On April 5, 2020 your dependency pyparsing released version 3.0.0a1 to PyPI

https://pypi.org/project/pyparsing/#history

You might have guessed this from the version number, but it dropped python2 support

Version 2.4.5 - November, 2019
------------------------------
- NOTE: final release compatible with Python 2.x.

The way I hit this is by trying to do a manual python setup.py install of Ansible on a fresh RHEL7 machine. This results in the error:

The requirements for the ansible package are:

https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/requirements.txt

# Note: this requirements.txt file is used to specify what dependencies are
# needed to make the package run rather than for deployment of a tested set of
# packages.  Thus, this should be the loosest set possible (only required
# packages, not optional ones, and with the widest range of versions that could
# be suitable)
jinja2
PyYAML
cryptography
packaging

This is passed into its setup.py file install_requires option, mostly as-is (it might remove the cryptography dependency but nothing that would matter).

It's totally fine if you want to remove python 2 support #305, but it would be nice to have a final python 2 version that will keep working, and the lack of maximum version pins of dependencies is going to create a big problem for anything trying to keep an environment on life support still working.

Exactly how to do the pin is tricky, the minimum pin is:

install_requires=["pyparsing>=2.0.2", "six"], # Needed to avoid issue #91

You could add an entry with pyparsing<3.0; python_version < '3.0'. That won't work with all versions of pip and setuptools, or you could add code to handle more cases. These decisions are why I am filing an issue and not creating a PR.

Packaging needs to remain compatible with Python 2.7 until pip drops support (pypa/pip#6148), so we should update the dependency to be pyparsing>=2.0.2,<3.0 and add a note in #305 to remove it once that issue is resolved.

I don't think we need the <3.0 constraint.

pyparsing has correctly declared Requires-Python in their metadata, so any reasonably modern versions of pip will respect this metadata and function properly. For the 3.0.0a0 release, they've set it to >= 3.5 which will exclude Python 2.

OP is using python setup.py install, which will attempt to install the dependencies using easy_install, which isn't going to respect the Requires-Python metadata. It's also trying to install a pre-release despite that being against the ordering behavior described by PEP 440 (the version standard).

easy_install and setup.py install are both on-their-way-to-deprecation in favor of pip (pypa/setuptools#917, pypa/setuptools#2088 (comment)). I don't think that this is an issue that needs fixing in packaging's dependency declarations.

yeah, that's a fair point. Their github didn't tag the pre-release the same as the other ones, but PyPI release page reflects that python 2 isn't allowed. I see the argument for wanting the dependency resolver to handle this instead.

pip's current resolver should handle this just fine TBH (as long as it doesn't see a pyparsing >= 3.0 constraint/requirement basically).

I am about to push out pyparsing 3.0.0a2 as another pre-release. Let me know if there are any additional steps I need to take. (The most recent Py2-compatible version is 2.4.7, released last December in April 2020.)

mattclay added a commit to mattclay/ansible that referenced this issue Jun 15, 2020
The upcoming pyparsing 3 release will require Python 3.5 or later, see:

pypa/packaging#313

Unfortunately pip 8.x and earlier versions do not support python version requirements, which is why this constraint is needed.

@ptmcg Nothing needed -- I think w.r.t. this issue, pyparsing doesn't really need to change any of the declared metadata. All's good on pyparsing's side. :)
