    @petr is https://bugs.python.org/issue37090 and #13668 also addressing the buildbot failures?

    No, just #13665 is addressing the failures. And it seems that it's successful -- only the slowest of the failed ones (AMD64 Ubuntu Shared 3.x) is still red.

    bpo-37090 extends the test so it can catch more bugs in the future (but there's no rush to get it in...)

    Great! Thank you very much for the quick fix for the problem.

    For AMD64 Ubuntu Shared 3.x, the last build was successful:

    I found an issue in PEP-590:

    When inheriting a heap subclass from a vectorcall class that sets .tp_call=PyVectorcall_Call (as recommended), the subclass does not inherit _Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_VECTORCALL, and thus PyVectorcall_Call does not work for it.
    Possible solutions come to mind:

    • Inherit tp_vectorcall_offset more normally but handle setting __call__ specially
    • Inherit tp_vectorcall_offset (but not _Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_VECTORCALL) more normally, and make PyVectorcall_Call ignore _Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_VECTORCALL

    I'll send a PR for the latter.

    [3.8] bpo-36974: separate vectorcall functions for each calling convention (GH-13781) (bpo-14782)
    bf8e82f

    FYI this change caused a regression in libcomps with Python 3.8 beta3, whereas it works well with Python 3.8 beta2.

    It's not a bug in Python, but it was a bug in libcomps (already fixed upstream). I just fixed libcomps:
    rpm-software-management/libcomps#50

    This project used the following method descriptors (for module functions):

    {"categories_match", (PyCFunction)PyCOMPS_categories_match, METH_KEYWORDS,
    PyCOMPS_validate__doc__},
    {"environments_match", (PyCFunction)PyCOMPS_envs_match, METH_KEYWORDS,
    PyCOMPS_validate__doc__},

    In Python 3.7, importing the module was just fine: descriptor flags are only checked at the first call to the method.

    In Python 3.8, descriptor flags are checked when the module is imported.

    Fedora bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1734777

    The fix is to use the right flags: "METH_VARARGS | METH_KEYWORDS" instead of "METH_KEYWORDS".

    Should we add a note like "if you get a 'SystemError: bad call flags' on import, check the descriptor flags of your functions" in What's New in Python 3.8? Maybe with a link to this issue.

    Should we add a note like "if you get a 'SystemError: bad call flags' on import, check the descriptor flags of your functions" in What's New in Python 3.8?

    A better solution would be to change the error message. We could change it to something like SystemError("bad flags 0x2 for PyCOMPS_categories_match")

    But maybe it's not worth it. Are there many projects that define functions/methods but never call them?

    'SystemError: bad call flags' error message LGTM, I don't think that it should be changed.

    Are there many projects that define functions/methods but never call them?

    I have no idea.
