note: python 3.9.x is now in source-only mode, so could not update to latest...
it is time to investigate upgrading to python 3.10 in the win and mac binaries
see https://snapshot.debian.org/
> To access snapshots of suites using Valid-Until that are older than a dozen days, it is necessary to ignore the Valid-Until header within Release files, in order to prevent apt from disregarding snapshot entries ("Release file expired"). Use aptitude -o Acquire::Check-Valid-Until=false update or apt-get -o Acquire::Check-Valid-Until=false update for this purpose.
(thanks to Axel Gembe for pointing this out)
Instead of using pre-built binary wheels from PyPI.
We should tighten this more (re other requirements-*.txt files),
but there is no C compiler available inside the wine environment atm...
note: unclear where to put these files... `contrib/build-wine/` and `contrib/osx/`
contain binary-building-related files. maybe we could have a `doc/` folder
if the need for more similar files arise.
atm there are these two, plus maybe `contrib/docker_notes.md`.
- the windows build broke with 184e122c36
- upstream fix being pulled in is https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/pull/6701

come with proper library files. This usually happens by missing development
package, or unsuitable build parameters of Python installation.

* apt-get install python3-dev

Looks like this might be fixed in pyinstaller 4.3 (we are using 4.2):
https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/pull/5218
-----
While trying to update pyinstaller to have that fix, several issues found with versions 4.3-4.10,
now reported upstream and already fixed:
https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/6338https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/6339https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/6686
So the pyinstaller commit pinned here is from the stable "v4" branch, some commits after the 4.10 tag,
which has fixes for the above issues.
with wine 6.0.2 and 6.0.3, cpython 3.9.11 fails to install (but cpython 3.9.10 worked)

btw, related note:
After changing the Dockerfile, building the docker image from cache failed. Setting ELECBUILD_NOCACHE=1 fixed it:
```
E: Could not configure 'libc6:i386'.
E: Could not perform immediate configuration on 'libgcc-s1:i386'. Please see man 5 apt.conf under APT::Immediate-Configure for details. (2)
$ ELECBUILD_NOCACHE=1 ./contrib/build-wine/build.sh
```
This includes two logically separate changes:
- on the host, try not to require sudo when running the build scripts
- namely when interacting with the docker daemon, this requires
the unix user on the host to be part of the `docker` group
- this solves part of https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/7602
- while running inside the docker containers, do not run as root
- this means that e.g. files created in mounted folders should
no longer be owned by root on the host
- there is some code duplication involved here - not sure
how it could be deduped.
The .pyc files would get created when a .py module is imported,
which is done during the build for some source files by pyinstaller
(when it analyses imports).
I considered setting PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1 in build_tools_util.sh,
to apply to all builds, but am not sure how it would affect the Android build,
where we actually want .pyc files included in the apk.
This commit ports the work of EchterAgo and cculianu from Electron-Cash,
to implement a new toolchain to scan qr codes.
Previously, on Linux and Win, we have been using zbar to access the camera
and read qrcodes; and on macOS we used CalinsQRReader (an objective-C
project by cculianu).
The new toolchain added here can use QtMultimedia to access the camera,
and then feed that image into zbar. When used this way, zbar needs
fewer dependencies and is easier to compile, in particular it can be
compiled for macOS.
The new toolchain works on all three platforms, with some caveats
(see code comments in related commits) -- so we also keep the end-to-end
zbar toolchain; but at least we can drop CalinsQRReader.
The related changes in Electron-Cash are spread over 50+ commits (several PRs and direct
pushes to master), but see in particular:
https://github.com/Electron-Cash/Electron-Cash/pull/1376
