This change prevents a segfault coming from
zope.interface
when running theci_visibility
test suite under Python 3.8This issue was found during the PR #12243. It is unclear why that PR surfaces the issue, but the extracted segfault traceback is showing zope.interface._compat._c_optimizations_available as the trigger for the segfault.
The fix to work around this issue is to set the PURE_PYTHON=1 environment variable which will tell
zope.interface
to not use this c extension at all.Example segfault from CI
