[martindevora]

Describe the bug Can't even install transitleastsquares because batman-package dependency installation reports an error.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: Please use --no-cache to reproduce because pip will use your previously cached versions. python3.8 -m pip install transitleastsquares --no-cache

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Ubuntu server 20
• Python version: 3.7 and 3.8
• TLS Version: 1.0.26

Additional context

python3.8 -m pip install transitleastsquares --no-cache

Is there any workaround to this? Our package depends on TLS and we are blocked now.

Regards.

I retire this issue because it seems something related to PIP instead of TLS. Sorry.

[martindevora]

Sorry, I closed because upgrading pip the installation worked. However, what it did was installing batman-package 0.9, which is far from the batman-package version required by TLS. Therefore I reopen.

[martindevora]

I reproduced this in a virtualenv, in a co-worker local machine and in a server. Python versions 3.7 and 3.8.

[martindevora]

Well. It seems that the newest versions of setuptools are not supporting the way batman is configured in the setup.py file. Downgrading setuptools to 54.2.0 made it work, despite it only installs the 2.4.6 batman version (newest is 2.4.7). However, I think this should be fixed too because TLS might be stuck in the near future.

Sorry I missed this github issue. I think this is a problem with batman package which is still maintained by Laura Kreidberg. I see that a new version 2.4.8. was released on May 24 to fix installation issues. Can you try again? If it doesn't work, can you open an issue in the batman github and tag us?

[martindevora]

Hi. I already saw it as I opened the issue in the repo. You can close this one too.
