4.5.0: unable to bootstap

[j-ogas]

I am unable to bootstrap with (1) my Cray system python 3.6.15, or (2) the supplemental python 3.10.9 provided via module.

3.6.15

$ python3 -V
Python 3.6.15
$ ./bootstrap.sh
==> python3 -m venv --without-pip /tmp/tmp.bnm6WmPenP
==> source /tmp/tmp.bnm6WmPenP/bin/activate
==> curl -s https://bootstrap.pypa.io/pip/3.6/get-pip.py | python3
==> python3 -m pip install --no-cache-dir -q -r requirements.txt --target=external/x86_64/ --upgrade
/tmp/tmp.bnm6WmPenP/bin/python3: No module named pip

3.10

$ module load python
$ python3 -V
Python 3.10.9
$ ./bootstrap.sh
==> python3 -m venv --without-pip /tmp/tmp.12jqDrcBQR
==> source /tmp/tmp.12jqDrcBQR/bin/activate
==> curl -s https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | python3
==> python3 -m pip install --no-cache-dir -q -r requirements.txt --target=external/x86_64/ --upgrade
/tmp/tmp.12jqDrcBQR/bin/python3: No module named pip

Under the curl command that gets pip for you, you should see something like this:

curl -s https://bootstrap.pypa.io/pip/3.6/get-pip.py | python3

@j-ogas Is curl available on your system?

Yes, however, we sit behind a whitelist firewall and a proxy. Note that proxy variables are set when executing the bootstrap.

FWIW, I can use the 4.4.2 bootstrap without issue in the same environment.

The bootstrap script works differently in 4.5. It starts a pip-less virtual environment and downloads pip and installs it. Can you run successfully the curl command from the machine that you try to install reframe in?

curl -s https://bootstrap.pypa.io/pip/3.6/get-pip.py

Unfortunately it does not, we are behind a whitelist firewall. I suppose I could try and pester our site admins to allow the URL above.

We could ship the get-pip script with reframe and resort to this in the bootstrap script if the download fails.

That would be lovely.
