OS X build of Python that could embed LuaJIT?

[kcarnold]

For interop with machine learning code written in Torch, it would be great to be able to use lupa with LuaJIT. Unfortunately this fails at present because LuaJIT needs its host executable to be compiled with some special flags.

Would it be possible to build the Anaconda Python package with the appropriate flags to be able to embed LuaJIT? Specifically, the following flags would need to be passed to the linker:

-pagezero_size 10000 -image_base 100000000

See http://luajit.org/install.html.

I do not know if there are any downsides to these flags; ideally there wouldn't need to be a special build.

Alternatively, could I build a Python executable myself with these flags? The recipe in https://github.com/conda/conda-recipes/tree/master/python/python-3.5 seems to be for an old version, Python 3.5.0b4.

I recommend looking at the conda-forge recipes here:

conda-forge/staged-recipes#84

Continuum will be making these recipes public over time, but we're behind. I hope the conda-forge recipe there can help you.
