Python Standalone Builds
3+
========================
4+
5+
This project contains code for building Python distributions that are
6+
self-contained and highly portable (the binaries can be executed
7+
on most target machines).
8+
9+
The intended audience of this project are people wanting to produce
10+
applications that embed Python in a larger executable. The artifacts
11+
that this project produces make it easier to build highly-portable
12+
applications containing Python.
13+
14+
Most consumers of this project can bypass the building of artifacts
15+
and consume the pre-built binaries produced from it.
16+
17+
Project Status
18+
==============
19+
20+
The project can be considered alpha quality. It is still in a heavy state
21+
of flux.
22+
23+
Currently, it produces a nearly full-featured CPython distribution for
24+
Linux that is fully statically linked with the exception of some very
25+
common system libraries.
26+
27+
Planned features include:
28+
29+
* Support for Windows
30+
* Support for macOS
31+
* Static/dynamic linking toggles for dependencies
32+
33+
Instructions
34+
============
35+
36+
To build a Python distribution for Linux x64::
37+
38+
$ ./build-linux.py
39+
40+
Requirements
41+
============
42+
43+
Linux
44+
-----
45+
46+
The host system must be 64-bit. A Python 3.5+ interpreter must be
47+
available. The execution environment must have access to a Docker
48+
daemon (all build operations are performed in Docker containers for
49+
isolation from the host system).
50+
51+
How It Works
52+
============
53+
54+
The first thing the ``build-*`` scripts do is bootstrap an environment
55+
for building Python. On Linux, a base Docker image based on a deterministic
56+
snapshot of Debian Wheezy is created. A modern binutils and GCC are built
57+
in this environment. That modern GCC is then used to build a modern Clang.
58+
Clang is then used to build all of Python's dependencies (openssl, ncurses,
59+
readline, sqlite, etc). Finally, Python itself is built.
60+
61+
Python is built in such a way that extensions are statically linked
62+
against their dependencies. e.g. instead of the ``sqlite3`` Python
63+
extension having a run-time dependency against ``libsqlite3.so``, the
64+
SQLite symbols are statically inlined into the Python extension object
65+
file.
66+
67+
From the built Python, we produce an archive containing the raw Python
68+
distribution (as if you had run ``make install``) as well as other files
69+
useful for downstream consumers.
70+
71+
Setup.local Hackery
72+
-------------------
73+
74+
Python's build system reads the ``Modules/Setup`` and ``Modules/Setup.local``
75+
files to influence how C extensions are built. By default, many extensions
76+
have no entry in these files and the ``setup.py`` script performs work
77+
to compile these extensions. (``setup.py`` looks for headers, libraries,
78+
etc, and sets up the proper compiler flags.)
79+
80+
``setup.py`` doesn't provide a lot of flexibility and relies on a lot
81+
of default behavior in ``distutils`` as well as other inline code in
82+
``setup.py``. This default behavior is often undesirable for our
83+
desired outcome of producing a standalone Python distribution.
84+
85+
Since the build environment is mostly deterministic and since we have
86+
special requirements, we generate a custom ``Setup.local`` file that
87+
builds C extensions in a specific manner. The undesirable behavior of
88+
``setup.py`` is bypassed and the Python C extensions are compiled just
89+
the way we want.
90+
91+
Linux Runtime Requirements
92+
==========================
93+
94+
The produced Linux binaries have minimal references to shared
95+
libraries and thus can be executed on most Linux systems.
96+
97+
The following shared libraries are referenced:
98+
99+
* linux-vdso.so.1
100+
* libpthread.so.0
101+
* libdl.so.2 (required by ctypes extension)
102+
* libutil.so.1
103+
* librt.so.1
104+
* libnsl.so.1 (required by nis extension)
105+
* libcrypt.so.1 (required by crypt extension)
106+
* libm.so.6
107+
* libc.so.6
108+
* ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
109+
110+
Licensing
111+
=========
112+
113+
Python and its various dependencies are governed by varied software use
114+
licenses. This impacts the rights and requirements of downstream consumers.
115+
116+
The ``python-licenses.rst`` file contained in this repository and produced
117+
artifacts summarizes the licenses of various components.
118+
119+
Most licenses are fairly permissive. Notable exceptions to this are GDBM and
120+
readline, which are both licensed under GPL Version 3.
121+
122+
**It is important to understand the licensing requirements when integrating
123+
the output of this project into derived works.**

This project builds CPython for Linux in a mostly deterministic and
2+
reproducible manner. The resulting Python build is mostly self-contained
3+
and the binaries are capable of running on many Linux distributions.
4+
5+
The produced binaries perform minimal loading of shared libraries.
6+
The required shared libraries are:
7+
8+
* linux-vdso.so.1
9+
* libpthread.so.0
10+
* libdl.so.2 (required by ctypes extension)
11+

* libm.so.6
16+
* libc.so.6
17+
* ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
18+
19+
These shared libraries should be present on most modern Linux distros.
