3. 配置 Python

3.1. 建置需求

Features and minimum versions required to build CPython:

• A C11 compiler. Optional C11 features are not required.

• 在 Windows 上需要 Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 或更新版本。

• Support for IEEE 754 floating-point numbers and floating-point Not-a-Number (NaN).

• thread 的支援。

• OpenSSL 1.1.1 is the minimum version and OpenSSL 3.0.9 is the recommended minimum version for the ssl and hashlib 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 1.16.5 are required to regenerate the configure script.

在 3.1 版的變更: Tcl/Tk version 8.3.1 is now required.

在 3.5 版的變更: On Windows, Visual Studio 2015 or later is now required. Tcl/Tk version 8.4 is now required.

在 3.6 版的變更: Selected C99 features are now required, like <stdint.h> and static inline functions.

在 3.7 版的變更: 對執行緒與 OpenSSL 1.0.2 的支援現在是必要的。

在 3.10 版的變更: OpenSSL 1.1.1 is now required. Require SQLite 3.7.15.

在 3.11 版的變更: 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.

在 3.13 版的變更: Autoconf 2.71, aclocal 1.16.5 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. 產生的檔案

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. 設定腳本

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.

3.3. 設定選項

List all configure script options using:

./configure --help

請見 Python 原始碼發行版中的 Misc/SpecialBuilds.txt。

3.3.1. 一般選項

在 3.11 版被加入.

--enable-pystats

Turn on internal Python performance statistics gathering.

By default, statistics gathering is off. Use python3 -X pystats command or set PYTHONSTATS=1 environment variable to turn on statistics gathering at Python startup.

At Python exit, dump statistics if statistics gathering was on and not cleared.

效果：

• Add -X pystats command line option.

• Add PYTHONSTATS environment variable.

• Define the Py_STATS macro.

• Add functions to the sys module:

  • sys._stats_on(): Turns on statistics gathering.

  • sys._stats_off(): Turns off statistics gathering.

  • sys._stats_clear(): Clears the statistics.

  • sys._stats_dump(): Dump statistics to file, and clears the statistics.

The statistics will be dumped to a arbitrary (probably unique) file in /tmp/py_stats/ (Unix) or C:\temp\py_stats\ (Windows). If that directory does not exist, results will be printed on stderr.

使用 Tools/scripts/summarize_stats.py 來讀取統計資料。

Statistics:

• Opcode:

  • Specialization: success, failure, hit, deferred, miss, deopt, failures;

  • Execution count;

  • Pair count.

• Call:

  • Inlined Python calls;

  • PyEval calls;

  • Frames pushed;

  • Frame object created;

  • Eval calls: vector, generator, legacy, function VECTORCALL, build class, slot, function "ex", API, method.

• 物件：

  • interpreter incref and decref;

  • allocations: all, 512 bytes, 4 kiB, big;

  • free;

  • to/from free lists;

  • dictionary materialized/dematerialized;

  • type cache;

  • optimization attempts;

  • optimization traces created/executed;

在 3.6 版被加入.

3.3.7. Performance options

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

Enable Profile Guided Optimization (PGO) using 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.

備註

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 to CFLAGS.

在 3.6 版被加入.

在 3.10 版的變更: 在 GCC 上使用 -fno-semantic-interposition。

PROFILE_TASK

Environment variable used in the Makefile: Python command line arguments for the PGO generation task.

預設值：-m test --pgo --timeout=$(TESTTIMEOUT)。

在 3.8 版被加入.

在 3.13 版的變更: Task failure is no longer ignored silently.

--with-lto=[full|thin|no|yes]

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).

在 3.6 版被加入.

在 3.11 版被加入: To use ThinLTO feature, use --with-lto=thin on Clang.

在 3.12 版的變更: 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 and merge-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 and BOLT_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.

在 3.12 版被加入.

BOLT_APPLY_FLAGS

Arguments to llvm-bolt when creating a BOLT optimized binary.

在 3.12 版被加入.

請見 PyDoc_STRVAR() 巨集。

--enable-profiling

Enable C-level code profiling with gprof (disabled by default).

--with-strict-overflow

Add -fstrict-overflow to the C compiler flags (by default we add -fno-strict-overflow instead).

3.3.8. Python Debug Build

A debug build is Python built with the --with-pydebug configure option.

Effects of a debug build:

• Display all warnings by default: the list of default warning filters is empty in the warnings module.

• 新增 d 到 sys.abiflags。

• 新增 sys.gettotalrefcount() 函式。

• 新增 -X showrefcount 命令列選項。

• Add -d command line option and PYTHONDEBUG environment variable to debug the parser.

• Add support for the __lltrace__ variable: enable low-level tracing in the bytecode evaluation loop if the variable is defined.

• Install debug hooks on memory allocators to detect buffer overflow and other memory errors.

• 定義 Py_DEBUG 和 Py_REF_DEBUG 巨集。

• 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 --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.

  • Check that deallocator functions don't change the current exception.

  • The garbage collector (gc.collect() function) runs some basic checks on objects consistency.

  • The Py_SAFE_DOWNCAST() macro checks for integer underflow and overflow when downcasting from wide types to narrow types.

See also the Python Development Mode and the --with-trace-refs configure option.

在 3.8 版的變更: Release builds and debug builds are now ABI compatible: defining the Py_DEBUG macro no longer implies the Py_TRACE_REFS macro (see the --with-trace-refs option).

3.3.9. Debug options

--with-pydebug

Build Python in debug mode: define the Py_DEBUG macro (disabled by default).

--with-trace-refs

Enable tracing references for debugging purpose (disabled by default).

效果：

• 定義 Py_TRACE_REFS 巨集。

• Add sys.getobjects() function.

