|
(none by default).
|
|
|
|
Some Linux distribution packaging policies recommend against bundling
|
|
dependencies. For example, Fedora installs wheel packages in the
|
|
``/usr/share/python-wheels/`` directory and don't install the

* ``install``: run ``python -m ensurepip --altinstall`` command;
|
|
* ``no``: don't run ensurepip;
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 3.6
|
|
|
|
|
|
Performance options
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Configuring Python using ``--enable-optimizations --with-lto`` (PGO + LTO) is
|
|
recommended for best performance.
|
|
|
|
.. cmdoption:: --enable-optimizations
|
|
|
|
Enable Profile Guided Optimization (PGO) using :envvar:`PROFILE_TASK`
|
|
(disabled by default).
|
|
|
|
The C compiler Clang requires ``llvm-profdata`` program for PGO. On
|
|
macOS, GCC also requires it: GCC is just an alias to Clang on macOS.
|
|
|
|
Disable also semantic interposition in libpython if ``--enable-shared`` and
|
|
GCC is used: add ``-fno-semantic-interposition`` to the compiler and linker
|
|
flags.
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 3.6
|
|
|
|
.. versionchanged:: 3.10
|
|
Use ``-fno-semantic-interposition`` on GCC.
|
|
|
|
.. envvar:: PROFILE_TASK
|
|
|
|
Environment variable used in the Makefile: Python command line arguments for
|
|
the PGO generation task.
|
|
|
|
Default: ``-m test --pgo --timeout=$(TESTTIMEOUT)``.
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 3.8
|
|
|
|
.. cmdoption:: --with-lto
|
|
|
|
Enable Link Time Optimization (LTO) in any build (disabled by default).
|
|
|
|
The C compiler Clang requires ``llvm-ar`` for LTO (``ar`` on macOS), as well
|
|
as an LTO-aware linker (``ld.gold`` or ``lld``).
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 3.6
|
|
|
|
.. cmdoption:: --with-computed-gotos
|
|
|
|
Enable computed gotos in evaluation loop (enabled by default on supported
|
|
compilers).
|
|
|
|
.. cmdoption:: --without-pymalloc
|
|
|
|
Disable the specialized Python memory allocator :ref:`pymalloc <pymalloc>`
|
|
(enabled by default).
|
|
|
|
See also :envvar:`PYTHONMALLOC` environment variable.
|
|
|
|
.. cmdoption:: --without-doc-strings
|
|
|
|
Disable static documentation strings to reduce the memory footprint (enabled
|
|
by default). Documentation strings defined in Python are not affected.
|
|
|
|
Don't define the ``WITH_DOC_STRINGS`` macro.
|
|
|
|
See the ``PyDoc_STRVAR()`` macro.
|
|
|
|
.. cmdoption:: --enable-profiling
|
|
|
|
Enable C-level code profiling with ``gprof`` (disabled by default).
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. _debug-build:
|
|
|
|
Python Debug Build
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
A debug build is Python built with the :option:`--with-pydebug` configure
|
|
option.
|
|
|
|
Effects of a debug build:
|
|
|
|
* Display all warnings by default: the list of default warning filters is empty
|
|
in the :mod:`warnings` module.
|
|
* Add ``d`` to :data:`sys.abiflags`.
|
|
* Add :func:`sys.gettotalrefcount` function.
|
|
* Add :option:`-X showrefcount <-X>` command line option.
|
|
* Add :envvar:`PYTHONTHREADDEBUG` environment variable.
|
|
* Add support for the ``__ltrace__`` variable: enable low-level tracing in the
|
|
bytecode evaluation loop if the variable is defined.
|
|
* Install :ref:`debug hooks on memory allocators <default-memory-allocators>`
|
|
to detect buffer overflow and other memory errors.
|
|
* Define ``Py_DEBUG`` and ``Py_REF_DEBUG`` macros.
|
|
* Add runtime checks: code surrounded by ``#ifdef Py_DEBUG`` and ``#endif``.
|
|
Enable ``assert(...)`` and ``_PyObject_ASSERT(...)`` assertions: don't set
|
|
the ``NDEBUG`` macro (see also the :option:`--with-assertions` configure
|
|
option). Main runtime checks:
|
|
|
|
* Add sanity checks on the function arguments.
|
|
* Unicode and int objects are created with their memory filled with a pattern
|
|
to detect usage of uninitialized objects.
|
|
* Ensure that functions which can clear or replace the current exception are
|
|
not called with an exception raised.
|
|
* The garbage collector (:func:`gc.collect` function) runs some basic checks
|
|
on objects consistency.
|
|
* The :c:macro:`Py_SAFE_DOWNCAST()` macro checks for integer underflow and
|
|
overflow when downcasting from wide types to narrow types.
|
|
|
|
See also the :ref:`Python Development Mode <devmode>` and the
|
|
:option:`--with-trace-refs` configure option.
|
|
|
|
.. versionchanged:: 3.8
|
|
Release builds and debug builds are now ABI compatible: defining the
|
|
``Py_DEBUG`` macro no longer implies the ``Py_TRACE_REFS`` macro (see the
|
|
:option:`--with-trace-refs` option), which introduces the only ABI
|
|
incompatibility.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Debug options
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
.. cmdoption:: --with-pydebug
|
|
|
|
:ref:`Build Python in debug mode <debug-build>`: define the ``Py_DEBUG``
|
|
macro (disabled by default).
|
|
|
|
.. cmdoption:: --with-trace-refs
|
|
|
|
Enable tracing references for debugging purpose (disabled by default).
|
|
|
|
Effects:
|
|
|
|
* Define the ``Py_TRACE_REFS`` macro.
|
|
* Add :func:`sys.getobjects` function.
|
|
* Add :envvar:`PYTHONDUMPREFS` environment variable.
|
|
|
|
This build is not ABI compatible with release build (default build) or debug
|
|
build (``Py_DEBUG`` and ``Py_REF_DEBUG`` macros).
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 3.8

