lldb fails to build with Python 3.13.0a1. /builddir/build/BUILD/lldb-17.0.3.src/source/Plugins/ScriptInterpreter/Python/ScriptInterpreterPython.cpp:191:5: error: use of undeclared identifier 'PyEval_InitThreads'; did you mean 'PyEval_SaveThread'? 191 | PyEval_InitThreads(); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | PyEval_SaveThread According to https://docs.python.org/3.13/whatsnew/3.13.html: Remove PyEval_InitThreads() and PyEval_ThreadsInitialized() functions, deprecated in Python 3.9. Since Python 3.7, Py_Initialize() always creates the GIL: calling PyEval_InitThreads() did nothing and PyEval_ThreadsInitialized() always returned non-zero.

You can follow these instructions to test locally in mock if your package builds with Python 3.13: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/python/python3.13/ Let us know here if you have any questions. Python 3.13 is planned to be included in Fedora 41. To make that update smoother, we're building Fedora packages with all pre-releases of Python 3.13. A build failure prevents us from testing all dependent packages (transitive [Build]Requires), so if this package is required a lot, it's important for us to get it fixed soon. We'd appreciate help from the people who know this package best, but if you don't want to work on this now, let us know so we can try to work around it on our side.
This will require some work upstream. We first need to convert test code to Python 3.12. I'm working on this.
I have proposed 2 fixes upstream: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/70443 https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/70445 They're under review. I have also reported an issue that may require further changes in order to be fully compatible with Python >= 3.12: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/70453 And I created a PR downstream at: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/lldb/pull-request/63
The 2 fixes I proposed upstream got merged. I backported them to Rawhide. Future lldb builds should work now. The remaining issue will automatically be integrated in Fedora when upstream fixes it. With that said, I'm closing this bug report.
