Description

  • uvloop version: 0.17.0
  • Python version: pypy3.9
  • Platform: Debian Bullseye
  • Can you reproduce the bug with PYTHONASYNCIODEBUG in env?: Yes
  • Does uvloop behave differently from vanilla asyncio? How?: Vanilla asyncio does not create this error

uvloop fails to import with the following traceback

  File "/var/gpob/GB.py", line 36, in <module>
    import uvloop
  File "/usr/lib/pypy3.9/site-packages/uvloop/__init__.py", line 7, in <module>
    from .loop import Loop as __BaseLoop  # NOQA
ImportError: /usr/lib/pypy3.9/site-packages/uvloop/loop.pypy39-pp73-x86_64-linux-gnu.so: undefined symbol: PyContext_CopyCurrent```

Research direction

Start by reproducing the import on Debian Bullseye with PyPy 3.9 and uvloop 0.17.0, then inspect uvloop/init.py and the imported loop.pypy39-pp73-x86_64-linux-gnu.so associated with the undefined PyContext_CopyCurrent symbol. Done means uvloop imports successfully under PyPy and the relevant import behavior is covered by an appropriate regression test.
