2.13.4 doesn't get compiled from source by pip

[aptalca]

When I try to install rapidfuzz on an OS where there are no prebuilt wheels, pip installs 2.13.3 instead (compiled from source).

I ran into this issue in the past with other projects and I believe the issue is incorrect pypi cache, where it's missing the tarball for the latest version, so it defaults to the previous version instead.

Here's a log snippet of trying to compile 2.13.4 from source with the --no-binary option:

Using pip 22.3.1 from /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pip (python 3.10)
DEPRECATION: --no-binary currently disables reading from the cache of locally built wheels. In the future --no-binary will not influence the wheel cache. pip 23.1 will enforce this behaviour change. A possible replacement is to use the --no-cache-dir option. You can use the flag --use-feature=no-binary-enable-wheel-cache to test the upcoming behaviour.

While this is not your project's fault, as the tarball is indeed listed on pypi (https://pypi.org/project/rapidfuzz/#files), it somehow isn't found by pip (perhaps pypi cache?).

I don't know how to report the issue to pypi so I'm reporting here in the hopes that you have some channel to communicate with them through, or perhaps a way for your team to force a pypi cache update.

Thanks

Unrelated, but apparently your build always fails (installs the pure Python fallback), which is likely not what you want. Do you have a C++ compiler installed in the container?

Right, the above logs were just for demonstrating the version pip attempts to install. In the actual builds, we include the proper deps: https://github.com/linuxserver/wheelie/blob/main/Dockerfile

For context, we host a wheel repo that our docker images can use to significantly cut down on build time: https://wheel-index.linuxserver.io/

Regarding the broken cache for the sdist: I can reproduce this as well, but I have no way (I am aware of) to force a cache update. I assume this could be reported in https://github.com/pypa/pypi-support or https://github.com/pypi/warehouse.

Seems the cache got updated:

python3.11 -m pip install --no-binary rapidfuzz rapidfuzz==2.13.4

Yeah, they mentioned dns cache as the underlying problem in that warehouse issue, which apparently has a ttl of 24 hours