|
|
variable.
|
|
|
|
See also the :option:`--with-pydebug` option (:ref:`debug build
|
|
<debug-build>`) which also enables assertions.

Python Build System
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
Main files of the build system
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
* :file:`configure.ac` => :file:`configure`;
|
|
* :file:`Makefile.pre.in` => :file:`Makefile` (created by :file:`configure`);
|
|
* :file:`pyconfig.h` (created by :file:`configure`);
|
|
* :file:`Modules/Setup`: C extensions built by the Makefile using
|
|
:file:`Module/makesetup` shell script;
|
|
* :file:`setup.py`: C extensions built using the :mod:`distutils` module.
|
|
|
|
Main build steps
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
* C files (``.c``) are built as object files (``.o``).
|
|
* A static ``libpython`` library (``.a``) is created from objects files.
|
|
* ``python.o`` and the static ``libpython`` library are linked into the
|
|
final ``python`` program.
|
|
* C extensions are built by the Makefile (see :file:`Modules/Setup`)
|
|
and ``python setup.py build``.
|
|
|
|
Main Makefile targets
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
* ``make``: Build Python with the standard library.
|
|
* ``make platform:``: build the ``python`` program, but don't build the
|
|
standard library extension modules.
|
|
* ``make profile-opt``: build Python using Profile Guided Optimization (PGO).
|
|
You can use the configure :option:`--enable-optimizations` option to make
|
|
this the default target of the ``make`` command (``make all`` or just
|
|
``make``).
|
|
* ``make buildbottest``: Build Python and run the Python test suite, the same
|
|
way than buildbots test Python. Set ``TESTTIMEOUT`` variable (in seconds)
|
|
to change the test timeout (1200 by default: 20 minutes).
|
|
* ``make install``: Build and install Python.
|
|
* ``make regen-all``: Regenerate (almost) all generated files;
|
|
``make regen-stdlib-module-names`` and ``autoconf`` must be run separately
|
|
for the remaining generated files.
|
|
* ``make clean``: Remove built files.
|
|
* ``make distclean``: Same than ``make clean``, but remove also files created
|
|
by the configure script.
|
|
|
|
C extensions
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Some C extensions are built as built-in modules, like the ``sys`` module.
|
|
They are built with the ``Py_BUILD_CORE_BUILTIN`` macro defined.
|
|
Built-in modules have no ``__file__`` attribute::
|
|
|
|
>>> import sys
|
|
>>> sys
|
|
<module 'sys' (built-in)>
|
|
>>> sys.__file__
|
|
Traceback (most recent call last):
|
|
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
|
|
AttributeError: module 'sys' has no attribute '__file__'
|
|
|
|
Other C extensions are built as dynamic libraires, like the ``_asyncio`` module.
|
|
They are built with the ``Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE`` macro defined.
|
|
Example on Linux x86-64::
|
|
|
|
>>> import _asyncio
|
|
>>> _asyncio
|
|
<module '_asyncio' from '/usr/lib64/python3.9/lib-dynload/_asyncio.cpython-39-x86_64-linux-gnu.so'>
|
|
>>> _asyncio.__file__
|
|
'/usr/lib64/python3.9/lib-dynload/_asyncio.cpython-39-x86_64-linux-gnu.so'
|
|
|
|
:file:`Modules/Setup` is used to generate Makefile targets to build C extensions.
|
|
At the beginning of the files, C extensions are built as built-in modules.
|
|
Extensions defined after the ``*shared*`` marker are built as dynamic libraries.
|
|
|
|
The :file:`setup.py` script only builds C extensions as shared libraries using
|
|
the :mod:`distutils` module.
|
|
|
|
The :c:macro:`PyAPI_FUNC()`, :c:macro:`PyAPI_API()` and
|
|
:c:macro:`PyMODINIT_FUNC()` macros of :file:`Include/pyport.h` are defined
|
|
differently depending if the ``Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE`` macro is defined:
|
|
|
|
* Use ``Py_EXPORTED_SYMBOL`` if the ``Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE`` is defined
|
|
* Use ``Py_IMPORTED_SYMBOL`` otherwise.
|
|
|
|
If the ``Py_BUILD_CORE_BUILTIN`` macro is used by mistake on a C extension
|
|
built as a shared library, its ``PyInit_xxx()`` function is not exported,
|
|
causing an :exc:`ImportError` on import.

Compiler and linker flags
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|

|
|
``Makefile``.
