Just out of curiosity, I was wondering if anyone has compiled Python 2.4 with the Intel C Compiler and its processor specific optimizations. I can build it fine with OPT="-O3" or OPT="-xN" but when I try to combine them I get this as soon as ./python is run:
""" case $MAKEFLAGS in \ *-s*) CC='icc -pthread' LDSHARED='icc -pthread -shared' OPT='-DNDEBUG -O3 -xN' ./python -E ./setup.py -q build;; \ *) CC='icc -pthread' LDSHARED='icc -pthread -shared' OPT='-DNDEBUG -O3 -xN' ./python -E ./setup.py build;; \ esac 'import site' failed; use -v for traceback Traceback (most recent call last): File "./setup.py", line 6, in ? import sys, os, getopt, imp, re File "/usr/local/src/Python-2.4/Lib/os.py", line 130, in ? raise ImportError, 'no os specific module found' ImportError: no os specific module found make: *** [sharedmods] Error 1 """
Also, if I run ./python, I have this interesting result:
""" $ ./python 'import site' failed; use -v for traceback Python 2.4 (#34, Mar 12 2005, 18:46:28) [GCC Intel(R) C++ gcc 3.0 mode] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import sys >>> sys.builtin_module_names ('__main__', '__builtin__', '__builtin__', '__builtin__', '__builtin__', '__builtin__', '__builtin__', '__builtin__', '__builtin__', '__builtin__', '__builtin__', '__builtin__', '__builtin__', 'exceptions', 'gc', 'gc') """
Whoa--what's going on? Any ideas?
