I'm not able to reproduce this with pip 23.0 and setuptools 63.4.3. Can you check what setuptools version you're using? We may need to increase the minimum version required.

[adamjstewart]

I suspect that this is the same issue as serge-sans-paille/pythran#2196 and we simply need to bump to setuptools 62+, but would like to confirm before fixing.

[adamjstewart]

I'm able to confirm this issue with setuptools 60, but not with setuptools 61.

[robmarkcole]

I have types-setuptools==69.1.0.20240310

[adamjstewart]

What about setuptools?

[adamjstewart]

Also try a newer pip if you can.

[robmarkcole]

setuptools.__version__
65.5.0

pip 22.0.2

[robmarkcole]

Upgraded to pip 24.0 and now Successfully installed torchgeo-0.6.0.dev0

>>> import torchgeo
>>> torchgeo.__version__
'0.6.0.dev0'

[adamjstewart]

Interesting. Could be related to pypa/setuptools#3269 (a system Python installation interfering with pip's build isolation). Unfortunately we don't have an easy way to check or control the pip version used to install torchgeo. If you're happy now that the install works, I think we can close this. If not, you might have to report something to pip themselves and ask when/where the issue was fixed.

[robmarkcole]

Happy to close. I added RUN pip install --upgrade pip to the dockerfile now :)
