ptyprocess 0.5.1

[papachoco]

Hello,

I was wondering if we could make ptyprocess 0.5.1 available for [legacy] easy-install installations

Thanks

Carlos

Well, that turned up quicker than I expected.

Why do you need to use easy_install rather than pip?

[papachoco]

We have legacy buildout recipes and that uses setuptools

Vaguely related - the wheel that has been uploaded to pypi does not work with:

wheel install ptyprocess-0.5.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl

It gets a:

Traceback (most recent call last):

wheel.install.BadWheelFile: Bad hash for file 'ptyprocess-0.5.1.dist-info/WHEEL'

It seems to be because the digests in the WHEEL file are hex encoded sha256, rather than urlsafe_base64_encodeed digests.

(My use case is that we distribute a tarball with all dependencies, and just wheel install *.whl from the directory)

[takluyver]

Oops, thanks for pointing that out, I am indeed generating hashes in the wrong format. I guess pip doesn't check them. I was also unaware that there's a separate wheel command line tool.

[tlamer]

Actually I've used pexpect on a machine where there is no pip and I've used setuptools for installation. For my particular usecase it would be more convenient to be able to do "python setup.py install".

[papachoco]

Creating the sdist and loading to pypi would be great

[takluyver]

I have put an sdist up so it doesn't inconvenience people while I think more about it.

If anyone's interested, the stopgap script I used to build an sdist is in a gist: https://gist.github.com/takluyver/7c66429a8e7f2b9388b0

[grzn]

Can you please re-register and re-uploading the wheel? there are tools that download and use the wheel if its on pypi, and doesn't fallback to sdist if the wheel is broken.

[href]

Yes please, I can't use wheels because some dependency pulls in ptyprocess.

[leorochael]

It seems this issue is documenting two separate problems:

1. The lack of an sdist, which has been remedied

2. The fact that the whl file for 0.5.1 is not installable by wheel.

Should we split the issues to make it clearer?

In any case, I'm also having issues with the wheel file hashes.

And on an aside, extracting the wheel on linux, e.g. with the unzip cmdline, causes the dist-info directory files to be extracted with no permissions:

$ ls -l ptyprocess-0.5.1.dist-info/
total 12
---------- 1 leonardo leonardo 1275 Jan  1  2016 METADATA
---------- 1 leonardo leonardo  656 Jan  1  2016 RECORD
---------- 1 leonardo leonardo   97 Jan  1  2016 WHEEL

[leorochael]

With the release of 0.5.2, I guess everything mentioned in this issue (easy_install-ability/presence of sdist; installability by wheel) has been solved and this issue can be closed, right?

Thanks!
