Failed to run built Python - AttributeError: module 'sys' has no attribute 'winver' #431

New issue
New issue

Description

Tested on 3.12.10 and 3.11.0 - build suceeds, but there are some AttributeError: module 'sys' has no attribute 'winver' errors during installation (I assume when Python itself is executed to launch some commands / do tests) and running any commands to already installed Python fails with the same error.

Below is .yml for github action to reproduce the problem:

name: build-cmake-python on: workflow_dispatch: jobs: build-cmake-python: runs-on: windows-2022 steps: - name: Configure build run: | Set-PSDebug -Trace 1 $ErrorActionPreference = "Stop" $PSNativeCommandUseErrorActionPreference = $true curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Andrej730/vcvarsall-pwsh/refs/heads/master/generate-vcvarsall-env.ps1 -o generate-vcvarsall-env.ps1 pwsh -NoProfile -File .\generate-vcvarsall-env.ps1 . .\vcvarsall-env.ps1 git clone https://github.com/python-cmake-buildsystem/python-cmake-buildsystem --depth 1 cd python-cmake-buildsystem mkdir build && cd build cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="install" cmake --build . --config Release -- /m cmake --install . --config Release ./install/bin/python.exe --version ./install/bin/python.exe -c "print(42)"
