Cannot install f90wrap

[abaillod]

Hi,

I can't install Caoxiang's f90wrap version anymore; What I do:

conda create --name test
conda activate test
conda install pip
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install -U git+https://github.com/zhucaoxiang/f90wrap

I get the following error message:

This happens both on my work computer and on MARCONI. Any clues?

[zhucaoxiang]

I got the same error. This is strange because previously everything was working. I am guessing that the latest version of pip changed something and caused this issue. I will try to revert back to older versions.

I also tried to use pip install f90wrap and got similar errors.

$ pip install f90wrap

I think I found a temporary work around: I downgraded setuptools to a version prior to 60.0. Then, I cloned the git repository and installed f90wrap manually with

python setup.py install

It is weird though; I had the same problem when trying to install pyoculus.

[zhucaoxiang]

Good to know that. So I guess the problem is with setuptools. I guess this is related to the following warning.

setup.py:38: DeprecationWarning:

  `numpy.distutils` is deprecated since NumPy 1.23.0, as a result
  of the deprecation of `distutils` itself. It will be removed for
  Python >= 3.12. For older Python versions it will remain present.
  It is recommended to use `setuptools < 60.0` for those Python versions.
  For more details, see:
    https://numpy.org/devdocs/reference/distutils_status_migration.html

Hi, I am a new phd student at ANU under supervision of Prof Matthew Hole. I got the similar f90wrap error when compiling on Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS: (spec_env) rongpingtang@MSI-069792:~/SPEC$ pip install -U git+https://github.com/zhucaoxiang/f90wrap ........... ........... ........... ERROR: Failed building wheel for f90wrap Failed to build f90wrap ERROR: Could not build wheels for f90wrap, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects

Is there a more detailed work around guide available? Thank you very much!

[abaillod]

Hi,

What version of setuptools are you using? The (ugly) work around I found was to downgrade setuptools to a version prior to 60.0.0, and then install f90wrap. If you are using anaconda, you can try

conda create --name myenv python=3.10 setuptools=59.1.0
conda activate myenv
pip install -U git+https://github.com/zhucaoxiang/f90wrap

@zhucaoxiang - any idea why we can't install your version of f90wrap with the latest version of setuptools?

@abaillod I had an impression it was caused by numpy updates. At some point, I (or some volunteers) should merge our branch back to the official repo. I did it once, but someone else reverted it.

[smiet]

I believe this issue can be worked around by:

• installing from the branch main_off
• compiling with intel (which can also use the upstream version https://github.com/jameskermode/f90wrap)
• for python>3.11 and gcc compilation I have a small fix of @zhucaoxiang's branch: https://github.com/smiet/f90wrap

And also some of the jiggling around with setuptools versions might help (though the deprecationwarning is a warning, and should not be an issue)

This is getting silly and we do really have to fix this at some point. There is some background work going on to update our f90wrap to the upstream, but this for now has low priority.

Closing, but if someone still has issues, please reopen.
