Todd Rovito added the comment: Russell, this is excellent work!!!! I am truly amazed that within a couple of hours I had Python built and running for the iOS simulator this is a feat I didn't think was possible. Perspective on me I am very familiar with Linux, C, and Python but know very little about iOS and XCode keep that in mind when reviewing my comments.
MacOS: 10.12.2 Xcode: 8.2.1 (8C1002) iOS: 10.2 (14C89) Python source code: 3.5.1 I applied your last patch file name 20160217.diff. The first issue I ran into was clock_settime() is unavailable in iOS so I went into timemodule.c line 164 and commented out the line: ret = clock_settime((clocked_t)clk_id, &tp); then added this line ret = 0; Next I think a more serious problem was with Python/random.c line 92 "Python/random.c:92:19: error: implicit declaration of function 'getentropy' is invalid in C99 [-Werror,-Wimplicit-function-declaration]" So I did the same thing as above commented out the lines with the getentropy function and added a line of res = 0. Who needs entropy anyway? I wonder if this problem is related to issue 29057 (http://bugs.python.org/issue29057). Next in your README file you list a file called main.c when the actual code is main.m. Next main.m was not compiling with Xcode so I replaced with this line after looking at your Python-iOS-template project on GitHub, as I am not qualified to make these types of changes: -line 31 was not compiling so I replaced: wpython_home = Py_DecodeLocale([python_home UTF8String], NULL); -line 54 had a similar error so I replaced: python_argv[0] = Py_DecodeLocale(main_script, NULL); -line 56 had a similar error so I replaced with this line: python_argv[i] = Py_DecodeLocale(argv[i], NULL); -line 89 comment it out to remove the assertion failure, I am not sure what this line is supposed to do but no assertion failure seems like a better result. I didn't want to blindly attach a diff as I don't understand the Apple lingo but I wanted to provide feedback in the hope that it helps get this patch committed so iOS becomes a target for CPython in the near future.
