The new patch looks good enough.
The main reason I complained about the error message is that it sounds like you
need Python in order to build Python. Obviously you need Python to run a
modified file like typeslots.py, but there is supposed to be an alternative if
you don’t need to regenerate files. I think running “make touch” should fudge
the timestamps so that Make does not run it. It works for me:
$ touch Objects/typeslots.py
$ make touch
cd .; \
hg --config extensions.touch=Tools/hg/hgtouch.py touch -v
Touching Objects/typeslots.inc
$ make # Does not run typeslots.py
gcc [. . .] Objects/typeobject.c
[. . .]
Unfortunately, I understand “make touch” requires Mercurial, which requires
Python 2. That weakens my argument about bootstrapping Python, but it is still
valid in some scenarios. Maybe we should recommend “make -t
Objects/typeslots.inc” etc instead of “make touch”.
