[issue46683] Python 3.6.15 source tarball installs 3.6.8?

That's a question better suited to a forum such as the Users category of 
discuss.python.org, the python-l...@python.org mailing list, or StackOverflow, 
not a bug tracker issue.

[issue46683] Python 3.6.15 source tarball installs 3.6.8?

2022-02-08 Thread German Salazar 


German Salazar  added the comment:

So, help me understand, please. 


if I use "--enable-shared":
the build produces a rather small python executable; but, 
the build produces a dynamic library, too
and the path to the dynamic library must be included into LD_LIBRARY_PATH for 
the python executable to work correctly.

if I do NOT use "--enable-shared"
the build produces a larger python executable; and,
it does not produce a dynamic library, but
it produces an static library.
Does this mean that I do not have to worry about setting up LD_LIBRARY_PATH?

In the non-shared, static case, I thought the static library would be inside 
the executable, but, funny enough, I noticed that the python executable is 
smaller than the static library, so...I am confused. 

I would like to have 3.6, next to 3.7 and 3.8 with minimal setup, thus the 
static route.

Please advise.

Pre-post-edit: you are right, just saw your answer as I was typing this one. 


Aaaa

./python --version

is not enough, I guess I need to properly setup PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH and 
possibly PKG_CONFIG_PATH.

Sorry for the bother, guys. All is good. My apologies and thank you very much 
for the super fast response, it prompted to question and double question what I 
was doing.

2022-02-08 Thread Zachary Ware 


Zachary Ware  added the comment:

I confirmed by downloading a fresh copy of each, extracting, and looking at 
Include/patchlevel.h.  You could further check by downloading a 3.6.8 tarball 
and comparing it against the 3.6.15 tarball.

Is 3.6.8 the version you already have installed, and are you building with 
`./configure --enable-shared`?  If so, my best guess would be that your new 
`./python` binary is picking up the system `libpython3.6.so`.  Try 
`LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$(pwd) ./python --version`.

2022-02-08 Thread German Salazar 


German Salazar  added the comment:

I hear you, but I continue to need 3.6 for a bit longer.
I am on Linux, Centos 7; building from sources in a sandbox, no installation 
conflict with any else...

How do you confirm that the tarball indeed contains that it says? 

I build it and then I do "./python --version" and I get 3.6.8, instead of 
3.6.15   

I also have 3.7, and 3.8 installs (I also need them) and working on installing 
3.9 and 3.10

Also note that 3.6 is now EOL, so an upgrade is highly recommended anyway :)

[issue46683] Python 3.6.15 source tarball installs 3.6.8?

2022-02-08 Thread Zachary Ware 


Zachary Ware  added the comment:

I've just confirmed that both tarballs (gzip and xz) on the official download 
page (https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3615/) contain 3.6.15.

Note that 3.6.8 was the last bugfix release that included Windows and macOS 
installers.  If you're on one of those platforms, you may need to go through 
some extra steps to replace an existing 3.6.8 install with 3.6.15, and at that 
point you would likely be better off upgrading to 3.10 (or at least 3.9, which 
is the oldest release that still has a current binary installer).

Downloaded the XZ one:

I am currently building the Gzipped one, let's see what it turns out.
