Python 3.9 cannot install pyopengl-accelerate. Log attached.

[pallebone]

Hi there,

On Debian in a virtual environemtn I cannot install pyopengl-accelerate via: pip install pyopengl-accelerate --log /home/aragorn/log.txt

"python setup.py bdist_wheel did not run successfully."

The log is attached here:

Is this a known issue?

Kind regards Peter log.txt

There were issues with pyopengl accelerate with Mac as well. Perhaps I should just disable it. It is an optional dependency that makes part of pyopengl faster but I don't know if we use those parts.

If we cant get anywhere maybe but I will try fix this underlying issue first as it might help a lot of people.

The error appears to be some weird setuptools/distutils change. On a current ubuntu 22.04 in a virtualenv the install works as expected:

similar tests with venv (vs virtualenv) setting up the virtualenvs and pip on releases 22 and 23 all seem to succeed.

I'm not sure what the AttributeError: install_layout being reported is, but it looks like a mismatch between setuptools and the distutils underneath it. There are reports of similar errors https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36296134/attributeerror-install-layout-when-attempting-to-install-a-package-in-a-virtual which all seem to be addressed with a setuptools upgrade or force-reinstall.

I've attempted to get PyOpenGL-accelerate building using cibuildwheel for the 3.1.7 release. I'm hoping that will make it easier to install on the common platforms.

Hello @mcfletch,

Thank you for responding to my issue. It is appreciated.

I dont understand what you would like me to do. Can you provide more clarification? Are you asking me to use an older version of setuptools and retry or are you asking me to wait for a new version of pyopengl-accelerate and test that?

Im happy to try either direction, please clarify what you want me to do and test.

Kind regards Peter

I saw there was an update to your package and was able to build against 3.1.7 successfully. Please allow me some days to do further testing and I will report back

[pallebone]

Thank you I can now build your package with setuptools 67.8.0 PyOpenGL-accelerate 3.1.7

Kind regards Peter
