Have you tried building it? The patches need to be rebased also.

@Biswa96 Oops, will do.

Wish it were that easy to be honest.

@meghprkh for reference if you would like some comparison to get started,

here are the changes that were performed initially for python 3.11->3.12 change, which was a ~900 line change:

• python: update to 3.12 #18078

and then additionally after that, every package in the repository that has python or python-pip in TERMUX_PKG_DEPENDS or TERMUX_PKG_BUILD_DEPENDS, or has TERMUX_PKG_PYTHON_COMMON_DEPS, TERMUX_PKG_PYTHON_TARGET_DEPS, or TERMUX_PKG_PYTHON_BUILD_DEPS, or has TERMUX_PKG_SETUP_PYTHON=true, will need to be recompiled,

here is a list of many of the packages I found that might need to be checked for whether they need to be rebuilt for python 3.13, in a search:

Additionally, I am pretty sure that build host Python 3.13 would (probably, I think) be necessary to install during setup-ubuntu.sh because the build container Ubuntu 24.04 does not come with Python 3.13 by default, here is an article outlining some of the options for how Python 3.13 can be installed into Ubuntu 24.04, one of these methods might be possible here.

I guess with the ppa, you can not rely on any of the native built python packages in the setup-ubuntu.sh, Its pretty hard to realize which of the packages is native and which is not. I guess though all packages can be switched to their pip installs, it probably creates more maintainance burden as you are no longer relying on plain ubuntu to do the maintainance of those packages for you and might need to update the pinned versions in requirements.txt.

With that regard, I think its best to wait for the next ubuntu LTS imo. Or at the very least this change is beyond my scope of understanding of the termux build system. Thanks for the help regardless!

That ppa was used previously and removed in 7132ad2 commit after Ubuntu update.

I am not sure how that works.

From the ppa

Python modules in the official Ubuntu repositories are packaged to work with the Python interpreters from the official repositories. Accordingly, they generally won't work with the Python interpreters from this PPA. As an exception, pure-Python modules for Python 3 will work, but any compiled extension modules won't.

There is python3-yaml at the very least which is a "compiled extension" https://www.apt-browse.org/browse/ubuntu/bionic/main/amd64/python3-yaml/3.12-1build2/?query=python3-yaml

Maybe that has a fallback, if it cant load the native extension, I am not sure (since I recall the CLoader vs Loader API there)

Probably I should write python validation script as well.
