hgweb: encode WSGI environment using the ISO-8859-1 codec The WSGI specification (PEP 3333) specifies that on Python 3 all strings passed by the server must be of type str with code points encodable using the ISO 8859-1 codec. For some reason, I introduced a bug in 2632c1ed8f34 by applying the reverse change. Maybe I got confused because PEP 3333 says that arbitrary operating system environment variables may be contained in the WSGI environment and therefore we need to handle the WSGI environment variables like we would handle operating system environment variables. The bug mentioned in the previous paragraph and fixed by this changeset manifested e.g. in the path of the URL being encoded in the wrong way. Browsers encode non-ASCII bytes with the percent-encoding. WSGI servers will decode the percent-encoded bytes and pass them to the application as strings where each byte is mapped to the corresponding code point with the same ordinal (i.e. it is decoded using the ISO-8859-1 codec). Mercurial uses the bytes type for these strings (which makes much more sense), so we need to encode it again using the ISO-8859-1 codec. If we use another codec, it can result in nonsense.

Oxidized Mercurial

This project provides a Rust implementation of the Mercurial (hg)
version control tool.

Under the hood, the project uses
PyOxidizer to embed a Python
interpreter in a binary built with Rust. At run-time, the Rust fn main()
is called and Rust code handles initial process startup. An in-process
Python interpreter is started (if needed) to provide additional
functionality.

Building

First, acquire and build a copy of PyOxidizer; you probably want to do this in
some directory outside of your clone of Mercurial:

$ git clone https://github.com/indygreg/PyOxidizer.git
$ cd PyOxidizer
$ cargo build --release

Then build this Rust project using the built pyoxidizer executable:

$ /path/to/pyoxidizer/target/release/pyoxidizer build --release

If all goes according to plan, there should be an assembled application
under build/<arch>/release/app/ with an hg executable:

$ build/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/release/app/hg version
Mercurial Distributed SCM (version 5.3.1+433-f99cd77d53dc+20200331)
(see https://mercurial-scm.org for more information)

Running Tests

To run tests with a built hg executable, you can use the --with-hg
argument to run-tests.py. But there's a wrinkle: many tests run custom
Python scripts that need to import modules provided by Mercurial. Since
these modules are embedded in the produced hg executable, a regular
Python interpreter can't access them! To work around this, set PYTHONPATH
to the Mercurial source directory. e.g.:

$ cd /path/to/hg/src/tests
$ PYTHONPATH=`pwd`/.. python3.9 run-tests.py \
    --with-hg `pwd`/../rust/hgcli/build/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/release/app/hg
