Stuck at sequential test during Python 3.7 installation on Raspberry Pi 4

Question

During installation, every time I try to run

make -j 4

it always stuck at

0:19:16 load avg: 0.95 [129/416] test_exception_variation

0:19:17 load avg: 0.96 [130/416] test_extcall

0:19:17 load avg: 0.96 [131/416] test_faulthandler

the longest I have waited is one night- for reference, I followed the tutorial from this website https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-install-python-3-7-on-debian-9/#installing-python-37-on-debian

any help with this problem is appreciated

have you tried `make` without the j? – kpie Jan 15 '22 at 05:14 — kpie, Jan 15 '22 at 05:14

You can try:

./configure --enable-optimizations --enable-loadable-sqlite-extensions

make profile-gen-stamp; ./python -m test.regrtest --pgo -j8; make build_all_merge_profile; touch profile-run-stamp; make

For me it stuck on 415/416 test... I dont know hos pass it :(

The problem is probably related to this issue "test_stack_overflow (test.test_faulthandler.FaultHandlerTests) is stuck with GCC10", I'd suggest to apply this patch to Modules/faulthandler.c and run make again.

Tested on Devuan 4 (Debian 11)
