Error when building SAS module python-sasctl from source code

[Vincent_vD]

I am trying to build the SAS python-sasclt module https://github.com/sassoftware/python-sasctl but I get the following errors:

Collecting python-sasctl
WARNING: Generating metadata for package python-sasctl produced metadata for project name sasctl. Fix your #egg=python-sasctl fragments.
Requirement already satisfied: pandas in /usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages (from sasctl) (1.1.0)

Collecting packaging (from sasctl)

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement packaging (from sasctl) (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for packaging (from sasctl)

I have no idea how to fix that, what does "from versions: none" mean or "No matching distribution found" for that matter?

I am building on Suse Linux Enterprise Server (SLES)12 SP5, because the target Viya 3.5 servers are running SLES 12 SP5.

thx,

Vincent

Hey Vincent,

Can you post the command that you're using to build the package?  And which version of Python you're using.

[Vincent_vD]

Hi jlwalker,

$ /usr/local/bin/python3 -V
Python 3.8.1

$ pip3 -V
pip 19.2.3 from /usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pip (python 3.8)

We use the a-a-p building environment (http://www.a-a-p.org/index.html) to build our internal sw packages from sources. So here I use the tarball python-sasctl-1.7.1.tar.gz. The actual command I use is:

/usr/local/bin/pip3 install --no-index --find-links=distfiles $(PORTNAME) --root=$PKGDIR

where $(PORTNAME) = python-sasctl  and  $PKGDIR = pack . 

thanks for the help,

Vincent

Hey Vincent,

Thanks for providing those details.  I think the issue is that the package name you're providing to pip isn't correct ("python-sasctl" is the name of the GitHub repository, but the actual Python package is just called "sasctl"). 

Can you try running with

$(PORTNAME) = sasctl 

/usr/local/bin/pip3 install --no-index --find-links=distfiles sasctl --root=pack python-sasctl-1.7.1.tar.gz

If that still doesn't work, can you run with increase verbosity and post the output so we can debug in more detail:

/usr/local/bin/pip3 install -vvv --no-index --find-links=distfiles sasctl --root=pack python-sasctl-1.7.1.tar.gz

Thanks,

Jon

Morning Jon,

thanks so far, but that just did not do it yet:

Hey Vincent,

I  just realized that when pip complains about not finding "packaging" it's actually referring to the "packaging" module:

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement packaging (from sasctl) (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for packaging (from sasctl)

The packaging module (https://pypi.org/project/packaging/) is a prerequisite for sasctl, along with pandas, requests, pyyaml, etc.  From the logs, it appears that your environment already has all of those prerequisites installed, except for packaging:

Requirement already satisfied: pandas in /usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages (from sasctl) (1.1.0)
Requirement already satisfied: scikit-learn in /usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages (from sasctl) (1.0.1)
Requirement already satisfied: requests in /usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages (from sasctl) (2.23.0)
Requirement already satisfied: pyyaml in /usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages (from sasctl) (5.3.1)
Collecting packaging (from sasctl)

Try installing the packages module first or making its source archive available to pip during install.

Hey Jon,

>I  just realized that when pip complains about not finding "packaging" it's actually referring to the "packaging" module

😊of course, I missed that one too. 🙄

OK, I added the "package" module as a requirement, but then the next req pops up during build/install: joblib. And that might not be the last one. I will continue and let you know how I advance.

Thx,

Vincent

Hi Jon,

I was out of office for a few days. Status: still some pre-reqs popping up, continuing.
