PEP: 720
Title: Cross-compiling Python packages
Author: Filipe Laíns <lains@riseup.net>
PEP-Delegate:
Status: Draft
Type: Informational
Content-Type: text/x-rst
Created: 01-Jul-2023
Python-Version: 3.12
Abstract
========
This PEP attempts to document the status of cross-compilation of downstream
projects.
It should give an overview of the approaches currently used by distributors
(Linux distros, WASM environment providers, etc.) to cross-compile downstream
projects (3rd party extensions, etc.).
Motivation
==========
We write this PEP to express the challenges in cross-compilation and act as a
supporting document in future improvement proposals.
Analysis
========
Introduction
------------
There are a couple different approaches being used to tackle this, with
different levels of interaction required from the user, but they all require a
significant amount of effort. This is due to the lack of standardized
cross-compilation infrastructure on the Python packaging ecosystem, which itself
stems from the complexity of cross-builds, making it a huge undertaking.
Upstream support
----------------
Some major projects like CPython, setuptools, etc. provide some support to help
with cross-compilation, but it's unofficial and at a best-effort basis. For
example, the ``sysconfig`` module allows overwriting the data module name via
the ``_PYTHON_SYSCONFIGDATA_NAME`` environment variable, something that is
required for cross-builds, and setuptools `accepts patches`__ [1]_ to tweak/fix
its logic to be compatible with popular `"environment faking"
<faking the target environment_>`_ workflows [2]_.
The lack of first-party support in upstream projects leads to cross-compilation
being fragile and requiring a significant effort from users, but at the same
time, the lack of standardization makes it harder for upstreams to improve
support as there's no clarity on how this feature should be provided.
.. [1] At the time of writing (Jun 2023), setuptools' compiler interface code,
the component that most of affects cross-compilation, is developed on the
`pypa/distutils`__ repository, which gets periodically synced to the
setuptools repository.
.. [2] We specifically mention *popular* workflows, because this is not
standardized. Though, many of the most popular implementations
(crossenv_, conda-forge_'s build system, etc.) work similarly, and this
is what we are referring to here. For clarity, the implementations we are
referring to here could be described as *crossenv-style*.

Projects with decent cross-build support
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It seems relevant to point out that there are a few modern Python package
build-backends with, at least, decent cross-compilation support, those being
scikit-build__ and meson-python__. Both these projects integrate external mature
build-systems into Python packaging — CMake__ and Meson__, respectively — so
cross-build support is inherited from them.

Downstream approaches
---------------------
Cross-compilation approaches fall in a spectrum that goes from, by design,
requiring extensive user interaction to (ideally) almost none. Usually, they'll
be based on one of two main strategies, using a `cross-build environment`_,
or `faking the target environment`_.
.. _approach-cross-environment:
Cross-build environment
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This consists of running the Python interpreter normally and utilizing the
cross-build provided by the projects' build-system. However, as we saw above,
upstream support is lacking, so this approach only works for a small-ish set of
projects. When this fails, the usual strategy is to patch the build-system code
to build use the correct toolchain, system details, etc. [3]_.
Since this approach often requires package-specific patching, it requires a lot
of user interaction.
.. admonition:: Examples
:class: note
`python-for-android`_, `kivy-ios`_, etc.
.. [3] The scope of the build-system patching varies between users and usually
depends on the their goal — some (eg. Linux distributions) may patch the
build-system to support cross-builds, while others might hardcode
compiler paths and system information in the build-system, to simply make
the build work.
Faking the target environment
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Aiming to drop the requirement for user input, a popular approach is trying to
fake the target environment. It generally consists of monkeypatching the Python
interpreter to get it to mimic the interpreter on the target system, which
constitutes of changing many of the ``sys`` module attributes, the ``sysconfig``
data, etc. Using this strategy, build-backends do not need to have any
cross-build support, and should just work without any code changes.
Unfortunately, though, it isn't possible to truly fake the target environment.
There are many reasons for this, one of the main ones being that it breaks code
that actually needs to introspect the running interpreter. As a result,
monkeypatching Python to look like target is very tricky — to achieve the less
amount of breakage, we can only patch certain aspects of the interpreter.
Consequently, build-backends may need some code changes, but these are generally
much smaller than the previous approach. This is an inherent limitation of the
technique, meaning this strategy still requires some user interaction.
Nonetheless, this strategy still works out-of-the-box with significantly more
projects than the approach above, and requires much less effort in these cases.
It is successful in decreasing the amount of user interaction needed, even
though it doesn't succeed in being generic.
.. admonition:: Examples
:class: note
`crossenv`_, `conda-forge`_, etc.
Environment introspection
-------------------------
As explained above, most build system code is written with the assumption that
the target system is the same as where the build is occurring, so introspection
is usually used to guide the build.
In this section, we try to document most of the ways this is accomplished. It
should give a decent overview of of environment details that are required by
build systems.

