For example, PyPy has no ``_stat`` module.\r\n\r\nBut the Python test suite expects the ``_stat`` module to be available: test_inspect, test_pydoc, and test_tarfile fail with it's missing.\r\n\r\nDisable compilation of the ``_stat`` extension to reproduce the issue:\r\n\r\n```diff\r\ndiff --git a/Modules/Setup.bootstrap.in b/Modules/Setup.bootstrap.in\r\nindex 8ef0f203a8..a1f6b8cc85 100644\r\n--- a/Modules/Setup.bootstrap.in\r\n+++ b/Modules/Setup.bootstrap.in\r\n@@ -29,7 +29,7 @@ _abc _abc.c\r\n _functools _functoolsmodule.c\r\n _locale _localemodule.c\r\n _operator _operator.c\r\n-_stat _stat.c\r\n+#_stat _stat.c\r\n _symtable symtablemodule.c\r\n \r\n # for systems without $HOME env, used by site._getuserbase()\r\n```\r\n\r\nExample:\r\n\r\n```\r\n$ ./python -c 'import _stat'\r\nModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_stat'\r\n```\r\n\r\n\u003c!-- gh-linked-prs --\u003e\r\n### Linked PRs\r\n* gh-108639\r\n* gh-108689\n\u003c!-- /gh-linked-prs --\u003e\r\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/vstinner","@type":"Person","name":"vstinner"},"datePublished":"2023-08-29T14:31:32.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":8},"url":"https://github.com/108638/cpython/issues/108638"}
