It's a year until the final release but this will give a chance to test
out certain features and how it integrates with other packages.

There were no new changes in version 3.5.9; 3.5.9 was released only because of a CDN caching problem,
which resulted in some users downloading a prerelease version of the 3.5.8 .xz source tarball.
Apart from the version number, 3.5.9 is identical to the proper 3.5.8 release.
Python 3.8 fails to build on macOS for two reasons:
* python-3.x-distutils-C++.patch fails to apply cleanly.
* An #include for <util.h> is missing, causing a build failure:
./Modules/posixmodule.c:6586:9: error: implicit declaration of function 'openpty' is invalid in C99
if (openpty(&master_fd, &slave_fd, NULL, NULL, NULL) != 0)
^
Use the correct version of python-3.x-distutils-C++.patch, and add a
patch to #include <util.h>.
This builds Python without optional dependencies.
We can't just use python3.override, as things like
python3Minimal.withPackages would pass the wrong python derivation into
these modules.
Patching numpy.distutils used to be required for pythonPackages.cython
to build on darwin. It was later accidentally disabled during one of the
refactorings, but that did not break cython. This change reinstantiates
the patch. It still applies, so it should be low maintenance and it can
still be useful.
These interpreters are prebuilt by upstream and patched using patchelf.
They are primarily added for testing purposes and development on the
non-prebuilt PyPy interpreters as it can speed up translation
significantly.
Drop `python.majorVersion`. For Python language version, use `python.pythonVersion`.
For implementation version, use `python.sourceVersion`.
Some expressions were broken. Those that were identified were fixed.

This changeset allows for cross-compilation of Python packages. Packages
built with buildPythonPackage are not allowed to refer to the build
machine. Executables that have shebangs will refer to the host.
Each time a new major/minor version of CPython was released, a new
expression would be written, typically copied from the previous release.
Often fixes are only made in the current/latest release. By merging the
expressions it's more likely that modifications end up in all versions,
as is likely intended.
This commit introduces one expression for Python 3, and another for 2.7.
These two may also be merged, but it will result in a lot of extra
conditionals making the expression harder to follow.
A common passthru is introduced for CPython and PyPy.
python 2.7: use common passthru
and /usr/lib to determine what optional modules (like bzip2, zlib,
dl, etc.) to build. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a way to
tell the Python build process to look anywhere else, so I had to
patch setup.py.
