Devdeps builds take forever. Any suggestions? #468

Closed matteobachetti closed 1 year ago

matteobachetti commented 4 years ago

Hi, I noticed that devdeps builds take a lot of time to run, because the tox initialization takes forever. I tried specifying the #egg option for every development dependency and, even if it does speed up things a lot if I call pip directly, it does not seem to affect the tox build. Any ideas?

Which packages are you trying to build dev from source?

pllim commented 4 years ago

Also, if you don't really need to test against upstream dev, disable it.

Thanks for your answers. We track astropy, numpy, stingray, pint. These are the packages whose API changes, over time, broke some of our functionality, so I do like to track their dev branches

For numpy -- you can use their nightly wheel. See #462

For the others, I think you gotta build from source still. Unfortunately, I am not familiar with tox. Maybe @Cadair can clarify why it is so slow.

This should not be tox related, just related to the fact those packages have to be built anyway, tox or not. But I think we really want to start publishing nightly or weekly wheels for astropy too, which would help this problem. This shouldn't be too hard to do in principle.

astropy has dev wheel now
