[Python-Dev] building extensions as builtins is broken in 3.7 (original) (raw)

Hi,

I am working on the release blocker https://bugs.python.org/issue32232. I tried to apply the patch proposed by Matthias Klose and I found that it works on Unix but it fails to build on Windows (probably because circular imports). I tried to add some tests but after some work on the problem and some comments by Ned Deily I am starting to think that the test for this is basically compiling the whole interpreter with static linking of the built-ins and run the whole test suite. This has to be done as a new build target on Travis. I did some experiments with this following:

https://wiki.python.org/moin/BuildStatically

But I run into multiple linking errors. The Travis build hangs forever and then fails in the best case.

Here is an example of what I am talking: https://github.com/pablogsal/cpython/pull/1

In this PR you can see the patch and the static linking configured as per above and the Travis output.

I am happy to work on this as long as someone can tell me what is the appropriate course of action.

Thank you very much for your time! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/attachments/20180403/c1c01840/attachment.html>
