Is there an issue with Linux builds currently?

Hello,

There are no Linux builds for Slicer preview and no extensions since a few days.

Slicer clean-built today (e1881207) on Arch runs (--ignore-slicerrc) suspiciously with the following in stdout:

Are there know issues for Linux builds? May we expect ‘business as usual’ soon?

Thank you.

See the following details below. It appears there may be an issue specific to Linux builds that is not being observed for Windows or macOS builds.

BUG: Revert Python initialization change that breaks PythonQt integration

main ← jcfr:revert-pyconfig-init-qt-breakage

opened 03:13PM - 14 Jul 25 UTC

jcfr

+1 -11

This reverts commit 3bace0b4b6 ("ENH: Update Python initialization to use PyConf…ig API", 2025-07-03) The commit replaced the deprecated `Py_NoUserSiteDirectory` global flag with `PyConfig`-based initialization (PEP 587). While forward-looking, the change caused Slicer to fail at startup due to broken PythonQt integration. For example, `qt.QTimer` and `qt.QIcon` became unavailable. Additionally, over 100 Python and C++ tests fail (`ctest`) due to incomplete or incorrect initialization of the embedded interpreter. Until proper support for `PyConfig` is implemented in coordination with PythonQt, this reverts to using `Py_NoUserSiteDirectory` to restore expected behavior.

chir.set · July 17, 2025, 8:26am

Thanks for the link. After reverting the referenced commit, Slicer builds and runs fine.

(There’s a new issue regarding VMTK and ITK, that’s another headache.)

jcfr · July 17, 2025, 6:05pm

Thanks for your patience

A pull request fixing the python initialization has just been published

See PR#8582

Fixes regression introduced in:

7a26aa1 (“ENH: Update Python initialization for compatibility with isolated mode”)
3bace0b (“ENH: Update Python initialization to use PyConfig API”)

These changes inadvertently introduced multiple and inconsistent Python initializations by removing the use of deprecated symbols (PySys_SetArgvEx, Py_NoUserSiteDirectory) without fully replicating their intended behavior. As a result, over 100 tests failed (e.g., AttributeError: module 'qt' has no attribute 'QTimer' on Ubuntu) due to Python being initialized both too late and with conflicting settings.

This commit restores correct initialization behavior by:

Initializing Python early in qSlicerCorePythonManager using the PyConfig API. Rather than explicitly setting config.isolated = 0, this relies on the default (non-isolated) mode established by Py_InitializeFromConfig, which ensures that environment variables and site directories are respected. Early initialization ensures Python is ready before QApplication starts.
Preventing re-initialization by PythonQt by setting the PythonAlreadyInitialized flag. The previously required clearing of the IgnoreSiteModule flag is no longer necessary, as PythonQt no longer manages initialization.
Moving argument population (PyConfig_SetArgv) and interpreter config update (_PyInterpreterState_SetConfig) into qSlicerCoreApplication::handleCommandLineArguments() to occur after command-line arguments are fully known.

This approach ensures consistent interpreter state across embedded Python and PythonQt integration, and aligns with the best practices of the PyConfig API.

jcfr · July 17, 2025, 6:07pm

Do you have more details about this ?

Also, I suggest you base your build on the linked pull request that should be integrated into main shortly.

jcfr · July 17, 2025, 6:14pm

For reference, here is the corresponding VMTK issue:

VMTK libs build failure · Issue #162 · vmtk/SlicerExtension-VMTK · GitHub

chir.set · July 17, 2025, 6:31pm

Thank you for considering both issues. My last build at 407906c367 does not yet include PR 8582.

I’ll keep you updated tomorrow.

Regards.

chir.set · July 18, 2025, 7:23am

Unfortunately, Slicer does not start with a usable result when built at 533859698. The VMTK issue (related or not) persists.

Here is a trimmed stdout (too long for the editor) with --ignore-slicerrc from the build tree:

Further tests:

The default locale of the environment is fr_FR.UTF-8, which is the only locale active in /etc/locale.gen.

The bunch of decode errors before loading .slicerrc.py occur with the default locale in the environment or on the command line.

They do not appear with anything else : {C,en_US,ar_BH,so_SO}.UTF-8. None of these have been generated by locale-gen which is from the glibc package.

chir.set · July 19, 2025, 9:51am

@jcfr
It’s usable, but like a disabled person.

It must be started with a locale that has not been generated for glibc. Modules are functional, even Python modules, but the rc file fails to load (a major limitation for me).

Following the upgrade of the Linux build environment, the Preview build should be available for download tomorrow:

Great and thanks @jcfr.

There’s still one last step issue however.
