fix: skip interpreters with empty output for WSL2 cross-compile#3137
Merged
Conversation
When cross-compiling from WSL2 to Windows, PATH may include Windows Store Python stubs at /mnt/c/.../WindowsApps/python.exe. These stubs exit with an error code and produce no output (empty stderr), causing maturin to fail with "Trying to get metadata from python interpreter failed". Gracefully skip these stub interpreters instead of failing the build.

Summary
Problem
When cross-compiling from WSL2 to Windows (e.g. using
cargo-xwin), PATH may include Windows Store Python stubs at:These stub executables exist but don't function as real Python interpreters - they just exit with an error code and produce no output (empty stderr). This caused maturin to fail with:
Solution
Gracefully skip interpreters with empty stderr output instead of failing the build. This allows cross-compilation workflows (like
maturin build --target x86_64-pc-windows-msvcin WSL2) to proceed when usinggenerate-import-libfeature.Test Plan
