In certain situations, file references (.py[co]) for Python files that
fail to compile with compileall() are still added to distutils --record
output.
This output is used for pkg-plist generation and must only contain
references to files that will be installed.
One example of a failure condition is when a Python 2/3 compatible
package containing a file containing Python 3.x only code is built with
Python 2.x, such as Gunicorn's _gaiohttp.py [1]
This change backports patches submitted against upstream issue 20397 [2]
that has not yet been committed.
- For Python 2.7 and 3.5, backport both install_lib and test
- For Python 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4, only backport install_lib

In Python 3.4+, upstream added and switched to using a shell
implementation of the python-config script [1]. The Python
implementation (python-config.py) remained used by all versions < 3.4.
While the shell implementation returns the path to the Python
shared library when using the --ldflags script argument, the Python
implementation of the script does not. The bug has been reported, but
has not yet been merged [2].
The Python ports currently default to including ${LOCALBASE}/lib
in LIBS when the NLS option is enabled (which it is by default).
When built *with* NLS (gettext) support, the flags added to LIBS
are returned in `pythonX.Y-config --ldflags` output, which happens
to match the path to the Python shared library.
If the NLS option is disabled, ${LOCALBASE}/lib is not added to LIBS,
and are therefore not returned in --ldflags output.
This results in potential linking errors for software that uses
python-config to obtain the correct library path, when the NLS option is
disabled:
$ make WITH=PYTHON -C audio/alsa-lib
[...]
--- smixer-python.la ---
CCLD smixer-python.la
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpython2.7
This change modifies the python-config.in script to match the shell
implementation, outputting the library path in --ldflags output.
While I'm here:
for Python 3.2 and Python 3.3 ports, backport a library order

Backport fix for upstream Issue #21166:
Prevent possible segfaults and other random failures of python
--generate-posix-vars in pybuilddir.txt build target by ensuring
that pybuilddir.txt is always regenerated when configure is run and
that the newly built skeleton python does not inadvertently import
modules from previously installed instances. [1]
This changeset has been committed for release in 2.7.9, 3.4.2, and 3.5.0.
A HUGE thank you to Ned Deily from the Python Core Development Team
for helping to identify the underlying cause, produce a fix and
wonderfully document the explanation.

preparatory step to convert bsd.python.mk into a USES file.
- Remove the shared/static build separation, which is the source of many
problems and even more hacks. Instead build only the shared version, which
greatly simplifies the build.
- Use NLS_LIBS instead of NLS_LDFLAGS as done for lang/python27 (r357486)
- Remove the FPECTL option to align the build with the clean "template" from
lang/python34.
- Remove PORTDATA and EXAMPLES. Those will be made available via separate
ports.
- Add a new DEBUG option to enable debug builds as for lang/python34.
- Add a new TSC option for precise timestamp counter support as for
lang/python34.
- Reactivate curses/ncurses support.
- Use buildbottest in the regression-test: target.

Copy the second part of a change previously made to python27 [1], to
python31, python32 and python33.
This fixes staging and packaging of these ports by a non-root user by
running ranlib on the archive prior to it being installed read-only.

Copy change committed to python27 [1] to python31, python32 and

Also add breadcrumbs to the patch header in lang/python27 referencing

A vulnerability was reported [1] in Python's socket module, due to a
boundary error within the sock_recvfrom_into() function, which could be
exploited to cause a buffer overflow.
This could be used to crash a Python application that uses the
socket.recvfrom_info() function or, possibly, execute arbitrary code
with the permissions of the user running vulnerable Python code.
This vulnerable function, socket.recvfrom_into(), was introduced in
Python 2.5. Earlier versions are not affected by this flaw. This is
fixed in upstream branches for version 2.7, 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3.

The current FreeBSD/ARM __clear_cache() implementation does nothing #if
__i386__ || __x86_64__ #else abort();
cognet@ advises this is an issue for anything !Apple that is using the
libcompiler_rt provided by Clang on ARM, and requires upstreaming.
This is the root cause of abort() on import for the ctypes module in
Python, as they bundle libffi. [1]
This change patches the bundled libffi library in all Python ports, even
though it is a NOOP for the ports that use devel/libffi. These ports,
currently python31, will get the fix via ports/184517
A huge shout out to cognet@ who helped diagnose the issue and created
the patch to address it. Thank you!
