Hey everyone,
I just installed Python3.13 from python.org and I was wondering about all the PythonT symlinks in
I found out these are for the "free-threaded" version of Python without the GIL. However, the folder
I just installed Python3.13 from python.org and I was wondering about all the PythonT symlinks in
/usr/local/bin
:python3.13t->../../../Library/Frameworks/PythonT.framework/Versions/3.13/bin/python3.13t
python3.13t-config->../../../Library/Frameworks/PythonT.framework/Versions/3.13/bin/python3.13t-config
python3.13t-intel64->../../../Library/Frameworks/PythonT.framework/Versions/3.13/bin/python3.13t-intel64
python3t->../../../Library/Frameworks/PythonT.framework/Versions/3.13/bin/python3t
python3t-config->../../../Library/Frameworks/PythonT.framework/Versions/3.13/bin/python3t-config
python3t-intel64->../../../Library/Frameworks/PythonT.framework/Versions/3.13/bin/python3t-intel64
I found out these are for the "free-threaded" version of Python without the GIL. However, the folder
/Library/Frameworks/PythonT.framework
never exists. Is there any reason these symlinks are created even though the PythonT is not installed? And how would I install it? I just found --disable-gil
, which I would need to use, if I build from source, if I got that correct.
