With a Python 3 build of Sage on OS X 10.14.6, I decided to install as many optional and experimental packages as I could. The results:
*Optional:* - the following packages failed to build, and the reason wasn't completely obvious: awali buckygen cbc gambit gdb mpi4py - the following packages failed because they (or their installation scripts) are not compatible with Python 3: beautifulsoup brian guppy mercurial p_group_cohomology (but work is in progress) pyx scons trac - the following packages failed at first, but built after installing some prerequisities: deformation — requires installation of mpir dot2tex — requires Graphviz rst2ipynb — requires pandoc - I skipped the following packages: atlas (installation is skipped on OS X) python2 (I wanted to use a pure Python 3 build) - Every other optional package built. *Question/Proposal:* do we demote the failed packages to experimental? (Not deformation, dot2tex, or rst2ipynb, also not p_group_cohomology because it is just about ready for py3, but the others.) I plan to do this unless there are objections. *Experimental:* - the following failed to build: autotools cocoalib libtheora polymake qepcad scipoptsuite surf valgrind - the following succeeded: gap3 lie modular_decomposition perl_term_readline_gnu polymake succeeded but only after installing the perl JSON package. (Why is jupymake optional and polymake experimental? jupymake has polymake as a dependency, and optional packages should not depend on experimental packages.) - I skipped the following: compilerwrapper — when I install this, it breaks the Sage library: after touching any .pyx file, "sage -b" or "make" fails with an error about ld. *Doctesting:* Then I ran `make ptestalllong`. There were lots of "internet" failures. Otherwise: - failures in one file because of rst2ipynb - failures in two files because of dot2tex - failures in one file because of latex - failures in one file because of gap_packages (reported by Emmanuel Charpentier on sage-release many times) Other than the internet problems, not too bad. -- John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
