* The worst one was Persistant -> Persistent. This involved renaming
PersistentConfig but the impact of that is considered minimal enough to be
worth fixing.
* We enforce default and copy constructors where possible, this isn't very
pythonic but we can't use copy.deepcopy on our types.
* The structs that have specialised constructors e.g. FloatVector or Subresource
also have those documented though we have no way to enforce it.
* This is necessary as they expect to be run on the UI thread, but can be
fetched from python scripts running on the python script thread. We block
invoke over to the UI and suspend python's GIL to avoid deadlocks.
* This doesn't cover all cases but helps with 'pythonic' cases where a list
returned from a function should be expected to be mutable. Modifying direct
'members' can still modify through const.
* This is a little specific to us, but when we see references to a `renderdoc`
module etc we want to be able to look up the generated stubs instead as they
have better type hints for processing.
* This tries to ast parse source that may contain an error.
* We don't try to fully error recover from unlimited problems, but a single
statement that is being edited can be tolerated by commenting out lines around
it
* We buffer output to avoid spamming huge numbers of signals especially when
single lines can be many write calls. This means if an exception is processed
immediately after a print the output from the print may come after the
extension.
* This is not the default python layout but is convenient for sharing the
standard library .zip and include folder with separate binary folders per-
platform. The layout mirrors what we include in the repository.
* This is expected to be in a pyside\ subfolder, with an organisation matching
our default setup.
* We also now copy the shiboken2 python module (if it exists) as required by new
pyside2 versions.
* We create both a stubs folder for each specific version, and a 'latest' that
is updated by newer RD versions.
* For development, the stubs will be regenerated any time the git commit hash
changes for development builds.
