This means that every +single use of `.extension_module()` needed to include the `dependencies: +py_installation.dependency()` kwarg explicitly. + +In the interest of doing the right thing out of the box, this is now the +default for extension modules that don't already include a dependency on +python. This is not expected to break anything, because it should always be +needed. Nevertheless, `py_installation.dependency().partial_dependency()` will +be detected as already included while providing no compile/link args. |
