PyPI package lack support for Python > 3.5 #29

Closed allxone closed 4 years ago

allxone commented 4 years ago

I'm having some issues building one of my ROS packages that includes your PyPI sense-emu package for testing. The problem looks to be related with the lack of support for Python 3 versions greater than 3.5 (3.6 looks to be the minimum required by the ROS buildfarm). I tested your package with Python 3.6 without any issue and I was also able to let sense-hat and sense-emu being included into the rosdep official index via #25892. I'm now stuck in the pre-release buildfarm process of my sensehat_ros package apparently due to this lack of support.

What is required to happen to include Python 3.6 and above into the PyPI programming languages list?

Thanks, Stefano

There's no reason you can't use it with Python 3.6. When the project was created, Raspbian shipped with Python 3.5 so I guess at the time it could only claim to support up to 3.5. But it's been used by many on 3.7 as that's what in the current Raspbian.

Sorry, my fault. The issue is not related to the specific version of Python supported. I wrongly supposed the ROS release process would allow for pip package dependencies but this is not possible because they target to create Debian packages (cfr. https://github.com/ros-infrastructure/ros_buildfarm/issues/764).

Thanks Ben for your support, Stefano
