Add Cython builds to MacOS using universal2

[cdgriffith]

Discovered by @JacobHayes in the 7.0.0 release, the builds for macOS cython version were not working except on latest python 3.11 that was able to build a universal2 package.

I have tried building universal2 with older versions of python with github actions on macos-12 but without luck:

jobs:
  package-checks:
    strategy:
      matrix:
        python-version: ["3.9.15"]
        os: [macos-12]
    runs-on: ${{ matrix.os }}
    steps:

      - uses: actions/checkout@v3

      - name: Install python version
        uses: gabrielfalcao/pyenv-action@v11
        env:
          PYTHON_CONFIGURE_OPTS: "--enable-universalsdk=/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk --with-universal-archs=universal2"
          LDFLAGS: "-L/opt/homebrew/lib"
          CPPFLAGS: "-I/opt/homebrew/include"
        with:
          default: "3.9.15"
          command: python -m pip install --upgrade pip  # upgrade pip after installing python


      - name: Install dependencies
        run: |
          pip install -r requirements.txt
          pip install -r requirements-test.txt
          pip install coveralls flake8 flake8-print mypy setuptools wheel twine Cython

      - name: Test packaged wheel on mac
        if: matrix.os == 'macos-12'
        run: |
          pip install Cython
          python setup.py bdist_wheel
          mv box box_og
          ls dist/*
          pip install dist/*universal2.whl
          python -m pytest
      - name: Upload wheel artifact
        uses: actions/upload-artifact@v2
        with:
          name: python_box
          path: dist/*.whl

It also seems to plague a lot of other people as well:

macos build config options for python: https://docs.python.org/3/using/configure.html#macos-options

For now going to remove cython builds entirely for 7.0.0 until someone who owns a mac and can figure this out submits a PR for it!

I wonder if it'd be easy to setup https://github.com/pypa/cibuildwheel

[cdgriffith]

ouh never seen that before, thank you for the link!

It looks to be creating x86_64 wheels as well, but it does test/ correct them as part of the process so hopefully in 7.0.0rc3 they are working correctly for mac! https://pypi.org/project/python-box/7.0.0rc3/#files

I was still getting issues, but weirdly updating python (not specifically pip) seemed to fix it:

-        python-version: [3.9.14, 3.10.8, 3.11.0]
+        python-version: [3.9.16, 3.10.9, 3.11.1]

I also noticed the GHA runner version changed between my 3.9/3.10 and 3.11 builds (which is very odd - same workflow run, just in a matrix all using macos-latest). After the py upgrade all are using the same runner version. 🤷

I think it might have to do with the wheels being tagged macosx_12_0 instead of eg: macosx_10_9 or macosx_11_0 as numpy seems to have - so maybe the minor python versions were upgraded to identify _12_0 fine.

I think the poetry config is a bit off though and ruamel and tomli are being marked required - I'll submit a PR here soon to try to fix!
