Error linking uwsgi using pip, missing `libpython3.10.a`

[HectorMenezes]

I'm trying to install uwsgi within a conda environment through pip and getting an error. My distribution is the Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS. Conda version and steps to reproduce:

$ conda --version
conda 4.14.0

$ conda create -y -n test-venv python=3.10
$ conda activate test-venv

$ pip --version
pip 22.3 from /home/hectormenezes/anaconda3/envs/test-venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pip (python 3.10)

$ pip install uwsgi

Error:

The file libpython3.10.a is indeed missing, and I think I cannot replace it with another file in my environment:

$ find ~/anaconda3/envs/test-venv -name "*.a"
/home/hectormenezes/anaconda3/envs/test-venv/lib/tdbc1.1.3/libtdbcstub1.1.3.a
/home/hectormenezes/anaconda3/envs/test-venv/lib/itcl4.2.2/libitclstub4.2.2.a
/home/hectormenezes/anaconda3/envs/test-venv/lib/libncurses++w.a
/home/hectormenezes/anaconda3/envs/test-venv/lib/libtkstub8.6.a
/home/hectormenezes/anaconda3/envs/test-venv/lib/libtclstub8.6.a
/home/hectormenezes/anaconda3/envs/test-venv/lib/libffi.a
/home/hectormenezes/anaconda3/envs/test-venv/lib/libuuid.a
/home/hectormenezes/anaconda3/envs/test-venv/lib/libbz2.a
/home/hectormenezes/anaconda3/envs/test-venv/lib/libncurses++.a
$ find ~/anaconda3/envs/test-venv -name "libpython*"
/home/hectormenezes/anaconda3/envs/test-venv/lib/libpython3.10.so
/home/hectormenezes/anaconda3/envs/test-venv/lib/libpython3.10.so.1.0
/home/hectormenezes/anaconda3/envs/test-venv/lib/libpython3.so

I found some similar files at /usr/lib, but pip gave me another error when coping to environment (failed to set dynamic section sizes: bad value):

$ find /usr -name libpython3.10.a
/usr/lib/python3.10/config-3.10-x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython3.10.a
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython3.10.a

My coworker can also experience this error, how can I correctly create libpython3.10.a? I honestly think I should not be responsible for managing static C libraries, did I miss some step to avoid this problem?

I'm not an Anaconda expert (and I prefer to stay that way), but have you tried if the conda-forge version works?

[xrmx]

On conda use conda not pip please.

[nykcrystal]

I had the same problem. Did you solve it?

Yes. TBH, I don't remember exactly how, I probably just installed via conda. I used to use pip as the default way to install packages, but it's discouraged by conda's docs.
