Missing _testcapi #202

Open Super99Master opened 6 months ago

Super99Master commented 6 months ago

Is build/run_tests.py reliable?

i keep getting "No module named '_testcapi'"

Tested with version: 3.9.16 | cpython-3.9.16+20230507-x86_64_v2-unknown-linux-gnu-debug-full 3.9.17 | cpython-3.9.17+20230726-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-pgo+lto-full 3.9.18 | cpython-3.9.18+20231002-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-pgo+lto-full 3.11.6 | cpython-3.11.6+20231002-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-pgo+lto-full 3.12.0 | cpython-3.12.0+20231002-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-pgo+lto-full | cpython-3.12.0+20231002-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-debug-full

15 is the only issue with _testcapi but doesn't look like it has a solution

build/run_tests.py does have some expected failures because our build methodology is different from official builds. I just haven't put in effort to patch failing tests or send workarounds upstream.

_testcapi is disabled because it is only used for tests and doesn't play well with our extensions are static philosophy. I can't remember details other than I believe it has been disabled for ages because of the hardship it creates.
