Python 3.3 coming soon?

Python 3.3 coming soon?

[Ryan Johnson]

Hi python maintainer,

Is there any chance to get a build of python 3.3 on x86_64? (I need PEP 
380, delegating to a subgenerator, and the Windows version doesn't play 
nice with cygwin shells). I tried downloading the sources and applying 
the patches mentioned in the .cygport file for the cygwin python 3.2 
source distribution, but make fails with:

./Modules/signalmodule.c: In function ‘fill_siginfo’:
./Modules/signalmodule.c:745:60: error: ‘siginfo_t’ has no member named 
‘si_band’
PyStructSequence_SET_ITEM(result, 6, PyLong_FromLong(si->si_band));
^
Include/tupleobject.h:62:75: note: in definition of macro ‘PyTuple_SET_ITEM’
#define PyTuple_SET_ITEM(op, i, v) (((PyTupleObject *)(op))->ob_item[i] = v)
^
./Modules/signalmodule.c:745:5: note: in expansion of macro 
‘PyStructSequence_SET_ITEM’
PyStructSequence_SET_ITEM(result, 6, PyLong_FromLong(si->si_band));
^

NOTES:

  * Google turned up several other reports of the same error message,
    going back as far as python 2.6 for cygwin, but all the workarounds
    seem to have been fixed in older versions upstream, and/or fix other
    problems that had no obvious link with si_band (such as using
    ncursesw instead of ncurses).
  * I don't have (or know how to use) cygport, so maybe it would be as
    simple as changing $VERSION in the .cygport file.


Detailed steps I followed:

 1. Download python 3.3.2 source from python.org
 2. Download the cygwin python 3.2 source package using setup.exe, along
    with binaries for all dependencies (gettext, python3-tkinter, etc.)
 3. Apply the following patches (as specified in the .cygport):
    3.0b3-tkinter.patch
    3.0rc3-ctypes-util-find_library.patch
    3.1-enable-new-dtags.patch
    3.1-ncurses-abi6.patch
    3.1-PATH_MAX.patch
    3.1-ssl-threads.patch
    3.2-ctypes-libpython.patch
    3.2-cygwin-soname.patch
    3.2-dbm.patch
    3.2-distutils-shlibext.patch
    3.2-export-PyNode_SizeOf.patch
    3.2-export-PySignal_SetWakeupFd.patch
    3.2-format-parsetuple.patch
    3.2-pep3149.patch
    3.2-thread-cygwin64.patch
    CVE-2013-4238-py32.patch
    uuid.patch
 4. autoreconf -i
 5. ./configure CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/ncursesw"
    --prefix=$HOME/apps/python-3.3.2 --enable-shared --enable-ipv6
    --with-libc= --with-libm= --with-system-expat --with-system-ffi
    ac_cv_func_bind_textdomain_codeset=yes
 6. make -k

Thoughts?
Ryan

Update: I installed cygport, waded through various slight 
incompatibilities in the patches, and verified that the compilation 
still fails with the same error message. The modified .cygport and 
updated patches are attached (other patches remain the same as for 3.2).

The steps to repro are now simply:
# download the 3.3.2 source .xz from python.org
$ ./cygport --64 python3-3.cygport prep
$ ./cygport --64 python3-3.cygport compile

Going by this StackOverflow question, si_band is POSIX, though I don't 
know which version introduced it... the linux man pages suggest 
POSIX.1-2001. In any case, it looks like si_band is endemic in POSIX 
systems, but missing in cygwin.

Updating the signal module to no longer expose si_band at all seems to 
work around the problem (see patch), but compilation still dies (much 
later) with:

At this point I'm stuck... any advice from the gurus out there would be 
appreciated.

Installing libffi-devel will let python pick system libffi, so you can 
skip that libffi building part you are currently stuck.

Thanks for the hint.

Everything compiles, and I was able to create a binary package (though 
the test target fails, see below).

Now to figure out how to make setup.exe see it...

Thanks,

OK, I got it installed. The procedure (inefficient but simple enough):
- copy the package files into my local package directory
- manually hack the corresponding setup.ini to point at the new files 
and their checksums
- run setup.exe to install from local directory

This isn't a permanent solution, because setup.ini gets clobbered every 
time I connect to a mirror, and setup will try to downgrade me back to 
the official python3 package.

Meanwhile, though, a cursory test suggests that everything is working:

$ python3
Python 3.3.2 (default, Oct 15 2013, 09:21:45)
[GCC 4.8.1] on cygwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> 3+5
8
 >>> {1:3, 4:5}
{1: 3, 4: 5}

The cygport files and patches I sent before remain unchanged and would 
probably make a good starting point for the python3 maintainer's next 
release, though the si_band issue has yet to be worked out in a good way.

I finally have a 64-bit Windows box.  I will begin the process of
producing 64-bit versions of my packages.  Thanks for the head start on
the python 3.3 package.

I get the same build failure with Python 2.7.5 and 3.2.5 under 64-bit
Cygwin even though I configure --with-system-ffi and have libffi-devel
installed.  I noticed that libffi-devel installs its headers in a
non-standard location:

$ cygcheck -l libffi-devel | fgrep .h
/usr/lib/libffi-3.0.13/include/ffi.h
/usr/lib/libffi-3.0.13/include/ffitarget.h

AFAICT, this prevents Python's build system from using the system
provided libffi and attempt to build its own causing an error like the
one above.

I can workaround the problem by creating symlinks to the libffi header
files in /usr/include:

$ ln -s /usr/lib/libffi-3.0.13/include/* /usr/include

It appears that others have successfully built Python under 64-bit
Cygwin without resorting to my workaround.  Does anyone know what I'm
missing?

Thanks,
Jason

Try installing pkg-config.

That worked.
