build-backend - build-wheel - interpreter path - when cross-compiling, got path to interpreter

[justai-net]

Bug Description

Hey all,
Attempting to use the build-backend to build wheels with cross-compile.

The command here, seems to pass sys.executable,

maturin/maturin/__init__.py

Line 70 in 855f6d2

sys.executable,

which passes the full path of the executable here

maturin/src/build_options.rs

Line 1174 in 855f6d2

if std::path::Path::new(&python).is_file() {

#pyproject.toml
[build-system]
requires = ["maturin==1.5"]
build-backend = "maturin"

CARGO_BUILD_TARGET=x86_64-pc-windows-msvc maturin pep517 build-wheel -i ~/.pyenv/versions/pypy3.9-7.3.15/bin/pypy3.9
🔗 Found pyo3 bindings
💥 maturin failed
  Caused by: Python interpreter should be a kind of interpreter (e.g. 'python3.8' or 'pypy3.9') when cross-compiling, got path to interpreter: /home/user/.pyenv/versions/pypy3.9-7.3.15/bin/pypy3.9

I'm able to run the following, without any issues, though would like to be able to build with build-backend.

CARGO_BUILD_TARGET=x86_64-pc-windows-msvc maturin pep517 build-wheel -i pypy3.9

Are there any other options available?

Your maturin version (maturin --version)

1.5.0

Your Python version (python -V)

python 3.9.18

Your pip version (pip -V)

pip 23.0.1

What bindings you're using

pyo3

Does cargo build work?

• Yes, it works

If on windows, have you checked that you aren't accidentally using unix path (those with the forward slash /)?

• Yes

maturin pep517 build-wheel is not intended to be used outside of pip install, use maturin build instead.

For cross compilation, refer to the docs:
