[issue43498] "dictionary changed size during iteration" error in _ExecutorManagerThread
Thomas Petazzoni added the comment: I can confirm we are seeing the same issue when building Python 3.9 in the context of Buildroot. See http://autobuild.buildroot.net/results/ae6/ae6c4ab292589a4e4442dfb0a1286349a9bf4d29/build-end.log for an example build result. This happens since we have added 48-cores (96 threads) build machines to our build farm, which dramatically increased the build parallelism. -- nosy: +thomas-petazzoni ___ Python tracker <https://bugs.python.org/issue43498> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Thomas Petazzoni added the comment: No, if you remove PEP3147 (like the Buildroot patch does), and install only the .pyc files, you have a smaller Python installation, and nothing gets "re-generated", since what you already have are the .pyc files.

Note that we also have many more patches to disable various parts of the Python standard installation (https://git.buildroot.org/buildroot/tree/package/python3/). So either we have one option for each feature (like we have implemented), or a more general config option --disable-feature=test,this,that.

Thomas Petazzoni added the comment: I can also say that in the Buildroot project, we have patches to get rid of the PEP3147 stuff. Indeed, the PEP3147 forces one to have both the .py *and* the .pyc file for a given module. If you have only the .pyc file, Python does not recognize it and it cannot be imported. By removing the PEP3147 functionality, we are able to keep only the .pyc files on the target, therefore dividing roughly by two the size of the Python installation. -- ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue26852> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue26839] Python 3.5 running on Linux kernel 3.17+ can block at startup or on importing the random module on getrandom()
Thomas Petazzoni added the comment: The original problem is that Python wants to generate random numbers at *startup*. Are those random numbers really used for crypto-related activities? I doubt it. So isn't the proper solution to have two functions, one delivering random numbers that are usable for crypto-related activities, and which would potentially block, and a second one that delivers random numbers that are not appropriate for crypto stuff. This second function can be used at Python startup to replace what is done currently. It is most likely perfectly fine if Python blocks when explicitly asked to generate cryptographically secure random numbers. But not when simply starting the interpreter. -- ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue26839> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue25420] "import random" blocks on entropy collection on Linux with low entropy
Thomas Petazzoni added the comment:
I can confirm that I'm affected by the same issue. Booting a simple Linux
system on a Qemu ARM platform, the python startup hangs during 25 seconds due
to the call to getrandom(). I am not doing anything with Python, just starting
the Python interpreter:
# strace -t -o strace.log python
random: nonblocking pool is initialized
Python 3.5.0 (default, Dec 23 2015, 15:11:18)
[GCC 5.1.1 20150608] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>
# grep -A 2 getrandom strace.log
14:43:50
getrandom("\245\362a=\305\32Z\263\364\352j\223\0017\302q\361M\336+\2722>[", 24,
0) = 24
14:44:35 ioctl(0, TCGETS, {B38400 opost isig icanon echo ...}) = 0
14:44:35 mmap2(NULL, 262144, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS,
-1, 0) = 0x76baf000
As you can see, 25 seconds blocked due to the getrandom() system call. Makes
the Python interpreter not really usable anymore. I would understand if Python
would do when I need to generate cryptographically secure random numbers. But
at this point, I am just starting the interpreter, nothing else.
This is a regression from Python 3.4.3.

[issue20213] Change the install location of _sysconfigdata.py
New submission from Thomas Petazzoni: The _sysconfigdata.py module contains definitions that are needed when building Python modules. In cross-compilation mode, when building Python extensions for the target, we need to use the _sysconfigdata.py of the target Python while executing the host Python. However until now, the _sysconfigdata.py module was installed in build/lib.- directory, together with a number of architecture-specific shared objects, which cannot be used with the host Python. To solve this problem, this patch moves _sysconfigdata.py to a separate location, build/sysconfigdata.-/, and only this directory gets added to the PYTHONPATH of the host Python interpreter when building Python modules for the target. -- components: Cross-Build files: 0003-Change-the-install-location-of-_sysconfigdata.py.patch keywords: patch messages: 207807 nosy: thomas-petazzoni priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Change the install location of _sysconfigdata.py type: compile error versions: Python 3.4 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file33395/0003-Change-the-install-location-of-_sysconfigdata.py.patch ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue20213> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue20212] distutils: fix build_ext check to find whether we're building Python or not
New submission from Thomas Petazzoni: The build_ext logic uses sys.executable.startswith(os.path.join(sys.exec_prefix, "bin")) to determine whether we're building a third-party Python extension, or a built-in Python extension. However, this check is wrong in cross-compilation mode, because the host Python interpreter might very well be installed in its prefix, when it is used to cross-compile the target modules and extensions. The current check would mis-detect this as we're building third-party Python modules, while we are in fact building the internal Python modules of the target Python. Therefore, use the existing sysconfig.python_build variable, which provides the information of whether we're building Python itself or not in a correct way. -- components: Cross-Build files: 0002-distutils-fix-build_ext-check-to-find-whether-we-re-.patch keywords: patch messages: 207806 nosy: thomas-petazzoni priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: distutils: fix build_ext check to find whether we're building Python or not type: compile error versions: Python 3.4 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file33394/0002-distutils-fix-build_ext-check-to-find-whether-we-re-.patch ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue20212> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue20210] Provide configure options to enable/disable Python modules and extensions
New submission from Thomas Petazzoni: In the context of space-constrained embedded Linux systems, installing the entire set of Python modules and extensions is not necessarily desirable. For example, all the test modules, as well as certain extensions requiring third-parties libraries are often unnecessary, and uselessly consume precious storage on the embedded Linux system. While we could certainly remove these undesired modules and extensions manually, it is much more convenient to have configuration options to selectively enable and disable them. Another very strong benefit of having configuration options is that we can actually *disable* the build of these unneeded modules and extensions, therefore saving a lot of build time, which is very nice when you're repeatedly cross-compiling an entire embedded Linux system. The proposed set of patches add several --enable-/--disable- options to enable/disable certain Python modules and extensions. These patches have been part of Buildroot, an embedded Linux build system (used for example by Google, and many embedded processor vendors, as well as a huge number of embedded system makers) for a while, and are useful to all our users using Python on their embedded Linux systems. Instead of carrying them around, we would like to have them merged in upstream Python. Of course, we are definitely open to discussion on the approach to take to implement this configurability, and I'm ready to rework the patches according to the comments received here. Thanks! -- components: Build messages: 207802 nosy: thomas-petazzoni priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Provide configure options to enable/disable Python modules and extensions versions: Python 3.5 ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue20210> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
