Good question: I was not specific. This is a build requirement, not a run-time requirement. We’re using core Python just to generate some C/Fortran source code files based on the results of running “configure”. As far as we can tell, no additional pip packages are needed — it’s simple read-config-files-and-do-some-string-manipulation stuff.
This is stuff we’ve done with (core) Perl since Open MPI v1.x. We’re just converting this Per to Python because, frankly, many developers don’t know Perl these days. > On May 15, 2025, at 10:32 AM, Mitchell Dorrell <m...@psc.edu> wrote: > > On Thu, May 15, 2025, 10:13 Jeff Squyres <j...@squyres.com > <mailto:j...@squyres.com>> wrote: >> Does anyone have any opinions on Open MPI v6.x adding Python >=v3.7 as a >> build requirement? > > > Just Python?
