Binary build script: Enable
--with-system-expat
(#1319)
Means the `pyexpat` module is now built using the `expat` library from the stack image (rather than CPython's vendored version), so that: - any security fixes are automatically picked up from the stack image, without requiring a Python version update/new app build (the Python vendored version is also very rarely updated) - our Python runtime more closely matches that of the official Python Docker image and other binary distributions - (as a small added bonus) the Python runtime size in the slug is slightly smaller (eg 80% reduction in `pyexpat.*.so`, saving ~1.2MB) See: https://docs.python.org/3/using/configure.html#cmdoption-with-system-expat https://github.com/docker-library/python/blob/1cf43e70e45843c70909a5f914c3c6d0f85fc200/Dockerfile-linux.template#L161 The current Python vendored expat version is `2.4.7` (that's only because it's just been bumped, for the first time in a while, in general it's infrequently updated). The current expat versions in the stack images, are: - Heroku-18: `2.2.5-3ubuntu0.7` - Heroku-20: `2.2.9-1ubuntu0.4` - Heroku-22 (upcoming): `2.4.7-1` GUS-W-8060029.
