Can't build anything with pythonbrew on OS X 10.7 Lion about pythonbrew HOT 15 CLOSED

Try using --force when installing.

from pythonbrew.

So, are you saying that the error, or failed test, is harmless? I don't really want to force something that is going to cause me issues in the future, and be much harder to track down.

I also did a fresh OS X Lion install and doing pythonbrew install --force 2.7.2 worked for me. It still runs all the tests. You can see tail -f the build.log file to see if it installs with a failing test. Worst case scenario, if something really messes up, delete pythonbrew, update pythonbrew with the latest patches, or grab python sources from the site and install it that way.

I have the same issue. Freshly installed OS X Lion + XCode 4.1 + Pythonbrew 0.9. The build will only complete if I use --force, otherwise it will fail on some tests.

Which test fails for you guys? For me, it's test_dl. Guess it's force time.

from pythonbrew.

I ended up using --force for python 2.7.2 and that worked fine. --force for python 3 only sort of worked. There was an issue installing setuptools. I don't have more details at the moment, as I am travelling, but I'll try to post more information when I get back.

The following tests has failed for me on Lion: test_ctypes, test_platform

from pythonbrew.

Failing for me also.

from pythonbrew.

pythonbrew install 3.2.1 yields 4 failed tests:
test_ctypes test_dbm test_distutils test_platform

from pythonbrew.

Same issue here.
Added info to a Gist here: https://gist.github.com/1618234

from pythonbrew.

Obviously the test_platform is wrong.

        if sys.byteorder == 'little':
            self.assertEqual(res[2], 'i386')
        else:
            self.assertEqual(res[2], 'PowerPC')

The platform is listed as x86_64, so this is just a bad test.
The pythonbrew docs even show that this test is wrong.

It is possible to build a number of flavours of the universal binary build,
the default is a 32-bit only binary (i386 and ppc). The flavour can be
specified using the option ``--with-universal-archs=VALUE``. The following
values are available:
 * ``32-bit``:   ``ppc``, ``i386``
 * ``64-bit``:   ``ppc64``, ``x86_64``
 * ``all``:      ``ppc``, ``ppc64``, ``i386``, ``x86_64``
 * ``3-way``:    ``ppc``, ``i386`` and ``x86_64``
 * ``intel``:    ``i386``, ``x86_64``

There are also a few patches floating around the internet.
Here is one that explicitely fixes the test_platform error: http://mail.python.org/pipermail//python-checkins/2011-July/106590.html

and discussion on applying the patch here: http://bugs.python.org/issue12549

This test is... strange...

test_distutils
i686-apple-darwin11-llvm-gcc-4.2: /private/var/folders/bz/9564twzd2f95kgzvzvt1w1yr0000gn/T/tmpL4I5DR/foo.so: No such file or directory
test test_distutils failed -- Traceback (most recent call last):

The directories exist down to /T which does not have a /tmp subdirectory.

from pythonbrew.

The more I look at the logs, the more it looks like there are just bad tests in Python. The code built successfully, it's just the tests failing.
I think the best course of action is to just --force install it.
I'm curious to see if anything from this issue helps: #27

pythonbrew install 2.7.2
OS X 10.7.2
Xcode 4.2 upgraded from 4.1

from pythonbrew.

I upgraded to OS X 10.7.3 yesterday, through AppStore I installed XCode 4.3 (you need to start XCode which triggers the 'real' installer. However, pythonbrew install 2.7.2 was still not working.. so I learned about the trick that will do it (not sure about earlier versions of OSX/XCode though). you need to install the Command Line Tools for XCode then everything seems to work nicely. You can download them either on the http://developer.apple.com website or over the Downloads pane in XCode's preferences.

But the mentioned problem with the test cases remains but pythonbrew install --no-test 2.7.2 works.
