Quick Start Guide
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
|
||||
1. Install Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 with Python workload and
|
||||
Python native development component.
|
||||
1a. Optionally install Python 3.6 or later. If not installed,
|
||||
get_externals.bat (via build.bat) will download and use Python via
|
||||
NuGet.
|
||||
2. Run "build.bat" to build Python in 32-bit Release configuration.
|
||||
3. (Optional, but recommended) Run the test suite with "rt.bat -q".
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Building Python using Microsoft Visual C++
|
||||
------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
This directory is used to build CPython for Microsoft Windows NT version
|
||||
6.0 or higher (Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, or later) on 32 and 64
|
||||
bit platforms. Using this directory requires an installation of
|
||||
Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 (MSVC 14.1) with the *Python workload* and
|
||||
its optional *Python native development* component selected. (For
|
||||
command-line builds, Visual Studio 2015 may also be used.)
|
||||
|
||||
Building from the command line is recommended in order to obtain any
|
||||
external dependencies. To build, simply run the "build.bat" script without
|
||||
any arguments. After this succeeds, you can open the "pcbuild.sln"
|
||||
solution in Visual Studio to continue development.
|
||||
|
||||
To build an installer package, refer to the README in the Tools/msi folder.
|
||||
|
||||
The solution currently supports two platforms. The Win32 platform is
|
||||
used to build standard x86-compatible 32-bit binaries, output into the
|
||||
win32 sub-directory. The x64 platform is used for building 64-bit AMD64
|
||||
(aka x86_64 or EM64T) binaries, output into the amd64 sub-directory.
|
||||
The Itanium (IA-64) platform is no longer supported.
|
||||
|
||||
Four configuration options are supported by the solution:
|
||||
Debug
|
||||
Used to build Python with extra debugging capabilities, equivalent
|
||||
to using ./configure --with-pydebug on UNIX. All binaries built
|
||||
using this configuration have "_d" added to their name:
|
||||
python39_d.dll, python_d.exe, parser_d.pyd, and so on. Both the
|
||||
build and rt (run test) batch files in this directory accept a -d
|
||||
option for debug builds. If you are building Python to help with
|
||||
development of CPython, you will most likely use this configuration.
|
||||
PGInstrument, PGUpdate
|
||||
Used to build Python in Release configuration using PGO, which
|
||||
requires Premium Edition of Visual Studio. See the "Profile
|
||||
Guided Optimization" section below for more information. Build
|
||||
output from each of these configurations lands in its own
|
||||
sub-directory of this directory. The official Python releases may
|
||||
be built using these configurations.
|
||||
Release
|
||||
Used to build Python as it is meant to be used in production
|
||||
settings, though without PGO.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Building Python using the build.bat script
|
||||
----------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
In this directory you can find build.bat, a script designed to make
|
||||
building Python on Windows simpler. This script will use the env.bat
|
||||
script to detect either Visual Studio 2017 or 2015, either of
|
||||
which may be used to build Python. Currently Visual Studio 2017 is
|
||||
officially supported.
|
||||
|
||||
By default, build.bat will build Python in Release configuration for
|
||||
the 32-bit Win32 platform. It accepts several arguments to change
|
||||
this behavior, try `build.bat -h` to learn more.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
C Runtime
|
||||
---------
|
||||
|
||||
Visual Studio 2017 uses version 14.0 of the C runtime (vcruntime140).
|
||||
The executables no longer use the "Side by Side" assemblies used in
|
||||
previous versions of the compiler. This simplifies distribution of
|
||||
applications.
|
||||
|
||||
The run time libraries are available under the redist folder of your
|
||||
Visual Studio distribution. For more info, see the Readme in the
|
||||
redist folder.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Sub-Projects
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
The CPython project is split up into several smaller sub-projects which
|
||||
are managed by the pcbuild.sln solution file. Each sub-project is
|
||||
represented by a .vcxproj and a .vcxproj.filters file starting with the
|
||||
name of the sub-project. These sub-projects fall into a few general
|
||||
categories:
|
||||
|
||||
The following sub-projects represent the bare minimum required to build
|
||||
a functioning CPython interpreter. If nothing else builds but these,
|
||||
you'll have a very limited but usable python.exe:
|
||||
pythoncore
|
||||
.dll and .lib
|
||||
python
|
||||
.exe
|
||||
|
||||
These sub-projects provide extra executables that are useful for running
|
||||
CPython in different ways:
|
||||
pythonw
|
||||
pythonw.exe, a variant of python.exe that doesn't open a Command
|
||||
Prompt window
|
||||
pylauncher
|
||||
py.exe, the Python Launcher for Windows, see
|
||||
http://docs.python.org/3/using/windows.html#launcher
|
||||
pywlauncher
|
||||
pyw.exe, a variant of py.exe that doesn't open a Command Prompt
|
||||
window
|
||||
_testembed
|
||||
_testembed.exe, a small program that embeds Python for testing
|
||||
purposes, used by test_capi.py
|
||||
|
||||
These are miscellaneous sub-projects that don't really fit the other
|
||||
categories:
|
||||
_freeze_importlib
|
||||
_freeze_importlib.exe, used to regenerate Python\importlib.h after
|
||||
changes have been made to Lib\importlib\_bootstrap.py
|
||||
pyshellext
|
||||
pyshellext.dll, the shell extension deployed with the launcher
|
||||
python3dll
|
||||
python3.dll, the PEP 384 Stable ABI dll
|
||||
xxlimited
|
||||
builds an example module that makes use of the PEP 384 Stable ABI,
|
||||
see Modules\xxlimited.c
|
||||
|
||||
The following sub-projects are for individual modules of the standard
|
||||
library which are implemented in C; each one builds a DLL (renamed to
|
||||
.pyd) of the same name as the project:
|
||||
_asyncio
|
||||
_ctypes
|
||||
_ctypes_test
|
||||
_zoneinfo
|
||||
_decimal
|
||||
_elementtree
|
||||
_hashlib
|
||||
_msi
|
||||
_multiprocessing
|
||||
_overlapped
|
||||
_socket
|
||||
_testbuffer
|
||||
_testcapi
|
||||
_testconsole
|
||||
_testimportmultiple
|
||||
_testmultiphase
|
||||
_tkinter
|
||||
pyexpat
|
||||
select
|
||||
unicodedata
|
||||
winsound
|
||||
|
||||
The following Python-controlled sub-projects wrap external projects.
|
||||
Note that these external libraries are not necessary for a working
|
||||
interpreter, but they do implement several major features. See the
|
||||
"Getting External Sources" section below for additional information
|
||||
about getting the source for building these libraries. The sub-projects
|
||||
are:
|
||||
_bz2
|
||||
Python wrapper for version 1.0.6 of the libbzip2 compression library
|
||||
Homepage:
|
||||
http://www.bzip.org/
|
||||
_lzma
|
||||
Python wrapper for version 5.2.2 of the liblzma compression library
|
||||
Homepage:
|
||||
http://tukaani.org/xz/
|
||||
_ssl
|
||||
Python wrapper for version 1.1.1k of the OpenSSL secure sockets
|
||||
library, which is downloaded from our binaries repository at
|
||||
https://github.com/python/cpython-bin-deps.
|
||||
|
||||
Homepage:
|
||||
http://www.openssl.org/
|
||||
|
||||
Building OpenSSL requires Perl on your path, and can be performed by
|
||||
running PCbuild\prepare_ssl.bat. This will retrieve the version of
|
||||
the sources matched to the current commit from the OpenSSL branch
|
||||
in our source repository at
|
||||
https://github.com/python/cpython-source-deps.
|
||||
|
||||
To use an alternative build of OpenSSL completely, you should replace
|
||||
the files in the externals/openssl-bin-<version> folder with your own.
|
||||
As long as this folder exists, its contents will not be downloaded
|
||||
again when building.
|
||||
|
||||
_sqlite3
|
||||
Wraps SQLite 3.35.5, which is itself built by sqlite3.vcxproj
|
||||
Homepage:
|
||||
http://www.sqlite.org/
|
||||
_tkinter
|
||||
Wraps version 8.6.6 of the Tk windowing system, which is downloaded
|
||||
from our binaries repository at
|
||||
https://github.com/python/cpython-bin-deps.
