On PPC Leopard, Mac OS X 10.5.8, py311-flit_core @3.9.0 does not build (which is required for py311-wheel)

[ballapete (Peter "Pete" Dyballa)]

My aim is to install meson with Python 3.11 (because there are too many ports that depend on old Python versions and I do not want to keep a Python zoo on a limited disk), but it's not possible to install its requisites which worked with Python 3.10, see also #69319 and #69106.

Attached are a system crash log and main.log files from trying to build py311-wheel again.

[Schamschula (Marius Schamschula)]

It sure looks like the problem is py311-flit_core. The most recent update built fine of 10.6.8.

See: ​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/commit/0034e3d136b77b28399e0eb5f140bf551554a8f6

Note: the flit backend for py-wheel was added on March 2023.

See: ​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/commit/9f93c383763395c9bb587b533b6c813f754c8cc3

Replying to Schamschula:

I have pure Leopard, Mac OS X 10.5.8.

[Schamschula (Marius Schamschula)]

Yes, I'm aware of that. There are no build bots below 10.6.8, and hence it is the closest information I could find.

I don't run anything older than macOS 12. The only working machine I have that runs your OS version is a G3 Pismo. It is on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, and doesn't have MacPorts installed.

[ballapete (Peter "Pete" Dyballa)]

I assumed

  py-bootstrap-modules @2022-12-23_0 (active) requested_variants='' platform='darwin 9' archs='noarch' date='2023-01-22T21:40:10+0100'

was too much out-of-date, so I rebuilt and reinstalled it. Afterwards I let port show leaves of Python 3.11 modules, and deleted them:

port uninstall py311-build py311-installer py311-setuptools py311-wheel

They were just leaves, nothing needed them. And they created some new leaves:

port uninstall py311-packaging py311-pyproject_hooks

So the base Python 3.11 installation was quite clean and I

Successfully built installer-0.7.0-py3-none-any.whl
Successfully built pyproject_hooks-1.0.0-py3-none-any.whl

and I invoked then

port -vsd build py311-build

which caused some disaster (just citing port's comments and inserting some empty lines, not mentioning the need to install two or three other modules):

So I have now, when documenting:

  python311 @3.11.8_0 (active) requested_variants='' platform='darwin 9' archs='ppc' date='2024-02-11T16:43:31+0100'

  py311-pyproject_hooks @1.0.0_0 (active) requested_variants='' platform='darwin any' archs='noarch' date='2024-02-11T22:16:00+0100'

With this setup it does not work to install one kind of modules, others do build and install:

  py311-setuptools @69.0.3_0 (active) requested_variants='' platform='darwin any' archs='noarch' date='2024-02-11T22:41:15+0100'
  py311-pip @24.0_0 (active) requested_variants='' platform='darwin any' archs='noarch' date='2024-02-11T22:51:42+0100'

With pip3 I could try to install those modules that port cannot – because I seem to have now a faulty build_wheel routine?

So py310-build installs fine, but py311-build does not, is it the case?

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

If python is crashing in _Py_dg_infinity, isn't this a duplicate of #69319? It's quite likely any module that happens to directly or indirectly use float("inf") or the equivalent triggers the problem.

[ballapete (Peter "Pete" Dyballa)]

Replying to barracuda156:

So py310-build installs fine, but py311-build does not, is it the case?

There is a slight difference…

My assumption was that some prerequisites for building Python modules were not OK. So I tried to remove the ones built, in two steps in order keep most dependencies untouched, and then rebuild them manually, following the timely order by which port installed them. py-bootstrap-modules was first rebuilt, and then followed, as described earlier, py311-installer and py311-pyproject_hooks. Then I tried to build py311-build, which had to build to dependencies I did not see before. And, honestly, because I do not remember exactly whether I staged port install … after portbuild …, during this py311-pyproject_hooks was built and installed anew. IMO first builds succeeded and when this or that module was build and installed again, the machinery became defective…

I can redo this all and exactly document my deeds on my MacBook, after the Tiger jobs were finished.

The module build failures happened with both versions of Python, 3.11.7 and 3.11.8.

Looking into the log I see that these modules are included in py-bootstrap-modules: build-0.9.0 flit_core-3.8.0 installer-0.6.0 packaging-21.3 pep517-0.13.0 pyparsing-3.0.9 python-install-0.0.3 setuptools_scm-6.4.2 tomli-1.2.3 wheel-0.37.1 – Portfile shows the same components. Yesterday I kind of additionally installed a different version of "installer": installer-0.7.0, and today again:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root        402663 2024-02-12 17:25:08.000000000 +0100 /opt/local/var/macports/software/py311-installer/py311-installer-0.7.0_0.darwin_any.noarch.tbz2

py311-build has a dependency, so I decided to build and install it first:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root        115487 2024-02-12 17:54:48.000000000 +0100 /opt/local/var/macports/software/py311-packaging/py311-packaging-23.2_0.darwin_any.noarch.tbz2

py-bootstrap-modules contains a version that is two major versions behind (21.3 vs. 23.2) …

Looking at the dependencies meson and py311-meson have, those ports that port needs to install some additional software, I see py311-build py311-setuptools py311-wheel. This time I am choosing the easiest one

-rw-r--r-- 1 root       1941867 2024-02-12 18:16:17.000000000 +0100 /opt/local/var/macports/software/py311-setuptools/py311-setuptools-69.0.3_0.darwin_any.noarch.tbz2

Again, py311-build has a different, a ripe version, that py-bootstrap-modules does not use: 0.9.0 vs. 1.0.3. The other dependent packages, py311-flit_core and py311-wheel both depend on py311-build, so I am at an end now.
