Mac Mojave and Python 3.8 working branch

Hi, I have a branch to push to you with a working version of the python binding module
with Mac Mojave and Python 3.8 using python.org version of python, (not brew)

Cheers Dave.

Notes here;

help on python c binding

dependencies

install python3.8 from python.org

pip3 install pybind11
pip3 install invoke
pip3 install Cython

security block

mac mojave blocks relative pathed libraries, here is the fix

install_name_tool

def install_name_tool(dependent=None, depends=[]):
    '''
    make the lib full path to get around security blocking relative paths
    '''
    for dependson in depends:
        full_path = os.path.abspath(dependson)
        shell_str='install_name_tool -change {0} {1} {2}'.format(dependson, full_path, dependent)
        print('    install_name_tool: {0}'.format(dependson))
        invoke.run(shell_str)

mac G++ missing symbols

mac compile gets upset about missing symbols

ignore missing symbols on a mac

On Mac OS: the build command is almost the same but it also requires passing the -undefined dynamic_lookup flag so as to ignore missing symbols when building the module:

in task.py

def compile_python_module(cpp_name, extension_name):
    invoke.run(
        "g++ -O3 -Wall -Werror -shared -std=c++11 -fPIC "
        "`python3.8-config --includes` "
        "`python3 -m pybind11 --includes` "
        "-undefined dynamic_lookup "
        "-I . "
        "{0} "
        "-o {1}`python3.8-config --extension-suffix` "
        "-L. -lcppmult -Wl,-rpath,.".format(cpp_name, extension_name)
    )

compile and test

here is the output from a good compile and test run

Inizia con task.py e il workflow documentato invoke all, quindi esamina come vengono compilati e testati i moduli C, C++, CFFI, PyBind11 e Cython. Riproduci la configurazione segnalata con Python 3.8 e Mac Mojave; l'attività è completata quando il branch richiesto o le modifiche documentate sono integrati e tutte le build e i test dei moduli elencati hanno esito positivo.
