Python package not seeing another Python package

Help
1

I have a python3.pkgs.buildPythonApplication derivation that specifies a bunch of python packages in propagatedBuildInputs,

  propagatedBuildInputs = with python3.pkgs; [
    # [others removed for brevity]
    cx_Freeze
    packaging
  ];

When the build gets to the pipInstallPhase, I get an error about cx_Freeze not finding packaging>=21.0,

Executing pipInstallPhase
/build/cx_Freeze-6.11.1/dist /build/cx_Freeze-6.11.1
Processing ./cx_Freeze-6.11.1-cp310-cp310-linux_x86_64.whl
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement packaging>=21.0 (from cx-freeze) (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for packaging>=21.0

Even though python3.pkgs.packaging.version is 21.3,

$ nix repl .

How is this requirement not satisfied?

Probably answered here already ?

That sounds like what’s going on. So how do I decide which packages should go into propagatedBuildInputs and which should go into the python3 instance?

4

I guess “specific” in this context just means your set of python packages.

5

Putting the derivation inside,

let
  pythonPackages = (python3.withPackages (pypkgs: with pypkgs; [
    packaging
    cx_Freeze
  ])).pkgs;
in

(changing the rest of the code to refer to pythonPackages of course) and it made no difference.

6

Yeah, I don’t think that’s the issue here, packaging is a built-in and therefore always included.

What does your full derivation look like?

7

Right now,

{ lib
, buildPythonApplication
, psutil
, pyside2
, markdown
, requests
, cx_Freeze
, pytest
, fetchFromGitHub
, alicevision
}:

buildPythonApplication rec {
  pname = "meshroom";
  version = "2021.1.0";

  src = fetchFromGitHub {
    owner = "alicevision";
    repo = "meshroom";
    rev = "v${version}";
    sha256 = "sha256-SCinoQMOVg3u8CeUHLCEMBqJtUKBEp/JLDfXIwHU1Ug=";
  };

  propagatedBuildInputs = [
    psutil
    pyside2
    markdown
    requests
    cx_Freeze
  ];

  buildInputs = [
    alicevision
  ];

  checkInputs = [ pytest ];

  meta = with lib; {
    description = "3D Reconstruction Software";
    homepage = "https://alicevision.org/";
    license = licenses.mpl20;
    platforms = [ "x86_64-linux" ];
    maintainers = with maintainers; [ aidalgol ];
  };
}

But after looking more closely at upstream’s setup.py, I think I need to override the buildPhase from scratch, because it is trying to build an executable to be packed into a tarball with some of its library dependency, including setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH (see setupInitScriptUnix.py), which is going to wreak havoc on Nix.

8

Do the dependency libraries really work like that? I didn’t think they were packaged at the top level, so they shouldn’t be getting pulled in by callPackage. It should just fail outright, so I doubt this will fix your issue, but perhaps try instead grabbing them from python3Packages?

My only other nudge is to try debugging using nix-shell or nix develop. It’ll be easier to figure out what exactly is missing if you have full access to the environment.

9

Ok, nevermind me, packaging is not a built-in. I’m wondering if because of the way you’re depending on the packages their dependencies are not being pulled in for the build (since you’re using an application version of the inputs or something). Worst case try also depending on packaging?

10

You are right that the python libraries are not top level. I am using python3Packages.callPackage.

meshroom = python3Packages.callPackage ../applications/graphics/meshroom { };

But I had previously been using the top-level callPackage and putting python3Packages in my derivation’s argument list. I have also tried depending on packaging, and it was not being seen. If I modified the cx_Freeze derivation to depend on packaging, then I got an error from cx_Freeze about the version of setuptools not satisfying its requirement.

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement setuptools<=60.10.0,>=59.0.1 (from cx-freeze) (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for setuptools<=60.10.0,>=59.0.1

Which seems to be correct:

nix-repl> python3Packages.setuptools.version
"63.2.0"

This might be a legitimate bug in cx_Freeze in nixpkgs, but I am going to abandon this line of investigation, because I do not think I should even be using cx_Freeze for something in nixpkgs.
