7 years ago I noticed there was a bug in my setup.py script. The package name had a latent 'skeleton' for the name instead of the proper project name. After correcting that, the issue went away, likely because the proper project name yg.piistore appears in a different sort order than skeleton. Still, I suspect this issue will exist for some users depending on the order and names of packages and their dependencies.

7 years ago Perhaps this issue is only triggered if the package being installed is a non-namespace package but it depends on namespace packages.

7 years ago I got the same error ('_NamespacePath' object has no attribute 'sort'). I hope the following details of my setup are of some use.
Three packages are in play (although the first probably isn't important). I have anonymised the package names.
acme.foo: This is in a directory on my hard disk, so these are all valid paths:
/path/to/acmefoo/ is the project root/path/to/acmefoo/acme/foo contains the source code for the package/path/to/acmefoo/acme/__init__.py contains (only) the text: __import__('pkg_resources').declare_namespace(__name__)/path/to/acmefoo/setup.py includes packages=["acme", "acme.foo"], namespace_packages=["acme"] (and of course uses setuptools, not distutils).acme.bar: This is similar, plus its setup.py contains entrypoints={'console_scripts': ['ac_bar = acme.bar.main:main']} (although removing this is not necessary to reproduce).acme.baz: This is similar except that it has no setup.py.I installed acme.foo and acme.bar directly by just running e.g. pip install /path/to/acmefoo/. I then change the current working directory to acme.baz, and running pip freeze or ac_bar gives the error.
Some extra points:
/path/to/acmebaz/acme/__init__.py (i.e. the package that was NOT pip installed) stops the error from occurring.setuptools==28.0.0 does NOT reproduce the error.acme.foo and acme.bar with setuptools==32.3.1, then downgrade to setuptools==28.0.0, then run pip freeze in /path/to/acmebaz, I DO get the error. So what is important is the version of setuptools used for pip installation, not the version that is currently active.jaraco
commented
7 years ago If I install, then downgrade setuptools, then run pip freeze, I do get the error.
This behavior almost certainly implicates the changes in Setuptools v31 for pypa/setuptools#250. In particular, https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/commit/7e25fd910d1ff5259c0768d3b54a9bf03bce4279 updated the way that nspkg-pth files are generated - this is where the _NamespacePath objects are created.
But it was only in Setuptools 31.0.1 where the sort error was addressed in pkg_resources. However, as you can see in my traceback, the error is occurring in the vendored version of pkg_resources, which doesn't yet have that fix.
What's interesting and I don't yet understand is why deleting the namespace package declaration from acme (for baz) stops the error. I'm unsure what's happening there, but it's probably worthy of some more investigation.

7 years ago For me the solution was to abandon namespace packages; acme/foo is now acme_foo. There seem to be a few corner cases buried deep in the Python infrastructure (lack of Cython / extension module support is another) and this was the final straw.
jaraco
commented
7 years ago This issue is implicated in these failing tests. Although I had surmised above that the issue might be isolated to non-namespace-packages requiring namespace packages, this example is of a namespace package (pmxbot.rss) requiring another namespace package in the same namespace (pmxbot).
jaraco
commented
7 years ago The issue with those failing tests was corrected by updating the other project to declare its namespace package again.

7 years ago I'm finding this issue is becoming more prevalent and is becoming reliably replicable when running pip install from a directory containing a namespace package when other packages in that namespace are installed and one of those packages has a -nspkg.pth file from build under a late setuptools.
Edit: the issue that led me to post this turned out again to be remedied by correcting a flaw in the package being tested.
MinchinWeb
commented
7 years ago @jaraco pointed me here as my issues (#4309) look very similar to this.
However, in this case, I am trying to install a namespace-d package (minchin.releaser) which depends on another namespace-d package in the same namespace (minchin.text).

orig_path.sort(key=position_in_sys_path)with

orig_path.sort(key=position_in_sys_path)
except AttributeError:
print("BUG: Is it bad if orig_path is not sorted correctly?")Can there be a pip 9.0.2 with this fix only - a newer version of setuptools vendored?
One way to do it would be to branch off 9.0.1, cherry pick the fix mentioned by @jaraco and tag it 9.0.2, release and merge back into master.

7 years ago Is this in master?
No. It was in a branch called hotfix/issue-4216 which was deleted. It looks like b005a9b achieves the same goal.
Is there a pip version that we know is before this problem arose?
Not really. As mentioned above, the problem arose when Setuptools 31 introduced support for setup.py develop on namespace packages, which required the expansion of -nspkg.pth files. This change essentially meant that older versions of pkg_resources didn't support this new format and would choke.
It's conceivable there's an older version of pip that vendors an older version of setuptools prior to where that sort call was made.
jaraco
commented
7 years ago Can there be a pip 9.0.2 with this fix only - a newer version of setuptools vendored?
This is what I proposed with the hotfix branch, which was deleted without comment. If it were my project, I'd want to get a fix out as soon as possible.

7 years ago Upgraded pip to master pip 10.0.0.dev0 (python 3.6) but it still fails (package dvc).
Upgrading setuptools to 35 solved it.

7 years ago In Nixpkgs we solved the issue by updating the vendored pkg_resources to the version provided by setuptools in 36.0.1.

7 years ago @ZhukovGreen's solution worked for me. under /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages, I did
sudo rm -r pip
sudo rm -r pip-9.0.1.dist-infoI made a patch to pip 9.0.1, updating the vendored setuptools, which would fix this issue. If anyone wants to grab a patched pip, you can grab it at https://github.com/pradyunsg/pip/tree/hotfix/9.0.2.
pip install --ignore-installed --pre "https://github.com/pradyunsg/pip/archive/hotfix/9.0.2.zip#egg=pip"PS: I'm not a core developer of pip, just someone who got some spare time to make this patch.

7 years ago I got the same error on 2 computers of 3, but only when updating packages from pycharm 2017.1.4. From the command line pip works without any problems. I use:
Windows 7.1/8.1 64 bit Python 3.6.1 64 bit pip 9.0.1 setuptools 36.0.1
Any ideas?
It seems that pip by way of vendoring Setuptools is triggering the issue reported in pypa/setuptools#885 (and may likely be implicated in the ongoing reports of users experiencing the issue). Here's a traceback that occurs when
pip freezeis invoked bytoxduring a test run after completing thedevelop-inst-no-depsstep.I imagine the only fix is to re-vendor setuptools with 31.0.1 or later.
