---------------------------------------
Summary: Explore options to stabilize the python dependency of the
scripting extension
Key: MINIFICPP-1902
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MINIFICPP-1902
Project: Apache NiFi MiNiFi C++
Issue Type: Task
Reporter: Marton Szasz
libpython changes its SONAME every minor version, making it impossible to
distribute binaries that work across multiple python versions. The script
extension depends on libpython through pybind11.
Python itself provides a stable API since 3.2, which is fairly old at this
point: [https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/stable.html#c-api-stability]
Pybind11 and boost.python are both using API functions that are not part of the
stable API: [https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/issues/1755]
There seems to be some activity on swig to support this stable API:
[https://github.com/swig/swig/pull/2190]
TODO: explore options, so that binary distributions of the scripting extension
is possible
