3. Configurer Python¶
3.1. Build Requirements¶
Features and minimum versions required to build CPython:
A C11 compiler. Optional C11 features are not required.
On Windows, Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 or later is required.
Support for IEEE 754 floating-point numbers and floating-point Not-a-Number (NaN).
Support for threads.
OpenSSL 1.1.1 is the minimum version and OpenSSL 3.0.9 is the recommended minimum version for the
ssl
andhashlib
extension modules.SQLite 3.15.2 for the
sqlite3
extension module.Tcl/Tk 8.5.12 for the
tkinter
module.Autoconf 2.71 and aclocal 1.16.4 are required to regenerate the
configure
script.
Modifié dans la version 3.1: Tcl/Tk version 8.3.1 is now required.
Modifié dans la version 3.5: On Windows, Visual Studio 2015 or later is now required. Tcl/Tk version 8.4 is now required.
Modifié dans la version 3.6: Selected C99 features are now required, like <stdint.h>
and static
inline
functions.
Modifié dans la version 3.7: Thread support and OpenSSL 1.0.2 are now required.
Modifié dans la version 3.10: OpenSSL 1.1.1 is now required. Require SQLite 3.7.15.
Modifié dans la version 3.11: C11 compiler, IEEE 754 and NaN support are now required.
On Windows, Visual Studio 2017 or later is required.
Tcl/Tk version 8.5.12 is now required for the tkinter
module.
Modifié dans la version 3.13: Autoconf 2.71, aclocal 1.16.4 and SQLite 3.15.2 are now required.
See also PEP 7 "Style Guide for C Code" and PEP 11 "CPython platform support".
3.2. Generated files¶
To reduce build dependencies, Python source code contains multiple generated files. Commands to regenerate all generated files:
make regen-all
make regen-stdlib-module-names
make regen-limited-abi
make regen-configure
The Makefile.pre.in
file documents generated files, their inputs, and tools used
to regenerate them. Search for regen-*
make targets.
3.2.1. configure script¶
The make regen-configure
command regenerates the aclocal.m4
file and
the configure
script using the Tools/build/regen-configure.sh
shell
script which uses an Ubuntu container to get the same tools versions and have a
reproducible output.
The container is optional, the following command can be run locally:
autoreconf -ivf -Werror
The generated files can change depending on the exact autoconf-archive
,
aclocal
and pkg-config
versions.

Ajouté dans la version 3.6.
3.3.7. Options de performance¶
Configuring Python using --enable-optimizations --with-lto
(PGO + LTO) is
recommended for best performance. The experimental --enable-bolt
flag can
also be used to improve performance.
- --enable-optimizations¶
Active l'optimisation guidée par profilage (Profile Guided Optimization, PGO) en utilisant
PROFILE_TASK
(désactivé par défaut).L'utilisation de PGO avec le compilateur C Clang nécessite
llvm-profdata
. Sur macOS, GCC est juste un alias vers Clang et partage donc cette contrainte.Désactive également l'interposition sémantique dans libpython si GCC est utilisé avec
--enable-shared
: ajoute l'option-fno-semantic-interposition
à la compilation et à l'édition des liens.Note
During the build, you may encounter compiler warnings about profile data not being available for some source files. These warnings are harmless, as only a subset of the code is exercised during profile data acquisition. To disable these warnings on Clang, manually suppress them by adding
-Wno-profile-instr-unprofiled
toCFLAGS
.Ajouté dans la version 3.6.
Modifié dans la version 3.10: Utilisation de
-fno-semantic-interposition
avec GCC.
- PROFILE_TASK¶
Variable d'environnement utilisée dans le
Makefile
: arguments Python utilisés pour la tâche de préparation de la PGO.Par défaut :
-m test --pgo --timeout=$(TESTTIMEOUT)
.Ajouté dans la version 3.8.
Modifié dans la version 3.13: Task failure is no longer ignored silently.
- --with-lto=[full|thin|no|yes]¶
Active l'optimisation à l'édition des liens (Link Time Optimization, LTO) à la compilation (désactivé par défaut).
Le compilateur C Clang nécessite
llvm-ar
pour la LTO (ar
sur macOS), ainsi qu'un éditeur de liens implémentant la LTO (ld.gold
oulld
).Ajouté dans la version 3.6.
Ajouté dans la version 3.11: Pour avoir la fonctionnalité ThinLTO, utilisez
--with-lto=thin
avec Clang.Modifié dans la version 3.12: Use ThinLTO as the default optimization policy on Clang if the compiler accepts the flag.
- --enable-bolt¶
Enable usage of the BOLT post-link binary optimizer (disabled by default).
BOLT is part of the LLVM project but is not always included in their binary distributions. This flag requires that
llvm-bolt
andmerge-fdata
are available.BOLT is still a fairly new project so this flag should be considered experimental for now. Because this tool operates on machine code its success is dependent on a combination of the build environment + the other optimization configure args + the CPU architecture, and not all combinations are supported. BOLT versions before LLVM 16 are known to crash BOLT under some scenarios. Use of LLVM 16 or newer for BOLT optimization is strongly encouraged.
The
BOLT_INSTRUMENT_FLAGS
andBOLT_APPLY_FLAGS
configure variables can be defined to override the default set of arguments for llvm-bolt to instrument and apply BOLT data to binaries, respectively.Ajouté dans la version 3.12.
- BOLT_APPLY_FLAGS¶
Arguments to
llvm-bolt
when creating a BOLT optimized binary.Ajouté dans la version 3.12.

