Issue with inclusion of the SALib package wheel

[breisfeld]

Hi, I am using python 3.7.7 and able to install a needed library, SALib, using the following command:

$ pip install SALib==1.3.11

I have created an installer.cfg file for pynsist that contains a requirement for this same version of python

[Python]
version=3.7.7

and have also included the relevant line for the package:

[Include]
pypi_wheels= SALib==1.3.11
...

When I execute

$ pynsist installer.cfg

I get the following error:

...
  File "c:\users\xxx\anaconda3\envs\popkat-env2\lib\site-packages\nsist\wheels.py", line 147, in get_from_pypi
    raise NoWheelError('No compatible wheels found for {0.name} {0.version}'.format(self))
nsist.wheels.NoWheelError: No compatible wheels found for SALib 1.3.11

No errors are raised for any of the other 21 packages in the pypi_wheels list.

Any clues about the cause? Is there anything in the query to the PyPI repository that is causing this?

Thanks.

Kind regards, Brad

Hi Brad. It appears that SALib doesn't currently publish wheels, so pip is installing it from a source distribution (i.e. compiling it on your computer). So far, Pynsist can't do this for you. You can create a wheel locally by running pip wheel SALib==1.3.11 and then use the extra_wheel_sources or local_wheels option in the config file (docs) to use that.
