As of Xcode 7, SDKs for Apple platforms now include textual-format stub
libraries whose file names have a .tbd extension rather than the
standard OS X .dylib extension. The Apple compiler tool chain handles
these stub libraries transparently and the installed system shared libraries
are still .dylibs. However, the new stub libraries cause problems for
third-party programs that support building with Apple SDKs and make
build-time decisions based on the presence or paths of system-supplied
shared libraries in the SDK. In particular, building Python itself with
an SDK fails to find system-supplied libraries during setup.py's build of
standard library extension modules. The solution is to have
find_library_file() in Distutils search for .tbd files, along with
the existing types (.a, .so, and .dylib). Patch by Tim Smith.
Known limitations of the current implementation:
- documentation changes are incomplete
- there's a reference leak I haven't tracked down yet
The leak is most visible by running:
./python -m test -R3:3 test_importlib
However, you can also see it by running:
./python -X showrefcount
Importing the array or _testmultiphase modules, and
then deleting them from both sys.modules and the local
namespace shows significant increases in the total
number of active references each cycle. By contrast,
with _testcapi (which continues to use single-phase
initialisation) the global refcounts stabilise after
a couple of cycles.
Along the way, dismantle importlib._bootstrap._SpecMethods as it was
no longer relevant and constructing the new function required
partially dismantling the class anyway.
_decimal:
o Make all "mpd_t to C integer" conversion functions available in both the
64-bit and the 32-bit versions.
o Make all mixed mpd_t/C integer arithmetic functions available in the
32-bit version.
o Better handling of __STDC_LIMIT_MACROS for C++ users.
o Add struct tags (at the request of C++ users).
2) Check for libmpdec.so.2 if --with-system-libmpdec is used.
when building _tkinter. configure has two new options; if used, both must
be specified:
./configure \
--with-tcltk-includes="-I/opt/local/include" \
--with-tcltk-libs="-L/opt/local/lib -ltcl8.5 -ltk8.5"
In addition, the options can be overridden with make:
make \
TCLTK_INCLUDES="-I/opt/local/include" \
TCLTK_LIBS="-L/opt/local/lib -ltcl8.6 -ltk8.6"
