Adapt to executable naming in the free-threaded build

Prerequisite

• Make sure your problem is not listed in the common build problems.
• Make sure no duplicated issue has already been reported in the pyenv issues. You should look for closed issues, too.
• Make sure you are not asking us to help solving your specific issue.
  • GitHub issues is opened mainly for development purposes. If you want to ask someone to help solving your problem, go to some community site like Gitter, StackOverflow, etc.
• Make sure your problem is not derived from packaging (e.g. Homebrew).
  • Please refer to the package documentation for the installation issues, etc.
• Make sure your problem is not derived from plugins.
  • This repository is maintaining pyenv and the default python-build plugin only. Please refrain from reporting issues of other plugins here.

Description

• Platform information (e.g. Ubuntu Linux 16.04): MacOS Sonoma
• OS architecture (e.g. amd64): aarch64
• pyenv version: 2.3.36
• Python version: 3.13.0b1
• C Compiler information (e.g. gcc 7.3): Apple clang version 15.0.0 (clang-1500.1.0.2.5)
• Please attach the debug trace of the failing command as a gist:
  • Run env PYENV_DEBUG=1 <faulty command> 2>&1 | tee trace.log and attach trace.log. E.g. if you have a problem with installing Python, run env PYENV_DEBUG=1 pyenv install -v <version> 2>&1 | tee trace.log (note the -v option to pyenv install).
• If you have a problem with installing Python, please also attach config.log from the build directory
  • The build directory is reported after the "BUILD FAILED" message and is usually under /tmp.
• If the build succeeds but the problem is still with the build process (e.g. the resulting Python is missing a feature), please attach
  • the debug trace from reinstalling the faulty version with env PYENV_DEBUG=1 pyenv install -f -k -v <version> 2>&1 | tee trace.log
  • config.log from the build directory. When using pyenv install with -k as per above, the build directory will be under $PYENV_ROOT/sources.

This used to work (#2851) but seems to have broken recently.

CONFIGURE_OPTS=--disable-gil pyenv install -f -v 3.13-dev

Lots of output, that ends with:

Successfully installed pip-24.0
ERROR: invalid Python executable: /Users/goldbaum/.pyenv/versions/3.13-nogil/bin/python3.13

The python-build could not find proper executable of Python after successful build.
Please open an issue for future improvements.

As a workaround, you can use a custom build definition that removes the verify_py313 step from the 3.13-dev or 3.13.0b1 definitions:

prefer_openssl3
export PYTHON_BUILD_CONFIGURE_WITH_OPENSSL=1
export PYTHON_BUILD_TCLTK_USE_PKGCONFIG=1
export PYTHON_BUILD_CONFIGURE_WITH_DSYMUTIL=1
install_package "openssl-3.3.0" "https://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-3.3.0.tar.gz#53e66b043322a606abf0087e7699a0e033a37fa13feb9742df35c3a33b18fb02" mac_openssl --if has_broken_mac_openssl
install_package "readline-8.0" "https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/readline/readline-8.0.tar.gz#e339f51971478d369f8a053a330a190781acb9864cf4c541060f12078948e461" mac_readline --if has_broken_mac_readline
install_git "Python-3.13-dev" "https://github.com/python/cpython" 3.13 standard copy_python_gdb ensurepip

If I had to guess, this is because they added a python3.13t executable to the build:

Upgrade Pyenv to the latest release which has #2960

[ngoldbaum]

Thanks for diagnosing! I switched to using pyenv from a clone of the repo so I can update faster.
