shenleiandClaude Opus 5 5fad769ee8 port 2P step 1: vendor CPython 2.7.18 as the mtpython static library
The embedded 40250 script layer needs its own interpreter on five platforms.
2.7 is end-of-life, so nothing can be fetched from the target SDKs and the
source is vendored (official 2.7.18 tarball, trimmed to 25MB; Lib/ stays for
step 3's python27.zip).

cpython-2.7.18/CMakeLists.txt builds one `mtpython` static library from exactly
the 133 objects the reference libpython2.7.a contains, off by default behind
-DMTGODOT_EMBED_PYTHON=ON. The source list and the built-in module table
(config/config.c, 39 entries) are shared; pyconfig.h is a probe result and is
not, so each platform keeps its own under config/<platform>/, regenerated by
tools/py_embed/gen_pyconfig.sh and checked against the shared table.

Three vendor patches, documented in docs/THIRD-PARTY.md: configure/configure.ac
learn arm64 on macOS, and posixmodule.c undefines the process-control calls it
hard-defines past pyconfig.h when building for iOS.

macOS (ctest python.embed: every builtin imports, codecs and pickle work off the
vendored Lib/), Android arm64 and iOS arm64 build. Linux needs a Linux host and
Windows needs a MinGW-vs-MSVC decision; both are noted for step 4.

Python for BeOS R5
In Python-2.1, the standard version of the new setup.py program
will not build the full complement of modules on BeOS. Instead,
please replace it with the special BeOS version in Misc/BeOS-setup.py.
To build,
1) cp Misc/BeOS-setup.py setup.py
2) ./configure --prefix=/boot/home/config
3) make
The modules will all build, except termios which assumes some flags
we don't have. Put a libreadline.a in /boot/home/config/lib to get
a readline.so for your interactive editing convenience; NB, not
libreadline.so, you want to link a static readline library into the
dynamically loaded Python module.
Test:
make test
The BeOS is Not UNIX category:
- test_select crashed -- select.error : (-2147459072, 'Bad file descriptor')
- test_socket crashed -- exceptions.AttributeError : SOCK_RAW
- test_fcntl crashed -- exceptions.IOError: [Errno -2147483643] Invalid argument
This one is funny! BeOS does support large files, and that's why
we get this error: the file is too big for my filesystem!
- test_largefile crashed -- exceptions.IOError: [Errno -2147459065]
No space left on device
- test_pickle crashed. This is apparently a serious problem, "complex"
number objects reconstructed from a pickle don't compare equal to
their ancestors. But it happens on BeOS PPC only, not Intel.
Install:
make install
Maintainer: None (please volunteer if you would like to see this port continue
to exist!)
