Formulae that depend on `node` sometimes contain files that use a
shebang like `#!/usr/bin/env node` and this can lead to issues when
the `node` in a user's environment isn't brewed `node`.
For example, some node modules are compiled when the formula is built
but if the user's `node` is a different major version than brew's
`node`, the differing `NODE_MODULE_VERSION` can produce an error when
certain parts of the application are used. The formula may build and
test fine and the issue may only become apparent when more of the
application is exercised.
This adds a `Language::Node::Shebang` module (borrowing from the
existing Perl and Python examples), which allows us to use
`rewrite_shebang detected_node_shebang, ...` in formulae to address
this type of issue.
Some formulae are flexible about the version of Python3 that they use.
However, when we use `#detected_python_shebang` on these formulae, they
become coupled to the specific version of Python3 declared in the
formula.
This is harmful because
1. it prevents us from using `uses_from_macos "python"` even in formulae
where we should be able to
2. it forces us to rebuild the formula whenever we make changes to the
Python dependency when nothing but the shebang would have changed as
a consequence of the rebuild
For an example of this, see Homebrew/homebrew-core#107905.
I'd also like to do this to get rid of some really terrible hacks we
have in `glib-utils` as a means of decoupling `glib` from the specific
versioned Python dependency it used to have.
See Homebrew/homebrew-core#103916, or Homebrew/homebrew-core#106045 for
a proposal to give the same treatment to `gobject-introspection`.
A user may wish to use two use two brew-installed Python packages
together. For example, one might want to `import numpy` when using
`jupyterlab` or `ptpython`.
Currently, the only ways to do this I'm aware of is with some hacking of
`PYTHONPATH` or the creation of `.pth` files in a formula's prefix.
A better solution is to allow the virtualenvs that `brew` creates to
have access to system site-packages by default, so that `import numpy`
inside `ptpython` or `jupyterlab` just works.
Partially resolvesHomebrew/homebrew-core#76950.
This reverts commits 318175cfe2b23328f1b5f13812fd59cfd45fe1dc,

/usr/libexec/java_home is specific to macOS.
Language::Java::java_home_cmd is not implemented on Linux and raises
NotImplementedError.
Add private Language::Java::java_home_shell and use it instead of java_home_cmd.
Add public Language::Java::java_home for use by formulae.
- Avoid using a temporary variable where not necessary
- Use fewer, better stubs in the tests to avoid warnings and better
test the implemented functionality.
