[sarahec]

Builds on the excellent work done by @ferrine in #336801 and completes the patch.

Changes from #336801:

• Build pyobjc source from github (replaced pypi)
• Applies upstream patches to fix multiple tests
• Applies test-specific patches to make them work
• Disables other broken test modules
• Uses the new darwin.libffi build'
• Uses the unittestCheckHook in place of deprecated python setup.py test
• Injects sw_vers into testing instead of editing files
• Fills out the meta entries
• Adds @sarahec as a co-maintainer

Things done

• Built on platform(s)
  • [ ] x86_64-linux
  • [ ] aarch64-linux
  • [ ] x86_64-darwin
  • [x] aarch64-darwin
• For non-Linux: Is sandboxing enabled in nix.conf? (See Nix manual)
  • [ ] sandbox = relaxed
  • [x] sandbox = true
• [x] Tested, as applicable:
  • NixOS test(s) (look inside nixos/tests)
  • and/or package tests
  • or, for functions and "core" functionality, tests in lib/tests or pkgs/test
  • made sure NixOS tests are linked to the relevant packages
• [ ] Tested compilation of all packages that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review rev HEAD". Note: all changes have to be committed, also see nixpkgs-review usage
• [x] Tested basic functionality of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
• 25.05 Release Notes (or backporting 24.11 and 25.05 Release notes)
  • [ ] (Package updates) Added a release notes entry if the change is major or breaking
  • [ ] (Module updates) Added a release notes entry if the change is significant
  • [ ] (Module addition) Added a release notes entry if adding a new NixOS module
• [x] Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

There's one issue remaining -- testing segfaults during unittest discovery if run in the sandbox. I found significant work happening upstream to update the unit testing infrastructure, so I suggest we run with this as is and see what we can do differently in the next release.

pytest can often run unittest tests, I think. Have you tried pytestCheckHook?

Will review more thoroughly in the next couple days.

pytest can often run unittest tests, I think. Have you tried pytestCheckHook?

The short answer: pytest can't run these. I spent a full day trying to make it work with miniscule success. (I could run one or two test modules, tops. The code does non-standard things with how it uses unittest and sets up loading paths. Using the unittestCheckHook was a compromise to not have to use python setup.py test.)

I then reverted back to unittest to get a good number of tests working.
