Why can't asdf install a binary python package for the M1 family of processors instead of insisting on compiling from the source it pitifully fails?

tardunge · 2022-01-06T21:35:17Z

facing the same error, any intermediate fix/patch?

hipertracker · 2022-01-07T01:11:29Z

The problem was with Homebrew for Intel which I inherited after the migration from the older laptop. The solution is to completely remove Homebrew (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/65447875/how-to-uninstall-homebrew-using-an-arm-based-mac) and install it from scratch. It should install arm64/M1 version. Then install asdf and you can install Python for M1.

tardunge · 2022-01-13T07:10:35Z

Thanks for helping @hipertracker. My issue was due to ARCHFLAGS env set to "uname -m", which is actually creating the problem and giving the same error. Unsetting the env var in my zshrc file fixed the problem.

Yes this is a good question, does it have to build from source? I actually have the reverse problem, it is failing on Intel MacBook with no x86_64 symbols now found. But trying the uninstall now.

hipertracker · 2022-06-25T21:43:40Z

For Intel MBP you can force flags with the command export ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" added to ~/.zshrc file (for M1 I use export ARCHFLAGS="-arch arm64")

Same issue. Python 3.9 works but not 3.8.

glaucocustodio · 2023-02-18T15:49:58Z

This might help someone: https://glaucocustodio.github.io/2022/10/14/how-to-install-multiple-versions-of-python-on-apple-silicon-m1/

jimblair · 2023-03-13T14:28:43Z

Thanks for helping @hipertracker.....this fixed the issue for me (resetting the arch flag)....please remember to close all shells if you're editing your startup scripts (.zshrc, etc).

EricaDos1 · 2023-10-23T11:15:04Z

I wasn't able to fix this issue, therefore I opted with having python 3.10.5 on my local mac and will use venv with asdf for other versions of python i need. Will continue to look for a workaround

Hi @glaucocustodio Could you manage to make it work? I am facing the same issue

josep16z · 2024-10-03T11:08:23Z

Nothing in this thread worked for me, but I found an alternative solution.

Turns out I already had version 3.9.6 of python installed, which I believe got installed with the XCode Command Line Tools, which I in turn had previously installed when setting up my development environment. The command python is not recognized with this install—python3 is used instead. I just had to add an alias for python and pip.

Step by step:

Verify whether you've got Python installed already: python3 --version.
Go to your .bashrc, .zshrc, or equivalent file, and add the following:

alias python="python3"
alias pip="pip3"

Now, install the asdf Python plugin with asdf install python latest, as you were doing before.
And don't forget to asdf global python latest.

You've now got your "system Python"—the one installed by XCode Tools, which I recommend you leave alone—and the Python you'll actually be using, the versions of which you'll manage through asdf.

You can do which python, python --version, and asdf current to confirm that the Python you'll be using is indeed the version you want and managed by asdf.

Hi @glaucocustodio Could you manage to make it work? I am facing the same issue

I ran into the same issue today when trying to install Python 3.9.0. None of the replies above worked for me, so I did some searching in the asdf-python repo, reading the section "Use".

Two links might be useful.

system dependencies. Install all the dependencies with homebrew.
common build problems. You'll find there's an item explaining the same error. It says:

The ARM64 architecture is supported since 3.8.10 and 3.9.1

Then I tried asdf install python 3.9.1 and it succeeded.
