_sysconfigdata is generated in srcdir, not builddir, so if you do two consecutive differently builds in different builddirs and using the same srcdir, then the _sysconfigdata of the second build wins. _sysconfigdata.py has to be built in the builddir, not the srcdir.

looks like the module can be put into $builddir/`cat pybuilddir.txt`. However pybuilddir.txt is written/computed by the just built python. So either - implement distutils.util.get_platform in configure.ac - or write a temporary pybuilddir.txt, call the just built python -c 'print("build/lib.%s-%" % (distutils.util.get_platform(), sys.version[:3]))' to write the final pybuilddir.txt, move the _sysconfigdata.py to this location. and remove the pybuilddir.txt writing in setup.py

proposed patch, tested with configure, build and install

The patch is rather ugly, I think. You should arrange for sysconfigdata to be generated directly at the right place instead (not sure how, perhaps it should be done from setup.py). Also, there's no need for this to be a release blocker.

(Once this issue is resolved, a permanent fix for the minor OS X test case failure of Issue15188 can be developed and applied.)

while I appreciate the fix for #13150, it's the patch for #13150 which introduces the ugliness to build the file in the srcdir in the first place. re-setting the bug severity. the current behaviour can result in a bogus installation; please let the release manager decide on it.

like other platform dependent files _sysconfigdata.py should be installed in plat-*

> like other platform dependent files _sysconfigdata.py should be installed in plat-* What are you talking about? plat-* files are only OS-specific, while _sysconfigdata also depends on configure options and other stuff.

The bug certainly is a valid annoyance, but I won't hold up beta2 for it.

It seems there is no urge to fix this before 3.3 -- fine with me.

If sysconfig._generate_posix_vars() creates the build directory and pybuilddir.txt (instead of setup.py) then it could write _sysconfigdata.py in the correct place. Then setup.py would not have to mess with its own sys.path. One issue with having _sysconfigdata.py in the build dir is that distutils copies it (along with everything else in the build dir) to .../lib/python3.x/lib-dynload. So I think Matthias' patch results in two copies of _sysconfigdata.py being installed (plus __pycache__/_sysconfigdata.pyc).

Alternative patch.

I did not test the patch but it does not look bad.

looks ok, two issues are: builddir should have added +("-pydebug" if hasattr(sys, "gettotalrefcount") else "") the installation installs this to the lib-dynload directory, which maybe is not desired.

> builddir should have added > +("-pydebug" if hasattr(sys, "gettotalrefcount") else "") Oops, yes. > the installation installs this to the lib-dynload directory, which > maybe is not desired. The lines + -rm (DESTDIR)(DESTDIR)(DESTDIR)(DESTSHARED)/_sysconfigdata.py + -rm -r (DESTDIR)(DESTDIR)(DESTDIR)(DESTSHARED)/__pycache__ in the patch remove them from lib-dynload.

Updated patch.

looks fine. from my point of view this should go to the 3.3 branch after the 3.3.0 release, and to the trunk.

The previous 'alt_sysconfigdata.patch' didn't apply cleanly to 3.3/3.x. I've attached an updated patch that does. Any objections to applying this to 3.3 -> 3.x now that the freeze is over?

There seems to be a bootstrap issue here. Building with ./configure --with-pydebug --prefix=... on OS X in a clean source directory (hg purge --all), 'make' makes it to building the static libpython .a but then dies on the sysconfig generate-posix-vars step: ar rc libpython3.4dm.a Modules/_threadmodule.o Modules/signalmodule.o Modules/posixmodule.o Modules/errnomodule.o Modules/pwdmodule.o Modules/_sre.o Modules/_codecsmodule.o Modules/_weakref.o Modules/_functoolsmodule.o Modules/operator.o Modules/_collectionsmodule.o Modules/itertoolsmodule.o Modules/_localemodule.o Modules/_iomodule.o Modules/iobase.o Modules/fileio.o Modules/bytesio.o Modules/bufferedio.o Modules/textio.o Modules/stringio.o Modules/zipimport.o Modules/faulthandler.o Modules/symtablemodule.o Modules/xxsubtype.o /usr/bin/ranlib: file: libpython3.4dm.a(dynamic_annotations.o) has no symbols /usr/bin/ranlib: file: libpython3.4dm.a(pymath.o) has no symbols ranlib libpython3.4dm.a ranlib: file: libpython3.4dm.a(dynamic_annotations.o) has no symbols ranlib: file: libpython3.4dm.a(pymath.o) has no symbols /usr/bin/clang -framework CoreFoundation -o python Modules/python.o libpython3.4dm.a -ldl -framework CoreFoundation ./python -E -S -m sysconfig --generate-posix-vars Could not find platform dependent libraries <exec_prefix> Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to [:<exec_prefix>] Traceback (most recent call last): File "/py/dev/default/b10.7_t10.7_x4.3_cclang_d/unix/source/Lib/runpy.py", line 160, in _run_module_as_main "__main__", fname, loader, pkg_name) File "/py/dev/default/b10.7_t10.7_x4.3_cclang_d/unix/source/Lib/runpy.py", line 73, in _run_code exec(code, run_globals) File "/py/dev/default/b10.7_t10.7_x4.3_cclang_d/unix/source/Lib/sysconfig.py", line 683, in _main() File "/py/dev/default/b10.7_t10.7_x4.3_cclang_d/unix/source/Lib/sysconfig.py", line 671, in _main _generate_posix_vars() File "/py/dev/default/b10.7_t10.7_x4.3_cclang_d/unix/source/Lib/sysconfig.py", line 374, in _generate_posix_vars pybuilddir = 'build/lib.%s-%s' % (get_platform(), sys.version[:3]) File "/py/dev/default/b10.7_t10.7_x4.3_cclang_d/unix/source/Lib/sysconfig.py", line 651, in get_platform get_config_vars(), File "/py/dev/default/b10.7_t10.7_x4.3_cclang_d/unix/source/Lib/sysconfig.py", line 520, in get_config_vars _init_posix(_CONFIG_VARS) File "/py/dev/default/b10.7_t10.7_x4.3_cclang_d/unix/source/Lib/sysconfig.py", line 393, in _init_posix from _sysconfigdata import build_time_vars ImportError: No module named '_sysconfigdata'

Ah, this is because of this OS X-specific snippet in sysconfig.get_platform(): elif osname[:6] == "darwin": import _osx_support osname, release, machine = _osx_support.get_platform_osx( get_config_vars(), osname, release, machine) get_config_vars() results in _init_posix() eventually being called, which attempts to import _sysconfigdata. Ugh. Looking into a patch now.

That last commit fixes in-tree builds, but broke out-of-tree builds. I've refactored the patch (sysconfig.py.patch) to fix the issue, but it's getting progressively more hacky, so I wanted to see what other people think before proceeding. (That being said, it works a *lot* better than the previous solution of writing _sysconfigdata.py to the root builddir, then moving it. That didn't work at all for out-of-tree builds. This solution slots _sysconfigdata directly into sys.modules, which _init_posix() is more than happy with.)

On OS X, Trent's fixes solved the bootstrap issue and _sysconfigdata.py is now created in buildir. Closing.
