This allows us to build and test the extractor (for actual QL extraction -- not just the extractor unit tests) entirely from within the github/codeql repo, just as we do with Ruby. All that's needed is a --search-path argument that points to the repo root.

Pull request overview

Adds a repository-local script to build a Python extractor pack from source so extraction and QL tests can be run from within github/codeql using --search-path (mirroring the Ruby workflow).

Changes:

  • Introduce python/scripts/create-extractor-pack.sh to build tsg-python, generate python3src.zip, and assemble python/extractor-pack.
  • Package Python extractor tools/scripts, dbscheme files, and downgrades into the generated extractor pack.

python/scripts/create-extractor-pack.sh:34

  • make_zips.py already writes extractor/python3src.zip in the source directory before copying it to the provided output dir, so copying it back from $tmpdir is redundant. Consider dropping this cp and just use the zip generated in extractor/ (keeping the temp output dir only to avoid SameFileError in shutil.copy).
tmpdir=$(mktemp -d)
trap 'rm -rf "$tmpdir"' EXIT
(cd extractor && python3 make_zips.py "$tmpdir")
cp "$tmpdir/python3src.zip" extractor/python3src.zip

# Generate python3src.zip from the Python extractor source.
# make_zips.py creates the zip in the source directory and then copies it to the
# given output directory. We use a temporary directory to avoid a same-file copy
# error, then move the zip back.

The comment says the zip is moved back, but the script actually copies it. Please update the comment to match the behavior (or switch to mv if that’s the intent).

This issue also appears on line 31 of the same file.
