Author Topic: Pyinstaller issue with Python3.6 deployed via AIXTOOLs (Read 3427 times)

Aixtools deployment of Python3.6 seemed normal as did the subsequent install and update of pip3.6. The install of pyinstaller via pip3.6 was problematic in that the wscript was not correct for AIX using the native AIX compiler when constructing the bootloader. Pyinstaller subsequently was installed correctly and appears to work:

however, when executing the IPP-Testing program:

# ./IPP_Testing
[4915392] Error loading Python lib '/tmp/_MEI_it7ea/libpython3.6.a(libpython3.6.so)': dlopen: 0509-022 Cannot load module /tmp/_MEI_it7ea/libpython3.6.a(libpython3.6.so).
0509-152 Member libpython3.6.so is not found in archive

The /opt/lib library contains:

drwxr-xr-x 35 bin bin 8192 Apr 26 08:52 python3.6

i added the softlink to the archive. There is no libpython.3.6m.so (or libpython3.6m.so) and the libpython3.6m.a does not contain a libpython shared object.

I was wondering why Pyinstaller would have a dependency on libpython3.6.so when ldd does not report it:

# ldd IPP_Testing
IPP_Testing needs:
/usr/lib/libdl.a(shr_64.o)
/usr/lib/libpthreads.a(shr_xpg5_64.o)
/usr/lib/libc.a(shr_64.o)
/unix
/usr/lib/libcrypt.a(shr_64.o)

The run and run_d bootloader components also do not reference any libpython sharded object.

any ideas would be appreciated.

I'll take a look. Never used pyinstaller before.

Just checking:
a) you are using the IBM compiler (xlc)
b) IPP_testing.py is part of the pyinstaller package.

Michael · « **Reply #2 on:** May 01, 2019, 12:48:48 PM »

OK. I expect it will be something specific with the PyInstaller package, and/or an issue with the way Lib/ctypes is used.

I'll have to try a manual build - as I guess you did - to understand the issue.

For record keeping - a summary of actions.

So, even though there is a newer version of setuptools - at this point it is not needed.

Pyinstaller subsequently was installed correctly and appears to work:

I am having some issues with getting wscript 'patched', so I still do not get boatloader built/installed.

The run and run_d bootloader components also do not reference any libpython sharded object.

any ideas would be appreciated.

Look in code for calls to "dlopen", as it states in the bootloader/wscript for AIX this needs to be in the form:

+550 elif ctx.env.DEST_OS == 'aix':
+551 ctx.env.append_value('DEFINES', 'AIX')
+552 # On AIX some APIs are restricted if _ALL_SOURCE is not defined.
+553 # In the case of PyInstaller, we need the AIX specific flag RTLD_MEMBER
+554 # for dlopen() which is used to load a shared object from a library
+555 # archive. We need to load the Python library like this:
+556 # dlopen("libpython2.7.a(libpython2.7.so)", RTLD_MEMBER)
+557 ctx.env.append_value('DEFINES', '_ALL_SOURCE')

I actually have a patch added to this, to fix the issue that ctypes.find_library never worked.

To disable this patch just comment the following lines:

+83 # elif sys.platform.startswith("aix"):
+84 # AIX has two styles of storing shared libraries
+85 # GNU auto_tools refer to these as svr4 and aix
+86 # svr4 (System V Release 4) is a regular file, often with .so as suffix
+87 # AIX style uses an archive (suffix .a) with members (e.g., shr.o, libssl.so)
+88 # see issue#26439 and _aix.py for more details
+89
+90 # from ctypes._aix import find_library

Now the self test runs as:

root@x067:[/home/root]python3 /opt/lib/python3.6/ctypes/util.py
None
None
None

crypt :: None
crypt :: <CDLL 'None', handle 16 at 0x300adf10>
crypto:: None
crypto:: <CDLL 'None', handle 17 at 0x30102ed0>

So, maybe your test expects this to still be 'broken' - and you could test by commenting out the lines 83 and 90.
To be absolutely complete, also comment lines 341 to 353 in Lib/ctypes/__init__.py

+341 if _sys.platform.startswith("aix"):
+342 """When the name contains ".a(" and ends with ")",
+343 e.g., "libFOO.a(libFOO.so)" - this is taken to be an
+344 archive(member) syntax for dlopen(), and the mode is adjusted.
+345 Otherwise, name is presented to dlopen() as a file argument.
+346 """
+347 # from _ctypes import RTLD_MEMBER, RTLD_NOW
+348 # RTLD_MEMBER and RTLD_NOW are suppossed to be in _ctypes, but cannot find exact logic
+349 # so hard-code it here, to get the patch done
+350 RTLD_MEMBER = 0x00040000
+351 RTLD_NOW = 0x00000002
+352 if name and name.endswith(")") and ".a(" in name:
+353 mode |= ( RTLD_MEMBER | RTLD_NOW )

FYI: the rest of the patch is in the file Lib/ctypes/_aix.py - and it is included in the 3.7 branch (and later). Slightly different, because they wanted to use a new string type, but functionally, the same.

p.s. - just repeated the process using the 64-bit build. No time to figure out how to add -bloadmap or -bnoquiet, but this is a (minor I hope) difference:

And the ctypes/util.py test() shows the 64-bit dlopen call values - as expected.

Starting again - with Python3-3.6.8.

Normally, I build with ./configure ... --without-computed-gotos (needed for the xlc compiler) and assumed the library built was shared. I am rebuilding now, adding the flag --enable-shared and see if that creates the file the module is looking for - as it creates whatever it creates.

More later.

I thought pyinstaller allowed the execution of a 'compiled' python program without having to deplopy python. Therefore, is it expected that the libpython3.6.so library will be included as part of the AIXTOOLs Python package?

Michael · « **Reply #9 on:** May 03, 2019, 04:35:18 PM »

As I mentioned before - never user pyinstaller. The new packaging includes the shared library, just uses the name Pythin gives it (with a m in the name).

Will test first, then repackage with a link if needed.

root@x067:[/home/root/python/hello]lslpp -w | grep libpython /opt/lib/python3.6/config-3.6m/libpython3.6m.a /opt/lib/libpython3.6m.so

++++

With the new packaging, and some manual help - it can work. I would rather not write in /usr/lib, if I can avoid that. And I want to check with Python - why the library name it generates is 3.6m.so rather than 3.6.so (and, better, why it is not in libpython.a as member libpython3.6.so).

Will have a new package asap, bit I doubt this evening.