• 新增 PYTHONDUMPREFS 環境變數。

The PYTHONDUMPREFS environment variable can be used to dump objects and reference counts still alive at Python exit.

Statically allocated objects are not traced.

    --host=aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu \
    --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 by configure);

• pyconfig.h (created by configure)；

• Modules/Setup: C extensions built by the Makefile using Module/makesetup shell script;

3.4.2. 主要建置步驟

• 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 Modules/Setup).

3.4.3. 主要 Makefile 目標

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 擴充模組

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

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:

• 如果定義了 Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE，則使用 Py_EXPORTED_SYMBOL

• 否則使用 Py_IMPORTED_SYMBOL。

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.

在 3.6 版被加入.

CPPFLAGS

(Objective) C/C++ preprocessor flags, e.g. -Iinclude_dir if you have headers in a nonstandard directory include_dir.

Both CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS need to contain the shell's value to be able to build extension modules using the directories specified in the environment variables.

BASECPPFLAGS

在 3.4 版被加入.

PY_CPPFLAGS

Extra preprocessor flags added for building the interpreter object files.

Default: $(BASECPPFLAGS) -I. -I$(srcdir)/Include $(CONFIGURE_CPPFLAGS) $(CPPFLAGS).

在 3.2 版被加入.

3.5.2. 編譯器旗標

CC

C 編譯器指令。

Example: gcc -pthread.

CXX

C++ 編譯器指令。

範例：g++ -pthread。

CFLAGS

C 編譯器旗標。

CFLAGS_NODIST

CFLAGS_NODIST is used for building the interpreter and stdlib C extensions. Use it when a compiler flag should not be part of CFLAGS 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 in CFLAGS 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.

COMPILEALL_OPTS

Options passed to the compileall command line when building PYC files in make install. Default: -j0.

在 3.12 版被加入.

EXTRA_CFLAGS

額外的 C 編譯器旗標。

CONFIGURE_CFLAGS

Value of CFLAGS variable passed to the ./configure script.

在 3.2 版被加入.

CONFIGURE_CFLAGS_NODIST

Value of CFLAGS_NODIST variable passed to the ./configure script.

在 3.5 版被加入.

BASECFLAGS

基本編譯器旗標。

OPT

最佳化旗標。

CFLAGS_ALIASING

Strict or non-strict aliasing flags used to compile Python/dtoa.c.

在 3.7 版被加入.

CCSHARED

Compiler flags used to build a shared library.

例如說 -fPIC 被使用於 Linux 與 BSD 上。

CFLAGSFORSHARED

Extra C flags added for building the interpreter object files.

Default: $(CCSHARED) when --enable-shared is used, or an empty string otherwise.

PY_CFLAGS

Default: $(BASECFLAGS) $(OPT) $(CONFIGURE_CFLAGS) $(CFLAGS) $(EXTRA_CFLAGS).

PY_CFLAGS_NODIST

Default: $(CONFIGURE_CFLAGS_NODIST) $(CFLAGS_NODIST) -I$(srcdir)/Include/internal.

在 3.5 版被加入.

PY_STDMODULE_CFLAGS

C flags used for building the interpreter object files.

Default: $(PY_CFLAGS) $(PY_CFLAGS_NODIST) $(PY_CPPFLAGS) $(CFLAGSFORSHARED).

在 3.7 版被加入.

PY_CORE_CFLAGS

Default: $(PY_STDMODULE_CFLAGS) -DPy_BUILD_CORE.

在 3.2 版被加入.

PY_BUILTIN_MODULE_CFLAGS

Compiler flags to build a standard library extension module as a built-in module, like the posix module.

Default: $(PY_STDMODULE_CFLAGS) -DPy_BUILD_CORE_BUILTIN.

在 3.8 版被加入.

PURIFY

Purify command. Purify is a memory debugger program.

Default: empty string (not used).

3.5.3. Linker flags

LINKCC

Linker command used to build programs like python and _testembed.

Default: $(PURIFY) $(CC).

CONFIGURE_LDFLAGS

Value of LDFLAGS variable passed to the ./configure script.

Avoid assigning CFLAGS, LDFLAGS, etc. so users can use them on the command line to append to these values without stomping the pre-set values.

在 3.2 版被加入.

LDFLAGS_NODIST

LDFLAGS_NODIST is used in the same manner as CFLAGS_NODIST. Use it when a linker flag should not be part of LDFLAGS 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 in LDFLAGS would take precedence over user- and package-supplied -L flags.

CONFIGURE_LDFLAGS_NODIST

Value of LDFLAGS_NODIST variable passed to the ./configure script.

在 3.8 版被加入.

LDFLAGS

Linker flags, e.g. -Llib_dir if you have libraries in a nonstandard directory lib_dir.

Both CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS need to contain the shell's value to be able to build extension modules using the directories specified in the environment variables.

LIBS

Linker flags to pass libraries to the linker when linking the Python executable.

範例：-lrt。

LDSHARED

Command to build a shared library.

預設值：@LDSHARED@ $(PY_LDFLAGS)。

BLDSHARED

Command to build libpython shared library.

預設值：@BLDSHARED@ $(PY_CORE_LDFLAGS)。

PY_LDFLAGS

預設值：$(CONFIGURE_LDFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS)。

PY_LDFLAGS_NODIST

預設值：$(CONFIGURE_LDFLAGS_NODIST) $(LDFLAGS_NODIST)。

在 3.8 版被加入.

PY_CORE_LDFLAGS

Linker flags used for building the interpreter object files.

在 3.8 版被加入.

git clean -fdx is an even more extreme way to "clean" your checkout. It removes all files not known to Git. When bug hunting using git bisect, this is recommended between probes to guarantee a completely clean build. Use with care, as it will delete all files not checked into Git, including your new, uncommitted work.
