TestPlatforms
We try to make LKPY usable in a wide range of test environments. Some of these are routinely exercised in our CI environment; others require manual testing.
Our basic target is to support Python version 3.5 and later on Windows, macOS, and Linux. We optimize for Conda-based installs, but LKPY should work in any supported Python environment. This optimization priority means that we are fine with optimizations that work in Conda-provided Python environments but are harder to get working in other settings.
Pythons:
- Conda Python 3.5–3.7, Conda GCC
- System Python (when >= 3.5), System GCC
- Vanilla Python 3.5–3.7 (with pyenv or Docker), System GCC
Distributions:
- Conda (any Linux distro)
- Debian Stable (Stretch)
- Latest Ubuntu LTS
- Latest RHEL/CentOS with Python from EPEL
- Alpine is nice-to-have but not currently tested
CI runs Vanilla Python 3.5-3.6 and Conda Python 3.6–3.7 on Debian Stretch. Test coverage is from Conda Python 3.6.
On Windows, the Cython code needs to be compiled with Visual Studio 2015 or better.
Pythons:
- Conda Python 3.5–3.7
- Vanilla Python 3.5–3.7 (Scoop is useful for installing)
CI runs Conda Python 3.6.
OpenMP support on macOS is finicky and dependent on compiler/OpenMP/mkl matches.
Pythons:
- Conda Python 3.5–3.7, Conda clang; parallel builds require
USE_OPENMP=intel
andllvm-openmp
- MacPorts Python 3.5–3.7, MacPorts GCC, GNU OpenMP
Potential future Pythons to target:
- Homebrew Python
- Vanilla Python 3.5–3.7 (from pyenv?), system
clang
, no OpenMP
CI runs in Conda Python 3.6 with USE_OPENMP=intel
