Activitytiran commented on Dec 1, 2021 bpo-45696 introduced a _bootstrap_python interpreter, which was used to create frozen and deepfrozen module files. bpo-45873 dropped the _bootstrap_python interpreter again. Instead Python used an existing Python installation to bootstrap the build.
After some internal discussion we agreed that the approach is flawed and puts too much of a burden on users. Users have to install a fairly recent Python interpreter in order to build 3.11. This makes it harder to build Python on platforms with no or a too old Python version. It also complicated things for container builds and pyenv.
Let's re-introduce a _bootstrap_python interpreter. Cross compiling will still require a build Python interpreter. tiran commented on Dec 3, 2021 ned-deily commented on Dec 6, 2021 Framework builds on macOS now fail with a bus error when trying to run the newly built _bootstrap_python. A simplified example:

$ --enable-framework causes a number of changes in interpreter building and initialization. Since, as it stands, _bootstrap_python executable isn't and doesn't need to be built as a framework, there is probably some path confusion in getpath.c or elsewhere.
Prior to these changes (at 3.11.0a2 at least), it was still possible to run a framework build executable in the build directory through some careful use of build variables in Makefile (like how "make test" works). Without delving deeper into it at the moment, I'm not sure what to suggest. It may be simpler to just do a clean separate non-framework build to provide _bootstrap_python. And/or possibly re-allow the use of --with-build-python to specify a user-supplied build python. I wonder if there are certain configurations on other platforms where there might be similar problems with the current approach.
I'm marking this as a "release blocker" since it is preventing building the usual python.org macOS binary installer for 3.11.0a3. Since it is still early in the release cycle for 3.11, the release manager might reasonably decide to not delay the release for a fix and thus skip having a macOS installer for a3. tiran commented on Dec 6, 2021 Ned, does this change solve the issue with framework builds?

Ned, does this change solve the issue with framework builds?
No. I would guess at a minimum getpath.c for _bootstrap_python might need to be built without WITH_NEXT_FRAMEWORK defined. But I'm out of time for today and don't expect to have much time available in the immediate future. tiran commented on Dec 6, 2021 tiran commented on Dec 6, 2021 Ned, I have implemented a fix for _bootstrap_python for framework builds and re-enabled --with-build-python for all builds. Previously I disabled the option for standard builds, because --with-build-python can cause build issues when a user runs ./configure --with-build-python with an older 3.11 alpha build. ned-deily commented on Dec 7, 2021 I've now verified that the _bootstrap_python fix for framework builds works - removing "release blocker" status. Thanks, Christian! kumaraditya303 commented on May 9, 2022 The issue has been fixed, I am closing the issue.
