Can't pip install curl_cffi - Getting Unsupported arch error

[plia7]

Hello,

I have iSH version 1.3.2 (Alpine Linux x86 emulator) on my iPhone along with python and pip installed in it. Which I used to install the g4f python package - The official gpt4free repository | various collection of powerful language models. They recently upgraded to version 0.3.2.1 and it appears to use the curl_cffi python package.

I tried to install it in this order:

apk add gcc musl-dev libffi-dev libcurl libcurl-dev pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel pip install curl_cffi

When I try to install it, I get an error:

pip install curl_cffi

Which error is basically this: Exception: Unsupported arch: uname_result(system='Linux', node='iPhone', release='4.20.69-ish', version='SUPER AWESOME May 20 2023 23:41:32', machine='i686')

I also tried to set export ARCHFLAGS="-arch i686" before installing it and trying to install an older version pip install curl_cffi==0.6.4 but I still get the same error.

So I can't run g4f anymore in the latest version. Is there a way to install curl_cffi python package without getting this error in iSH or is there a way to still install and run an older version of g4f where this package is not required?

Thanks.

You can do it that way, but you have to build and use your own webapi.

I think that's too complicated? I rather just use the official Gemini web version which works fine in my iOS 14 webkit.

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/blink-shell-build-code/id1594898306

I've been researching since yesterday and it seems there is an app that offers similar functionality to ish!

[gamelist1990]

https://testflight.apple.com/join/WUdKe3f4

testFlight version [ish]

[plia7]

https://testflight.apple.com/join/WUdKe3f4

testFlight version [ish]

Thanks, the question will g4f will work there in the two apps you found? I think "Blink Shell. Build & Code" won't work on iOS 14 as it appears to require iOS 16.1 (unless there is a lower version where it will work there). A-Shell need to see but I think it might be limited in terms of what python packages you can install on it.

Is the Test Flight link for a newer version of iSH? Won't it have the same issue?

[gamelist1990]

i will try

[plia7]

i will try

Thanks. I was researching too at the time and found these:

Those with lower iOS like 11-14, you might be able to use these apps (if compatible with your iOS) instead of iSH to achieve something similar (I haven’t tried):

• Pythonista 3
• Pyto - Python 3
• aShell
• Any other app that allows you to run and install any python packages

[gamelist1990]

I think it's good, but I think file operations are difficult.

[plia7]

I think it's good, but I think file operations are difficult.

Which one of them? That's what I like about iSH you can mount it to an iOS folder and then if your iOS is jailbroken you can use Filza to browse to the folder where you can drop your py files. Some of them are probably sandboxed and very limited restricting you what python packages you can download or install.

[gamelist1990]

I can tell you that ashell also got the same error as ish.

FYI the creator of curl_cffi said he will try to add i686 musl build of curl-impersonate for Linux in the future: https://github.com/yifeikong/curl_cffi/issues/344#issuecomment-2213570254

But would be nice if we could find an app where it will work in the interim.

[gamelist1990]

There are some apps that can be used on iOS 16 and later.

[gamelist1990]

But when it comes to iOS 14, I think the only option is ish.

What about

Pythonista 3 Pyto - Python 3

?

[gamelist1990]

Python3

[plia7]

Python3

Have you succeeded?

[gamelist1990]

yes

[plia7]

yes

Please share the details. Do you have screenshots or video? What's the link to the app?

[plia7]

yes

@gamelist1990 Hello?

[gamelist1990]

I was able to use this app, but you're on iOS 14 and this probably means you can't use it, so I'm looking for it.

Bumping this issue because it has been open for 7 days with no activity. Closing automatically in 7 days unless it becomes active again.

Can't download it, it's targeting ios 16 and above.

Oh really
