[jira] [Updated] (MINIFICPP-1902) Explore options to stabilize the python dependency of the scripting extension
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MINIFICPP-1902?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Marton Szasz updated MINIFICPP-1902:
------------------------------------
Description:
libpython changes its SONAME every minor version, making it impossible to distribute binaries that work across multiple python versions. The script extension depends on libpython through pybind11.
Python itself provides a stable API since 3.2, which is fairly old at this point: [https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/stable.html#c-api-stability]
Pybind11 and boost.python are both using API functions that are not part of the stable API: [https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/issues/1755]
There seems to be some activity on swig to support this stable API: [https://github.com/swig/swig/pull/2190]
TODO: explore options, so that binary distributions of the scripting extension are possible
