python3 prefixed package RPMs
by Ratliff, John Jan. 8, 2020

Jan. 8, 2020

It seems RHEL/CentOS prefers python3-{package}.rpm as the RPM name, with the python3 part of the package name. If I add python3 as a name prefix in setuptools, it works, but it changes the egg-info directory to have the python3- prefix as well, which is not what I've seen in other python RPMs in CentOS. Is there a way I can add the python3 prefix when doing python3 setup.py bdist_rpm? Thanks. --John

Setuptools use pip over easy_install when installing through setup.py
by Pokestar Fan Dec. 25, 2019

Dec. 25, 2019

I was running a test program through setup.py, and it threw an error whenever it tried to install a package on a Windows 10 Python 3.8 installation (It worked on mac/ubuntu all versions and Python 3.5-3.7 on Windows 10). However, if I installed the packages through pip instead of easy install the tests ran as excepted. Can installing packages through setup.py go through pip and not easy install, as easy install is deprecated?

Keywords field in metadata: space separated or comma separated?
by Thomas Kluyver Nov. 19, 2019

Nov. 19, 2019

Hi all, The metadata specification shows the keyword field as a space separated list: https://packaging.python.org/specifications/core-metadata/#keywords PEP 566 backs that up, saying that the transformation to JSON should split that field on whitespace: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0566/#json-compatible-metadata However, distutils reads and writes that field as a comma separated list: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/5383956583bb758f3828513bcdd011871f24… https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/5383956583bb758f3828513bcdd011871f24… And setuptools has inherited that: https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/blob/68dbb703705cdd64e25261a6fcc1c0cc96b… https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/blob/68dbb703705cdd64e25261a6fcc1c0cc96b… Given the dominance of distutils and setuptools, and the difficulty of changing distutils, I suspect it's easier to change the spec to adopt their de-facto standard as the official standard. But I'd like confirmation of this, as it will require some changes in Flit. The comma-separated format allows keywords containing a space - like 'orbital mechanics' in the example I was investigating (poliastro). Thanks, Thomas

proposing Python package index upload API spec (potential PEP)
by Sumana Harihareswara Nov. 18, 2019

Nov. 18, 2019

As a new Twine maintainer I've been running into questions like: * Now that Warehouse doesn't use "register" anymore, can we deprecate it from distutils, setuptools, and twine? Are any other package indexes or upload tools using it? https://github.com/pypa/twine/issues/311 * It would be nice if Twine could depend on a package index providing an HTTP 201 response in response to a successful upload, and fail on 200 (a response some non-package-index servers will give to an arbitrary POST request). I do not see specifications to guide me here, e.g., in the official guidance on hosting one's own package index https://packaging.python.org/guides/hosting-your-own-index/ . PEP 301 was long enough ago that it's due an update, and PEP 503 only concerns browsing and download, not upload. I suggest that I write a PEP specifying an API for uploading to a Python package index. This PEP would partially supersede PEP 301 and would document the Warehouse reference implementation. I would write it in collaboration with the Warehouse maintainers who will develop the reference implementation per pypa/warehouse/issues/284 and maybe add a header referring to compliance with this new standard. And I would consult with the maintainers of packaging and distribution tools such as zest.releaser, flit, poetry, devpi, pypiserver, etc. Per Nick Coghlan's formulation, my specific goal here would be close to: > Documenting what the current upload API between twine & warehouse actually is, similar to the way PEP 503 focused on describing the status quo, without making any changes to it. That way, other servers (like devpi) and other upload clients have the info they need to help ensure interoperability. Since Warehouse is trying to redo its various APIs in the next several months, I think it might be more useful to document and work with the new upload API, but I'm open to feedback on this. After a little conversation here on distutils-sig, I believe my steps would be: 1. start a very early PEP draft with lots of To Be Determined blanks, submit as a PR to the python/peps repo, and share it with distutils-sig 2. ping maintainers of related tools 3. discuss with others at the packaging sprints https://wiki.python.org/psf/PackagingSprints next week 4. revise and get consensus, preferably mostly on this list 5. finalize PEP and get PEP accepted by BDFL-Delegate 6. coordinate with PyPA, maintainers of `distutils`, maintainers of packaging and distribution tools, and documentation maintainers to implement PEP compliance Thoughts are welcome.