|
||||
|
||||
Homepage:
|
||||
http://www.tcl.tk/
|
||||
|
||||
Building Tcl and Tk can be performed by running
|
||||
PCbuild\prepare_tcltk.bat. This will retrieve the version of the
|
||||
sources matched to the current commit from the Tcl and Tk branches
|
||||
in our source repository at
|
||||
https://github.com/python/cpython-source-deps.
|
||||
|
||||
The two projects install their respective components in a
|
||||
directory alongside the source directories called "tcltk" on
|
||||
Win32 and "tcltk64" on x64. They also copy the Tcl and Tk DLLs
|
||||
into the current output directory, which should ensure that Tkinter
|
||||
is able to load Tcl/Tk without having to change your PATH.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Getting External Sources
|
||||
------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The last category of sub-projects listed above wrap external projects
|
||||
Python doesn't control, and as such a little more work is required in
|
||||
order to download the relevant source files for each project before they
|
||||
can be built. However, a simple script is provided to make this as
|
||||
painless as possible, called "get_externals.bat" and located in this
|
||||
directory. This script extracts all the external sub-projects from
|
||||
https://github.com/python/cpython-source-deps
|
||||
and
|
||||
https://github.com/python/cpython-bin-deps
|
||||
via a Python script called "get_external.py", located in this directory.
|
||||
If Python 3.6 or later is not available via the "py.exe" launcher, the
|
||||
path or command to use for Python can be provided in the PYTHON_FOR_BUILD
|
||||
environment variable, or get_externals.bat will download the latest
|
||||
version of NuGet and use it to download the latest "pythonx86" package
|
||||
for use with get_external.py. Everything downloaded by these scripts is
|
||||
stored in ..\externals (relative to this directory).
|
||||
|
||||
It is also possible to download sources from each project's homepage,
|
||||
though you may have to change folder names or pass the names to MSBuild
|
||||
as the values of certain properties in order for the build solution to
|
||||
find them. This is an advanced topic and not necessarily fully
|
||||
supported.
|
||||
|
||||
The get_externals.bat script is called automatically by build.bat
|
||||
unless you pass the '-E' option.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Profile Guided Optimization
|
||||
---------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The solution has two configurations for PGO. The PGInstrument
|
||||
configuration must be built first. The PGInstrument binaries are linked
|
||||
against a profiling library and contain extra debug information. The
|
||||
PGUpdate configuration takes the profiling data and generates optimized
|
||||
binaries.
|
||||
|
||||
The build_pgo.bat script automates the creation of optimized binaries.
|
||||
It creates the PGI files, runs the unit test suite or PyBench with the
|
||||
PGI python, and finally creates the optimized files.
|
||||
|
||||
See
|
||||
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/e7k32f4k(VS.140).aspx
|
||||
for more on this topic.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Static library
|
||||
--------------
|
||||
|
||||
The solution has no configuration for static libraries. However it is
|
||||
easy to build a static library instead of a DLL. You simply have to set
|
||||
the "Configuration Type" to "Static Library (.lib)" and alter the
|
||||
preprocessor macro "Py_ENABLE_SHARED" to "Py_NO_ENABLE_SHARED". You may
|
||||
also have to change the "Runtime Library" from "Multi-threaded DLL
|
||||
(/MD)" to "Multi-threaded (/MT)".
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Visual Studio properties
|
||||
------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The PCbuild solution makes use of Visual Studio property files (*.props)
|
||||
to simplify each project. The properties can be viewed in the Property
|
||||
Manager (View -> Other Windows -> Property Manager) but should be
|
||||
carefully modified by hand.
|
||||
|
||||
The property files used are:
|
||||
* python (versions, directories and build names)
|
||||
* pyproject (base settings for all projects)
|
||||
* openssl (used by projects dependent upon OpenSSL)
|
||||
* tcltk (used by _tkinter, tcl, tk and tix projects)
|
||||
|
||||
The pyproject property file defines all of the build settings for each
|
||||
project, with some projects overriding certain specific values. The GUI
|
||||
doesn't always reflect the correct settings and may confuse the user
|
||||
with false information, especially for settings that automatically adapt
|
||||
for different configurations.