Désactive les chaînes de documentation statiques pour réduire l'empreinte mémoire (activé par défaut). Les chaînes définies dans Python ne sont pas affectées.
Ne définit pas la macro
WITH_DOC_STRINGS
.Voir la macro
PyDoc_STRVAR()
.
- --enable-profiling¶
Active le profilage du code C avec
gprof
(désactivé par défaut).
- --with-strict-overflow¶
Add
-fstrict-overflow
to the C compiler flags (by default we add-fno-strict-overflow
instead).

--with-build-python=../x86_64/python
3.4. Python Build System¶
3.4.1. Main files of the build system¶
configure.ac
=>configure
;Makefile.pre.in
=>Makefile
(created byconfigure
);pyconfig.h
(created byconfigure
);Modules/Setup
: C extensions built by the Makefile usingModule/makesetup
shell script;
3.4.2. 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 staticlibpython
library are linked into the finalpython
program.C extensions are built by the Makefile (see
Modules/Setup
).
3.4.3. Main Makefile targets¶
3.4.3.1. make¶
For the most part, when rebuilding after editing some code or
refreshing your checkout from upstream, all you need to do is execute
make
, which (per Make's semantics) builds the default target, the
first one defined in the Makefile. By tradition (including in the
CPython project) this is usually the all
target. The
configure
script expands an autoconf
variable,
@DEF_MAKE_ALL_RULE@
to describe precisely which targets make
all
will build. The three choices are:
profile-opt
(configured with--enable-optimizations
)build_wasm
(configured with--with-emscripten-target
)build_all
(configured without explicitly using either of the others)
Depending on the most recent source file changes, Make will rebuild
any targets (object files and executables) deemed out-of-date,
including running configure
again if necessary. Source/target
dependencies are many and maintained manually however, so Make
sometimes doesn't have all the information necessary to correctly
detect all targets which need to be rebuilt. Depending on which
targets aren't rebuilt, you might experience a number of problems. If
you have build or test problems which you can't otherwise explain,
make clean && make
should work around most dependency problems, at
the expense of longer build times.
3.4.3.2. make platform¶
Build the python
program, but don't build the standard library
extension modules. This generates a file named platform
which
contains a single line describing the details of the build platform,
e.g., macosx-14.3-arm64-3.12
or linux-x86_64-3.13
.
3.4.3.3. make profile-opt¶
Build Python using profile-guided optimization (PGO). You can use the
configure --enable-optimizations
option to make this the
default target of the make
command (make all
or just
make
).
3.4.3.4. make clean¶
Remove built files.
3.4.3.5. make distclean¶
In addition to the work done by make clean
, remove files
created by the configure script. configure
will have to be run
before building again. [1]
3.4.3.6. make install¶
Build the all
target and install Python.
3.4.3.7. make test¶
Build the all
target and run the Python test suite with the
--fast-ci
option. Variables:
TESTOPTS
: additional regrtest command-line options.TESTPYTHONOPTS
: additional Python command-line options.TESTTIMEOUT
: timeout in seconds (default: 10 minutes).
3.4.3.8. make buildbottest¶
This is similar to make test
, but uses the --slow-ci
option and default timeout of 20 minutes, instead of --fast-ci
