Can't install with poetry using latest python alpine Docker image

[erincerys]

Hi,

I'm running a container with the latest version of alpine and python: python:alpine. You can see this for yourself in said base image's Dockerfile.

I manage python module dependencies with poetry, which is also the latest version: 1.11.13.

I'm not installing make, as I expect a pre-compiled wheel to be available for musl and my architecture. I run this container on both x86 and aarch64, and do see the appropriate wheels on the PyPi downloads page.

Yet, I get an error indicating PyNaCl is attempting to be built. This is on x86_64:

#0 57.97   Command ['/usr/local/bin/python', '-m', 'pip', 'install', '--no-deps', '/root/.cache/pypoetry/artifacts/44/39/5f/2d2c436102b9571756ceb2e7665194c5

I ended up using the workaround described in #696, and that's resolved it for now. Any idea what the problem here is?

(I've been reading other similar issues and saw y'all recommend installing the package from system repos, but I'm wary of doing this, as I'm not sure what poetry's behavior is. Will it try to install anyway? What if repos and pip are desync'd with pip having a newer version?)

We do publish musllinux wheels for this package. I don't know anything about poetry. If this were pip I'd ask: What version of pip are you using? Have you tried upgrading to the latest version of pip?

https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry/issues/5225 suggests that maybe this is a poetry bug.

[alex]

Yeah, this seems to be a poetry bug so I'm closing in favor of that.
