part_mesh not available

[fabiodelogu]

Dear @inducer,

first of all thanks for this great work of developing pymetis. I am one of the developers of the hydrology system package that you can find at https://github.com/c-hydro . We would like to use pymetis to improve our performances in the computations of the river discharges in our main hydrological model named continuum.

I found that installing the pymetis package in a conda python3.8 environment using pip in the following way: pip install pymetis==2022.1 the package seems to be effected by a problem related to the version because the "pymetis.part_mesh" is not available at the end of the installation.

To avoid this problem, I directly downloaded the pymetis package from the github repository in a zip format and I installed it in the same conda python3.8 environment using: pip install /path/pymetis-main.zip and in this case all work like a charm.

Thank you for your help and support Fabio

Can't reproduce, sorry:

  DEPRECATION: pymetis is being installed using the legacy 'setup.py install' method, because it does not have a 'pyproject.toml' and the 'wheel' package is not installed. pip 23.1 will enforce this behaviour change. A possible replacement is to enable the '--use-pep517' option. Discussion can be found at https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8559

Feel free to comment/reopen if you've got a reproducer. Also, check if you've got a module named pymetis.py floating around which might be getting imported instead. Maybe check pymetis.__file__ to see what's getting imported.

hi @inducer, I noticed that you tried with "part_graph" but this part also work in my case. Did you test the "part_mesh" function too? in any case thank you for your answer and sorry for wasting your time :)

[inducer]

Ah, sorry. I got these mixed up. part_mesh is not part of the 2022.1 release. I should roll a release. I'll see if I can make time for that.
