Failing install with latest setuptools (fails due to use_2to3 no longer supported)

[aaronsteers]

This option has dropped support: pypa/setuptools#2769

Failing builds downstream, such as in our project: https://gitlab.com/meltano/sdk/-/issues/213

Pending one-liner PR here: #91

Having the same issue on an Google App Engine deploy, not able to deploy a new version until this is fixed.

Happy to help, will probably have some time this week if needed. Just a bit worried with a the release pace of the project.

[aaronsteers]

I noticed VerdigrisTech has a more active fork in the Network graph: https://github.com/VerdigrisTech/simpleeval

However they don't accept issues so I opened a draft PR in attempt to start a conversation there: VerdigrisTech#2

Here, or there, would much appreciate anyone's support on this. I have zero familiarity with 2to3 or how difficult it would be to remove that option.

[aaronsteers]

FWIW, tests here are passing: aaronsteers#2

That fork was created from the more active VerdigrisTech fork but it otherwise only changes setup.py and the GitHub workflow yml matrix.

We have the same issue. Pinning setuptools to <58.0 solves this issue for now, but is not the solution in the long run. @danthedeckie Are you willing to accept PR's to this repo or have you stopped maintaining?

Hi @danthedeckie, can you please take a look at this. It breaks all new installations of the Frictionless Framework - https://framework.frictionlessdata.io/. Your help is really appreciated.

For those that don't want to pin setuptools just replace simpleval in your requirements file with git+git://github.com/graingert/simpleeval@acd8455dec557d551aae1b37b708eb7cd025b03b to pick up the patch.

Do we know if PyPi accept a publish with the git ref? I believe git refs in general are disallowed but I don't know if that changes when using a commit ref, as in the above.

I tried to use a direct git ref in setup.py and it failed on CI during installation

[chris48s]

In a requirements.txt you can use git+git://github.com/graingert/simpleeval@acd8455dec557d551aae1b37b708eb7cd025b03b

In a setup.py the format is a bit different: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0508/#examples

Untested, but I think the equivalent for a setup.py would be:

install_requires = [
  'simpleeval @ https://github.com/graingert/simpleeval/archive/acd8455dec557d551aae1b37b708eb7cd025b03b.zip',
]

Thanks @chris48s!

This syntax seems to be working. The one that had failed was simpleeval@git+https://[email protected]/roll/simpleeval@e2b37a96169a219613e1ffff3f38769d682e8596#egg=simpleeval

No, the one above also doesn't work:

https://github.com/pypa/gh-action-pypi-publish

HTTPError: 400 Bad Request from https://upload.pypi.org/legacy/
Invalid value for requires_dist. Error: Can't have direct dependency: 'simpleeval @ https://github.com/roll/simpleeval/archive/e2b37a96169a219613e1ffff3f38769d682e8596.zip'

[shearer12345]

Thanks @Norbo11 and @chris48s .

if you're using pyproject.toml (poetry) then the syntax is:
simpleeval = { git = "ssh://[email protected]/graingert/simpleeval.git", rev = "acd8455dec557d551aae1b37b708eb7cd025b03b" }

[istrupin]

For Pipenv, the syntax for the pipfile looks like:

simpleeval = {editable = true, ref = "acd8455dec557d551aae1b37b708eb7cd025b03b", git = "https://github.com/graingert/simpleeval"}

[Timost]

update #91 has been merged so :
simpleeval = { git = "ssh://[email protected]/graingert/simpleeval.git", rev = "acd8455dec557d551aae1b37b708eb7cd025b03b" }

no longer works and one should use instead in pyproject.toml (poetry):

simpleeval = { git = "https://github.com/danthedeckie/simpleeval.git", rev = "8943b7f828f2fd610fd8546d474227041ecd494a" }

Hi,
I could install it with
git+git://github.com/graingert/simpleeval@acd8455
but I want to install another package that depends on simpleeval and it fails

I think the URI requirement is missing a fragment hinting pip it satisfies the simpleeval package like

git+git://github.com/graingert/simpleeval@master#simpleeval

We created a PyPI package with the use_2to3 fix because we need it for our pdf reporting framework ReportBro. Maybe it is also useful for others:
https://pypi.org/project/reportbro-simpleeval/

[roll]

It's now merged. Can you please release it on PyPi?

[n1ngu]

0.9.11 has been just released and installs just fine with latest setuptools 🎉

Everyone can stop pinning git commits and forks. @aaronsteers would you mind closing the issue?

Thanks everyone for the collaboration, specially @graingert for the prompt fix.

[aaronsteers]

Confirmed! Thanks everyone! 🎉
