[BUG] Can't build wheels on CPython 3.13t (no GIL / PEP 703) when bdist_wheel's py-limited-api option is set #4420
Description
setuptools version
latest commit from the main branch
Python version
3.13t
OS
Arch Linux
Additional environment information
CPython 3.13 built without global interpreter lock (--disable-gil) - PEP 703.
Description
I've just been redirected here to this issue tracker from
pypa/wheel#624
because the bdist_wheel command has just been vendored into setuptools. There hasn't been a new setuptools releasee since, so I'm actually reporting a bug that currently only affects the wheel package, but will affect setuptools soon unless fixed.
Original report (with adjusted code links):
I ran into this issue while trying to build a pycryptodome wheel on CPython 3.13t.
See Legrandin/pycryptodome#813
The pycryptodome project sets the py-limited-api option to cp35 in order to limit its abi3 wheels to cp35 and above.
However, when using CPython 3.13t (built without global interpreter lock - PEP 703), this option raises an AssertionError when trying to build the wheel.
The reason for this is this if-else-block:
setuptools/setuptools/command/bdist_wheel.py
Lines 351 to 355 in f91fa3d
Building CPython 3.13 without the GIL adds the t ABI flag, so the (impl_name + impl_ver).startswith("cp3") check is incorrect where it sets abi_tag = "abi3" if the condition is true. The AssertionError is then raised afterwards when it checks for supported tags:
setuptools/setuptools/command/bdist_wheel.py
Lines 356 to 363 in f91fa3d

ERROR Backend subprocess exited when trying to invoke build_wheel
This isn't a
packagingissue, because if I remove the option frompycryptodome'ssetup.cfg, then acp313twheel is built just fine.
This is not supposed to be an
abi3wheel.abi3is incompatible with no-GIL builds (t):
Expected behavior
.
How to Reproduce
- Build CPython 3.13 with
--disable-gilas build option - Create new venv and activate it
- Try to build
pycryptodomewheel (which sets thepy-limited-apioption tocp35in order to limit itsabi3wheels tocp35and above, but which is irrelevant, as we can't buildabi3wheels due to the no GIL CPython build option)
As said in the beginning, I've been redirected here, so this issue currently doesn't apply to setuptools yet, since the vendored bdist_wheel command hasn't arrived in a new release yet.
Output
