use with intel compilers
* in mumps package, scotch is compiled without metis option when
ptscotch variant is selected. This removes confusion over which
metis.h to use
* for intel mkl, add SPACK_COMPILER_EXTRA_RPATHS ending in 'intel64'
* scotch lib requires libz when compression is turned on. This
caused a link issue on some Ubuntu distributions (not
redhat). Change Scotch package to add -lz when needed
* * intel-mkl append to SPACK_COMPILER_EXTRA_RPATHS rather than setting
* use more concise method to obtain libz libraries for scotch
* remove changes to intel mpi
* remove commented out depends_on
* fix flake8 errors
- The buggy flex-2.6.2 was blacklisted in the corresponding flex
package, but now also removed the md5sum to avoid suggesting that
this version should be revived.
The 2.6.3 has similar problems (at least for scotch), but 2.6.4
seems to work.
- Rejig flex restriction for scotch to exclude 2.6.2-2.6.3 only. Since
flex-2.6.4 appears to be okay again, we can remove the flex version
restriction that trickled through into the openfoam packages as a
consequent of an spack spec bug.
- Make flex a build dependency for the openfoam packages
(seems to have been an earlier oversight).
## Motivation
Python installations are both important and unfortunately inconsistent. Depending on the Python version, OS, and the strength of the Earth's magnetic field when it was installed, the name of the Python executable, directory containing its libraries, library names, and the directory containing its headers can vary drastically.
I originally got into this mess with #3274, where I discovered that Boost could not be built with Python 3 because the executable is called `python3` and we were telling it to use `python`. I got deeper into this mess when I started hacking on #3140, where I discovered just how difficult it is to find the location and name of the Python libraries and headers.
Currently, half of the packages that depend on Python and need to know this information jump through hoops to determine the correct information. The other half are hard-coded to use `python`, `spec['python'].prefix.lib`, and `spec['python'].prefix.include`. Obviously, none of these packages would work for Python 3, and there's no reason to duplicate the effort. The Python package itself should contain all of the information necessary to use it properly. This is in line with the recent work by @alalazo and @davydden with respect to `spec['blas'].libs` and friends.
## Prefix
For most packages in Spack, we assume that the installation directory is `spec['python'].prefix`. This generally works for anything installed with Spack, but gets complicated when we include external packages. Python is a commonly used external package (it needs to be installed just to run Spack). If it was installed with Homebrew, `which python` would return `/usr/local/bin/python`, and most users would erroneously assume that `/usr/local` is the installation directory. If you peruse through #2173, you'll immediately see why this is not the case. Homebrew actually installs Python in `/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.12_2` and symlinks the executable to `/usr/local/bin/python`. `PYTHONHOME` (and presumably most things that need to know where Python is installed) needs to be set to the actual installation directory, not `/usr/local`.
Normally I would say, "sounds like user error, make sure to use the real installation directory in your `packages.yaml`". But I think we can make a special case for Python. That's what we decided in #2173 anyway. If we change our minds, I would be more than happy to simplify things.
To solve this problem, I created a `spec['python'].home` attribute that works the same way as `spec['python'].prefix` but queries Python to figure out where it was actually installed. @tgamblin Is there any way to overwrite `spec['python'].prefix`? I think it's currently immutable.
## Command
In general, Python 2 comes with both `python` and `python2` commands, while Python 3 only comes with a `python3` command. But this is up to the OS developers. For example, `/usr/bin/python` on Gentoo is actually Python 3. Worse yet, if someone is using an externally installed Python, all 3 commands may exist in the same directory! Here's what I'm thinking:
If the spec is for Python 3, try searching for the `python3` command.
If the spec is for Python 2, try searching for the `python2` command.
If neither are found, try searching for the `python` command.
## Libraries
Spack installs Python libraries in `spec['python'].prefix.lib`. Except on openSUSE 13, where it installs to `spec['python'].prefix.lib64` (see #2295 and #2253). On my CentOS 6 machine, the Python libraries are installed in `/usr/lib64`. Both need to work.
The libraries themselves change name depending on OS and Python version. For Python 2.7 on macOS, I'm seeing:
```
lib/libpython2.7.dylib
```
For Python 3.6 on CentOS 6, I'm seeing:
```
lib/libpython3.so
lib/libpython3.6m.so.1.0
lib/libpython3.6m.so -> lib/libpython3.6m.so.1.0
```
Notice the `m` after the version number. Yeah, that's a thing.
## Headers
In Python 2.7, I'm seeing:
```
include/python2.7/pyconfig.h
```
In Python 3.6, I'm seeing:
```
include/python3.6m/pyconfig.h
```
It looks like all Python 3 installations have this `m`. Tested with Python 3.2 and 3.6 on macOS and CentOS 6
Spack has really nice support for libraries (`find_libraries` and `LibraryList`), but nothing for headers. Fixed.

Package repositories now look like this:
top-level-dir/
repo.yaml
packages/
libelf/
package.py
mpich/
package.py
...
This leaves room at the top level for additional metadata, source,
per-repo configs, indexes, etc., and it makes it easy to see that
something is a spack repo (just look for repo.yaml and packages).
