Not able to run a tkinter program

And from `libx11`: ``` 11 will be built with the following settings: Loadable i18n module support: no Loadable xcursor library support: yes Threading support: yes Use Threads safe API: yes...

Not able to run a tkinter program

OK. We compile tk with `-DTCL_THREADS=1`. And we see some code in tk calling `XInitThreads()` (it is the only caller of `XInitThreads()` I found outside libX11 source, so I think...

Not able to run a tkinter program

Hmmm. `/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/tclConfig.sh` and `/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/tkConfig.sh` on my machine (Ubuntu 22.04) says we built with `TCL_THREADS=1`. I wonder why my machine's tk is working but this one isn't...

Undefined symbols when linking against libpython static library

This _might_ be a bug in our build system. The `libpython.a` static libraries may only have the libpython symbols and not all the other libraries that are linked into `libpython.dylib`....

Support isolated sub-interpreters in Python 3.10 build

This project simply invokes CPython's `configure` inside `cpython-unix/build-cpython.sh`. So if you want to pass `--with-experimental-isolated-subinterpreters`, you can modify the script locally to add that argument. As for Windows, you likely...

Kernel-dependent features like `os.pidfd_open()`

The way things currently work is that we build the CPython distributions against very old kernel headers and glibc to ensure maximum binary portability by targeting a very old, ~universally...

Suggestion: "Nightly" Builds

I'm supportive of this. But the main reason we don't have this is supporting the latest CPython branch tends to require a lot of code changes over the evolution of...

How to properly configure standalone build

No, you aren't missing something: many values in the `sysconfig` config file are nonsensical. The distributions _work_ for many run-time configurations. However, some power user features (such as building/installing extension...

pip install fail because of missing musl-clang

What wanted to execute `musl-clang`? If you compile musl libc with Clang, it will create a `musl-clang` script. I'm unsure why the Debian musl packages don't ship this wrapper. Maybe...

pip install fail because of missing musl-clang

The `musl-clang` and non-existent paths references are embedded within Python because Python embeds build system settings in itself (notably the `sysconfig` module). What's happening here is the Docker-based build environment...
