PyScaffold version bomb #1046

Closed barrystyle closed 6 years ago

barrystyle commented 6 years ago

Seems to incorrectly detect setuptools being out of date, causing a cascading set of failures; preventing QRL (specifically pyqrllib and pyqryptonight) from being installed.

Hacking away the checks (and a seemingly obvious git submodule init/update) seems to result in a working installation..?

Could you provide log files about this? We have not seen this in any of our tests or reported before.

cyyber commented 6 years ago

The problem, sounds to me very similar to what Travis was facing few weeks before, even when setuptools was mentioned with latest version.

barrystyle commented 6 years ago

Apologies for the delay, just spun up a DigitalOcean Ubuntu 16.04 VPS to get a log for you guys. I can't get around this (without hacking PyScafford's setup.py to remove the check). pyscaffold.log (putty seems to echo chars a few times by the way)

Hmm.. I think error is similar to https://travis-ci.org/theQRL/QRL/jobs/354971598

Try uninstalling this:

sudo apt purge python-pkg-resources

This should leave you with the python3 pkg resources.

If that doesn't work: To check the manual pkg for python (not python3):

python -c 'import pkg_resources; print(pkg_resources.__file__)'

Then remove it (maybe) sudo rm /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py*

Then attempt to install python3-pkg-resources

sudo apt install python3-pkg-resources

kstuart commented 6 years ago

It's a compatibility issue with setuptools 39, an earlier version should work as a workaround for now, e.g: pip install "setuptools<39"

Should be fixed in the next pyscaffold point release (3.0.2) in the next day or so.

Appears to be fine in master now?

jleni commented 6 years ago

yes, it seems it got fixed. We need to upgrade qrllib and test that everything is ok when upgrading. We are actually a few versions behind at the moment.
