feat: add native C extension integration and test suite for 23 Python packages by ppenna · Pull Request #211 · nanvix/nanvix-python

ppenna · 2026-05-14T06:36:46Z

Summary

Integrate cross-compiled C extensions (numpy, pandas, Pillow, rapidfuzz, wordcloud) into the Nanvix Python build system and add comprehensive functional tests for all 23 target packages.

Changes

Build system (`.nanvix/z.py`)

Add _install_pandas_python() to copy pandas 3.x source into sysroot
Invoke pandas/numpy Python file installation during build and test phases

Patches for runtime compatibility

numpy/_init_.py: meta-path finder redirecting dotted imports to flat builtins
pandas/_init_.py: meta-path finder resolving Cython circular imports (44 modules)
pandas/api/, pandas/core/: compatibility shims for 3.x source
PIL/: Nanvix compatibility for Image, ImageFont, ImageDraw, ImageFilter
matplotlib/, scipy/, cryptography/, psutil/, pypdfium2/: stub modules (graceful degradation)

Functional tests (`tests/func/`)

test_118 through test_140: import/smoke tests for all 23 packages
test_150-154: benchmarks (hello, numpy import/compute, pandas import/compute)

Dependencies

Updated site-packages-extra.txt with all pure-Python packages

Test results

Results: 39 passed, 1 failed (plotnine — needs matplotlib C modules), 1 skipped (seaborn)

Pull request overview

This PR extends Nanvix’s Python build/test pipeline to support a broader set of packages by combining (a) copied Python “wrapper” trees for statically-linked native extensions (e.g., lxml/rapidfuzz/wordcloud/Pillow/numpy/pandas) with (b) pure-Python shim packages under patches/, and adds functional smoke/benchmark tests for the newly targeted ecosystem packages.

Changes:

Expand .nanvix/z.py to install shim packages from patches/ and to copy Python wrapper files for several statically-linked native extensions into site-packages during build/test.
Add functional tests for many additional packages (imports + minimal API checks) plus benchmark-style tests for hello/numpy/pandas.
Update requirements/site-packages-extra.txt to include additional pure-Python dependencies needed by the new tests/packages.
