setup.py file missing? #45

Closed nlwagner closed 6 months ago

nlwagner commented 6 months ago

Title explains it. I've both cloned the repository and downloaded the repository as a zip file and I can't find the setup.py file. I've searched in every directory within TidalPy and made sure setuptools was installed. I think I might be missing something obvious, but until it's revealed to me I'm still very unsure where it might be.

I created a new conda environment to run this all under. A summary of commands run thus far are:

conda create -n tidalpy python=3.9 conda activate tidalpy git clone https://github.com/jrenaud90/TidalPy.git cd TidalPy

I feel embarrassed opening up this issue because it's so simple but any help is appreciated.

Hey @nlwagner!

No need to be embarrassed, it is quite odd but having no setup.py was actually done intentionally. It complies with the revamp to packages started with PEPs 518 and 621, as well as changes to setuptools. These changes actually remove the need for a setup.py for purely python packages.

However, all of this is a moot point: the newest version of TidalPy (v0.5.0; introduced by PR #46) returns setup.py as TidalPy now needs to compile C files and this is not well supported by a pure pyproject.toml approach.

When v0.5.0 goes live (on 2024-02-14; so hopefully now as you read this depending on your timezone and any last minute issues), I highly recommend using it. I also recommend installing TidalPy from pip rather than from the repo itself. Pip will, hopefully, find a prebuilt wheel that matches your environment requirements and save you a lot of hassle dealing with compile issues.

python -m pip install "TidalPy>=0.5.0"

Let me know if this helps!

Re-opening just in case you run into any more issues.

Great! Thanks for your help. I have the Demos running currently, minus some dependency packages like Burnman that I neglected to install.
