Strange sysconfig behaviour for source-compiled Python

[danielm-c2a]

Description

A special case of #10151

The Python-3.8.2 seems to have a Windows structure despite my working on Linux. I was requested to open a new issue for this.

See: #10151 (comment)

>>> python -m pip install --upgrade opcua-client
WARNING: Value for scheme.headers does not match. Please report this to <https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/10151>
distutils: /usr/local/include/python3.8/UNKNOWN
sysconfig: /opt/Python-3.8.2/Include/UNKNOWN
WARNING: Additional context:
user = False
home = None
root = None
prefix = None

Expected behavior

No response

pip version

21.2.2

Python version

3.8.2

OS

Pop!_OS

How to Reproduce

python -m pip install --upgrade opcua-client

Output

/opt/Python-3.8.2

Huh, this is actually a CPython source tree! So you are not installing the compiled Python interepter into a prefix (like it’s normally done), but running it directly after compilation? That’s definitely not something we’ve considered (or even expliclty supported). Is you pip also installed in that prefix? (try which pip, pip --version, and pip debug)

[danielm-c2a]

(I modified the title since the original one looks too much like #10151 in a browser tab bar.)

[uranusjr]

I think I have a clue. Could you run the followings for me?

---

$ /usr/local/bin/python3.8 -c 'import sysconfig; print(sysconfig._PYTHON_BUILD)'

If this is not True, could you share your sysconfig? (It might be patched)

---

$ /usr/local/bin/python3.8 -c 'import sys; print(sys._home)'

If sys._home is not None, if there a pyvenv.cfg file in either /usr/local/bin or /usr/local? What’s the content?

---

$ /usr/local/bin/python3.8 -c 'import os; print(os.environ["_PYTHON_PROJECT_BASE"])'

If this has a value (i.e. not raising KeyError or an empty value), try unsetting it and see if the problem goes away.

---

Technical note: This is probably due to _PYTHON_BUILD being set:

https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/v3.8.2/Lib/sysconfig.py#L143-L148

This flag indicates the current environment is a Python source tree being built, and adjusts the paths accordingly. distutils does not do this (because CPython does not use the module to build itself).

Still not clear why this is happening :( Pushing this back to not block other bug fixes.

Description:
I downloaded the source distribution of python 3.9.7, then built and installed it. At the end of the installation process the makefile runs pip, yielding the output:

WARNING: Value for scheme.headers does not match. Please report this to <https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/10151>
distutils: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/include/python3.9/UNKNOWN
sysconfig: /Programming/Python-3.9.7/Include/UNKNOWN
WARNING: Additional context:
user = False
home = None
root = '/'
prefix = None

pip debug yields:

pip version: pip 21.2.4 from /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pip (python 3.9)
sys.version: 3.9.7 (default, Sep  6 2021, 16:27:11) 
[Clang 10.0.0 (clang-1000.11.45.5)]
sys.executable: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/bin/python3.9

I have been using this same procedure for many years, whenever a new python version is released (most recently, before this release, a few months ago for python 3.9.6) and have never seen this warning 'til now.

OS: MacOS 10.13.6

Steps to reproduce:
-- download source distribution of python 3.9.7
-- expand archive
-- cd to top level directory of expanded archive
-- run:

./configure --enable-framework
make
sudo -H make frameworkinstall
