Hello there, Has anyone an idea why building * Python/2.7.16-GCCcore-8.3.0 * Python/3.7.4-GCCcore-8.3.0
as provided upstream on https://github.com/easybuilders/easybuild-easyconfigs/tree/master/easybuild/easyconfigs/p/Python (Master branch) will fail at least in the combination * foss/2019b * EasyBuild/4.2.0 * RHEL 7.7 (and propably but not testet Centos7.7) ? Replacing OS OpenSSL with easybuilds foss-2019b OpenSSL is not helping here. The thing is: When removing "exts_default_options" and all "exts_list"-content both Pythons will build just fine. Just inserting the PIP extensions is enough to make it fail (tested on Python 3). The Python traceback looks like this on both Python-Versions (example from Python2.17.16). ____________________________________________________________________________________ == building and installing Python/2.7.16-GCCcore-8.3.0... == fetching files...
