pip package not working

[asagarasu]

• the package required to upload our own package, twine, constantly throws an "Command not found" error.
• for some reason, aide_document package cannot be imported even though the version number and license are updated to the correct version

Please see what I wrote here. Don't use twing. When something says"command no found" it means that probably the command is not installed... ie, the program twine is not installed. You need to upload the package using python setup.py sdist bdist_wininst upload as I specified in the ReadMe.

If you want to use twine, you can, just make sure to install it! https://pypi.python.org/pypi/twine

All of us were sure that twine was installed, and uninstalled/reinstalled it numerous times, but it still wouldn't run the command. I tried to manually add the command as well, but I couldn't find it on my computer.

I tried running the python setup.py sdist bdist_wininst upload command after changing the version number, but I keep getting a LookupError: unknown encoding: mbcs in the Python 3.6 distribution itself. The problem seems to be stemming from the entire setup.py file, and I can't localize it (no matter what lines I comment out, it still throws the same error.

I'm thinking that we should just give up on the pip install for now? Or would you be able to try and distribute it from your machine?

First thing to test is see if you are able to distribute anything from your machine. Go ahead and download the funniest package from this tutorial and try to upload it to your own pip account. I can look at it if you are not able to get that running.

I went through the tutorial, and it seems to work exactly as specified - you can try downloading this package and then running

$ python
>>> import pip_pack_test
>>> pip_pack_test.joke()

which should output some joke in German. However, when I try going through the upload process (as detailed in the tutorial) on the aide_document package, it runs into an authentication error. I've tried copy/pasting the password, messing with the .pypirc file, and typing out the password manually, but the error persists at the upload step. Could you try running python setup.py register sdist upload in our repo and seeing if that causes problems too?

EDIT: Nevermind, it seems that the tutorial package that I made doesn't actually work - it just worked when I locally installed it with pip install ..

This happened after running python setup.py register sdist upload on an OS X

Okay - I finally got it to work! Turns out that there was some extraneous stuff in my setup.py file that was preventing python setup.py sdist from packaging the actual code that we needed into the .tar.gz installation file. I deleted everything that I could, made sure that I had packages=find_packages() within setup.py, and then it built everything correctly. Then, I ran twine upload dist/*, uploaded onto pypi.org, and now our import statements work.

Man, that was a pain in the ass. I'll write up a CONTRIBUTING.md to go through the upload process and start using tags in this repo to keep our versions in check.

Thanks! Yeah - it's these kinds of things that take a surprisingly long time 😛
