setup.py wants to open non-existing file #10

Closed 0-wiz-0 closed 7 years ago

0-wiz-0 commented 8 years ago

setup.py has: with open('README.rst') as f: but there is no such file. I guess it means to use README.md.

Hey @0-wiz-0 – Sorry for the long delay getting back to you.

This is an artifact of the way I have csvtomd building. You'll need to use setup_wrap.py instead of setup.py. It builds the RST file from the MD readme, then runs the base setup.py.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

0-wiz-0 commented 7 years ago

I just tried running setup_wrap.py. It didn't run for me because it wanted pypandoc which is a wrapper for pandoc which is written in Haskell. So to run it we need to install a complete different language. I think that's quite a heavy dependency. My suggestion: please include the generated README.rst file in the distribution tarballs uploaded to pypi, because the file is static anyway. It is not necessary that every installation of csvtomd generates this file from scratch again, that can be done once when packaging a release. Thanks.

I will definitely consider it. Right now the build script isn't properly generating the RST file anyway, so I'm also considering just moving from Markdown to RST. Thanks for the suggestion – I'll keep you posted when I resolve this.

8 years after. Extremely heavy haskel dependency is still in source code. Could you please generate .rst file and make it part of distribution?