- Python distribution configuration variables. It includes a set of
variables [5]_ — like ``prefix``, ``exec_prefix``, etc. — based on the
running context [6]_, and may include some extra variables based on the
Python implementation and system.
In CPython and most other implementations that use the same
build-system, the "extra" variables mention above are: on POSIX, all
variables from the ``Makefile`` used to build the interpreter, and on
Windows, it usually only includes a small subset of the those [7]_ —
like ``EXT_SUFFIX``, ``BINDIR``, etc.
- This is implementation-defined, but it **usually** differs between
non-identical builds. Please refer to the
`sysconfig configuration variables`_ table for a overview of the different
configuration variable that are usually present.
.. [4] Ideally, you want to perform cross-builds with the same Python version
and implementation, however, this is often not the case. It should not
be very problematic as long as the major and minor versions don't
change.
.. [5] The set of config variables that will always be present mostly consists
of variables needed to calculate the installation scheme paths.
.. [6] The context we refer here consists of the "path initialization", which is
a process that happens in the interpreter startup and is responsible for
figuring out which environment it is being run — eg. global environment,
virtual environment, etc. — and setting ``sys.prefix`` and other
attributes accordingly.
.. [7] This is because Windows builds may not use the ``Makefile``, and instead
`use the Visual Studio build system`__. A subset of the most relevant
``Makefile`` variables is provided to make user code that uses them
simpler.

Relevant Information
--------------------
There are some bits of information required by build systems — eg. platform
particularities — scattered across many places, and it often is difficult to
identify code with assumptions based on them. In this section, we try to
document the most relevant cases.
When should extensions be linked against ``libpython``?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Short answer
Yes, on Windows. No on POSIX platforms, except Android, Cygwin, and other
Windows-based POSIX-like platforms.
When building extensions for dynamic loading, depending on the target platform,
they may need to be linked against ``libpython``.
On Windows, extensions need to link against ``libpython``, because all symbols
must be resolvable at link time. POSIX-like platforms based on Windows — like
Cygwin, MinGW, or MSYS — will also require linking against ``libpython``.
On most POSIX platforms, it is not necessary to link against ``libpython``, as
the symbols will already be available in the due to the interpreter — or, when
embedding, the executable/library in question — already linking to
``libpython``. Not linking an extension module against ``libpython`` will allow
it to be loaded by static Python builds, so when possible, it is desirable to do
so (see GH-65735__).
This might not be the case on all POSIX platforms, so make sure you check. One
example is Android, where only the main executable and ``LD_PRELOAD`` entries
are considered to be ``RTLD_GLOBAL`` (meaning dependencies are ``RTLD_LOCAL``)
[10]_, which causes the ``libpython`` symbols be unavailable when loading the
extension.
.. [10] Refer to `dlopen's man page`__ for more information.
.. __: https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/65735
.. __: https://man.archlinux.org/man/dlopen.3
What are ``prefix``, ``exec_prefix``, ``base_prefix``, and ``base_exec_prefix``?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
These are ``sys`` attributes `set in the Python initialization`__ that describe
the running environment. They refer to the prefix of directories where
installation/environment files are installed, according to the table below.
==================== ====================================== =================
Name Target files Environment Scope
==================== ====================================== =================
``prefix`` platform independent (eg. pure Python) site-specific
``exec_prefix`` platform dependent (eg. native code) site-specific
``base_prefix`` platform independent (eg. pure Python) installation-wide
``base_exec_prefix`` platform dependent (eg. native code) installation-wide
==================== ====================================== =================
Because the site-specific prefixes will be different inside virtual
environments, checking ``sys.prexix != sys.base_prefix`` is commonly used to
check if we are in a virtual environment.
