Backport PEP420 namespace package support from Cython 3

[mkoeppe]

After #33011, downstream packages that use Cython and cimport Sage modules need to activate PEP 420 namespace package support in Cython using with cython_namespace_package_support (as is done in https://github.com/sagemath/sage-prod/blob/develop/src/setup.py#L106 for sagelib).

This feature is standard in the upcoming Cython 3 (#29863). Until downstream packages are updated, we can patch our Cython.

Upstream backport PR:

• Backport to 0.29.x: Add PEP420 namespace support cython/cython#4918

Depends on #34237

This solved all of the problems that I ran into with the p_group_cohomology and sage_numerical_backends_coin packages. The problems were caused by cython not finding the .pxd files that were needed for cimport statements. With this patch the cimports worked and I got a successful build of 9.7.beta6 on an arm64 mac with a minimal environment.

This works for me and also fixes the problems with sage_numerical_backends_coin. p_group_cohomology still fails for me ("ld: library not found for -lmodres"), for what that's worth.

Thanks!

@jhpalmieri - the p_group_cohomology issue can be fixed by adding a symlink.
See this message on sage-devel.

Thank you, I added that link to the discussion at #30787.

For my information, is this needed to build sage now? Or will it be needed once we split sagelib for real?

[mkoeppe]

comment:17

It's not needed for building sagelib, but it is needed for building other packages as described in the ticket description

comment:18

For downstream packages, yes. But I am assuming that once we split sagelib, the modules may need it too - but that's in the future.

[mkoeppe]

comment:19

The modularized packages such as sagemath-objects don't need it because they use with cython_namespace_package_support just like the monolithic sagelib does.

Thank you for answering my pesky questions.
