Failing to install Peewee with Pip

Hi,

currently I am having a lot of trouble installing Peewee. When executing pip3 install -r requirements.txt on a Ubuntu 16.04 LTS I get

You are using pip version 8.1.1, however version 10.0.1 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.

For me it seems related to the fact I do not have the sqlite dev package installed, but I would think this should not be required for installing peewee, or is it?

Thanks in advance!

The same issue here, but on different system. I think it's due to the https://github.com/coleifer/peewee/blob/master/setup.py#L12, which's now always True, and native extensions are always built. @coleifer can it be made tweakable?

The same isssue i guees w/ CentOS 7.5 and python 2.7

Try:

export NO_SQLITE=1
pip install peewee

This will ensure that the SQLite C extensions are not built. They depend on libsqlite3 and the sqlite3.h header file, which you appear not to have installed on your system. Previously, these extensions would only be built if you also had Cython, but since in 3.6 I've added the pre-generated C files to the package, the extensions will be built.

There's a bit of info here regarding the SQLite C extensions: http://docs.peewee-orm.com/en/latest/peewee/installation.html#skip-compilation-of-sqlite-extensions

I may have to revise the build if this is problematic for a lot of users, however.

[coleifer]

I'm planning a new release, 3.6.2, which will use ctypes.util.find_library to determine ahead-of-time if libsqlite3 is installed. If it is not found, the SQLite extensions will not be built. This should make it no longer necessary to use the above environment variable.

[coleifer]

BTW if anyone has a better suggestion for determining if sqlite3 is available, I'm open to ideas. For example, testing compilation of a very minimal C file?

[coleifer]

Released 3.6.2 -- hopefully this addresses the issue. Please chime in with comments if you are still experiencing problems after upgrading to 3.6.2 and I will re-open the issue.

@coleifer there are environments when there's no c compiler installed, so I'd check for this first. For me it failed because it tried to look for python headers, which are not installed as well

so I'd check for this first.

How would you go about testing for the absence of a C compiler?

Latest release is now 3.6.3. Includes test for existence of C compiler as well as a subsequent check for the existence of libsqlite3. Please let me know if you encounter issues.

@coleifer it still tries to build _speedups extension and fails:

@lyssdod -- is there a reason you cannot install the Python headers? Typically it's a package called python-dev.

[0181532686cf4a31163be0bf3e6bb6732bf]

Yes, I know. The reason is I'm using pip download to download packages and install them later, and the target system is kind of embedded environment, which doesn't have headers installed

Hi, I'm also encountering the issue mentioned here on release 3.6.3. I'm using Python 3.5 on Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial, and I have the latest version of python-dev available, and have a c-compiler installed. Attempting to install in a clean environment causes the same issue.

Adding NO_SQLITE=True does allow me to install 3.6.3.
