setup.py chokes on required pkgconfig

NLaws commented 6 years ago

I'm trying to add h5pyd to a project's requirements.txt, however, when pip install -r requirements.txt I get the following:

Obtaining h5pyd from git+http://github.com/HDFGroup/h5pyd.git@v0.3.0#egg=h5pyd (from -r requirements.txt (line 61))
  Updating ./env/src/h5pyd clone (to v0.3.0)
    Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:

Does the version of pkgconfig need to be specified in setup.py (for the setup_requires arg)? If so, which version?

Could be related to https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/1320 - the project requires python 2.7.13.

This appears to be a mac os specific issue with SSL certificates. I was able to solve it by installing python 2.7.15, running the included "Install Certificates.command", and virtualenv -p /usr/local/bin/python env. (The -p /usr/local/bin/python is necessary, as it appears that virtualenv uses the system python by default - which is version 2.7.10 on my mac).

Make sure that python --version is 2.7.15 after install.

Finally, you might have to force pip to upgrade to version 10 if you get a warning about using version 9: curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | python