option.
3.4.3.9. make regen-all¶
Regenerate (almost) all generated files. These include (but are not
limited to) bytecode cases, and parser generator file.
make regen-stdlib-module-names
and autoconf
must be run
separately for the remaining generated files.
3.4.4. 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 libraries, 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'
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 PyAPI_FUNC()
, PyAPI_DATA()
and
PyMODINIT_FUNC
macros of Include/exports.h
are defined
differently depending if the Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE
macro is defined:
Use
Py_EXPORTED_SYMBOL
if thePy_BUILD_CORE_MODULE
is definedUse
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 ImportError
on import.
3.5. Compiler and linker flags¶
Options set by the ./configure
script and environment variables and used by
Makefile
.
3.5.1. Preprocessor flags¶
- CONFIGURE_CPPFLAGS¶
Value of
CPPFLAGS
variable passed to the./configure
script.Ajouté dans la version 3.6.
- CPPFLAGS¶
(Objective) C/C++ preprocessor flags, e.g.
-Iinclude_dir
if you have headers in a nonstandard directory include_dir.Both
CPPFLAGS
andLDFLAGS
need to contain the shell's value to be able to build extension modules using the directories specified in the environment variables.
- BASECPPFLAGS¶
Ajouté dans la version 3.4.
- PY_CPPFLAGS¶
Extra preprocessor flags added for building the interpreter object files.
Default:
$(BASECPPFLAGS) -I. -I$(srcdir)/Include $(CONFIGURE_CPPFLAGS) $(CPPFLAGS)
.Ajouté dans la version 3.2.
3.5.2. Compiler flags¶
- CC¶
C compiler command.
Example:
gcc -pthread
.
- CXX¶
C++ compiler command.
Example:
g++ -pthread
.
- CFLAGS¶
C compiler flags.
- CFLAGS_NODIST¶
CFLAGS_NODIST
is used for building the interpreter and stdlib C extensions. Use it when a compiler flag should not be part ofCFLAGS
once Python is installed (gh-65320).In particular,
CFLAGS
should not contain:the compiler flag
-I
(for setting the search path for include files). The-I
flags are processed from left to right, and any flags inCFLAGS
would take precedence over user- and package-supplied-I
flags.hardening flags such as
-Werror
because distributions cannot control whether packages installed by users conform to such heightened standards.
Ajouté dans la version 3.5.
- COMPILEALL_OPTS¶
Options passed to the
compileall
command line when building PYC files inmake install
. Default:-j0
.Ajouté dans la version 3.12.

Extra C compiler flags.
- CONFIGURE_CFLAGS¶
Value of
CFLAGS
variable passed to the./configure
script.Ajouté dans la version 3.2.
- CONFIGURE_CFLAGS_NODIST¶
Value of
CFLAGS_NODIST
variable passed to the./configure
script.Ajouté dans la version 3.5.
- BASECFLAGS¶

For example,
-fPIC
is used on Linux and on BSD.
- CFLAGSFORSHARED¶
Extra C flags added for building the interpreter object files.

- LDFLAGS_NODIST¶
LDFLAGS_NODIST
is used in the same manner asCFLAGS_NODIST
. Use it when a linker flag should not be part ofLDFLAGS
once Python is installed (gh-65320).In particular,
LDFLAGS
should not contain:the compiler flag
-L
(for setting the search path for libraries). The-L
flags are processed from left to right, and any flags inLDFLAGS
would take precedence over user- and package-supplied-L
flags.

Value of
LDFLAGS_NODIST
variable passed to the./configure
script.Ajouté dans la version 3.8.
- LDFLAGS¶
Linker flags, e.g.
