#16111 closed defect (fixed)

python25-2.5.2 builds differing dylib and framework libraries

Reported by: blb@… Owned by: mww@…

Component: ports Version: 1.7.0

Port: python25

Description

With the new framework build for python25, it installs both a ${prefix}/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Python and a ${prefix}/lib/libpython2.5.dylib. It turns out these two are incompatible with one another.

For example, if you install a module which includes a compiled component (eg, subversion-python25bindings has svn.fs, which is in _fs.so) and links against the Python.framework/.../Python, and something else compiled against /opt/local/lib/libpython2.5.dyllib (eg, ajp-wsgi), things will not go well. I see the error

Fatal Python error: Interpreter not initialized (version mismatch?)

when using ajp-wsgi to run Trac (which uses the afore-mentioned subversion-python25bindings).

I believe the proper solution is to build python25 like Apple builds python on the OS, namely, by simply symlinking what's in ${prefix}/lib to the Python.framework/.../Python file. Will attach a tarball which includes a Portfile diff and an updated files/patch-Makefile.pre.in.diff which accomplishes this. FYI, revision is 7 since I bumped it to 6 for the update in ticket #9831.

I adapted this behavior from the old python24 port, so I suppose this also applies to python24 and python30.

Replying to raimue@macports.org:

Most likely, not sure what kinds of changes could affect this for 2.6 and 3.0, but 2.4 I'm sure will need it as well. Fortunately, it isn't too big of a deal, as this removes all libpython.dylib building then just symlinks it instead. I just did 2.5 since that's what I use and it's the latest stable version of Python.

Keywords: python25 removed
Port: python25 added

Looks like the first set was a bit overzealous on creating ${prefix}/lib symlinks; attaching a new patch (rooted in dports/lang/python25) to update Portfile and files/patch-Makefile.pre.in.diff again, only creating libpython${branch}.dylib.

Ack, that last one isn't right either; the files/patch-Makefile.pre.in.diff is for #9831, this update actually removes the need for that diff at all (but #9831 needs a new one).
