`python`: add `3.14` support by T-Dynamos · Pull Request #3180 · kivy/python-for-android

T-Dynamos · 2025-07-26T14:09:47Z

This PR adds python 3.14 support, we can't set default version to 3.14 just yet as in latest python, distutils was removed, so a lot of recipes need updating.

Closes #3219

pythonforandroid/recipe.py

cclauss · 2025-10-07T11:30:05Z

Should Python 3.13 be added to the automated testing?

python-for-android/.github/workflows/push.yml

Line 39 in 3c5b66d

python-version: ['3.8', '3.9', '3.10', '3.11']

GitHub Actions: Add Python 3.12, 3.13, 3.14, and 3.14t to the testing #3076

What about Python 3.14 and 3.14t (free threaded)?

T-Dynamos · 2025-10-07T11:38:43Z

@cclauss I did tested python build with --disable-gil option, and there were some segmentation fault errors.

It's an experimental option given in recipe class:

https://github.com/kivy/python-for-android/pull/3180/files#diff-6aaa5c7168576825b0ac43915df1873d45e5594eee8189ec7c717cf89bcfe400R178-R184

Does 3.14t has some special android support?

And regarding adding them to the test workflow, we can’t do that just yet, since other recipes still need to be ported to PyProjectRecipe; otherwise, they will fail on Python 3.13 and above.

cclauss · 2025-10-07T11:53:18Z

https://docs.python.org/3.14/whatsnew/3.14.html#build-changes

Official Android binary releases are now provided on python.org.

GitHub Actions: Add Python 3.12, 3.13, 3.14, and 3.14t to the testing #3076

cclauss · 2025-10-07T15:00:31Z

Python 3.14 (the π version) was released 30 minutes ago.
https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3140/
https://github.com/actions/python-versions/releases

cclauss · 2025-10-07T19:12:19Z

I would feel more comfortable about this if GitHub Actions tests were being run.

python-for-android/.github/workflows/push.yml

Line 39 in 3c5b66d

python-version: ['3.8', '3.9', '3.10', '3.11']

-->

        python-version: ['3.8', '3.9', '3.10', '3.11', '3.12', '3.13', '3.14', '3.14t']

Perhaps bumping python3 & hostpython3 to 3.14 would be great?

T-Dynamos · 2025-10-08T08:35:19Z

@kuzeyron Maybe another PR for that as other recipes need to be updated to support python 3.14.

Currently errors like this occur:

Distutils was removed in recent python versions.
Fix is to switch to PyProjectRecipe and update version of every failing recipe.

cclauss · 2025-10-08T09:07:25Z

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'setuptools'

Setuptools has some parts of distutils left in it, so `pip install setuptools; python_version>="3.13" might be a short-term solution.

T-Dynamos · 2025-10-08T09:11:03Z

@cclauss But distutils import will still fail as it is hardcoded in setup.py files.

cclauss · 2025-10-08T09:13:56Z

uv run --python=3.14 --with=setuptools setup.py

cclauss · 2025-10-08T09:17:47Z

In general, we want to move away from setup.py and toward pyproject.toml.

We also want to drop six which is deprecated because Python 2 died long ago (1/1/2020).

LGTM thank you for the effort
