@mkoeppe the build on conda fails, but passes in the "Build & Test" workflow. In fact, there I don't see any recompilation of the cython files changed in this PR (e.g. category_singleton.pyx). Could you please have a look. Thanks

Cannot add an init file. sage.categories is a PEP-420 namespace package.

Happy to hear your alternative solution.

I'll be happy to walk you through #35095

Thanks, maybe later, for now it would be enough if you tell me how you broke this particular cyclic import.

@mkoeppe can you please explain why adding the init file here is not okay but the one you add in #37185 is okay? In both cases the package seems to be shipped by only a single distribution and doesn't need PEP-420.

the package seems to be shipped by only a single distribution

No, that's not true for sage.categories. How did you get this impression?

Which other distribution is shipping parts of categories?

You are asking for info that you know how to obtain.

I didn't find another one, that's why I am asking...

It's very strange that you should claim you didn't find another one.

It's public knowledge that you know at least 1 way how to look for them, namely by looking for files src/sage/categories/all_*.py:

In Restructure sage.*.all for modularization, replace relative by absolute imports #36676, one of the tickets that have been blocked for months by your abusive actions, you have declared that you don't like these files Restructure sage.*.all for modularization, replace relative by absolute imports #36676 (review)

mkoeppe · 2023-12-06T07:46:14Z

As explained - can't add __init__.py files.

tobiasdiez · 2023-12-06T17:03:27Z

As explained - can't add __init__.py files.

I'm still waiting for an explanation from you on how to fix these cyclic imports without the init files (and why one cannot reintroduce init files).

That's not the duty of the reviewer.

(and why one cannot reintroduce init files).

As both of us know, I explained it to you over in #36753 (comment): We need the namespace packages for the modularization -- which is why we removed the init files.

Well you claimed to have a fix....

You didn't explain anything here or there.

We need the namespace packages for the modularization.

Not true, all tests are passing perfectly fine here.

-- which is why we removed the init files.

The records show that they were removed because "There is no technical need for any of the empty init.py files. You can remove them." (#35100 (comment)). Well, here is a technical need to reintroduce one of them.

You are not reintroducing an empty __init__.py file.

Here not, but in #36753 I do.

I also don't understand why it's important (for the modularization) whether the init file is empty or not.

mkoeppe · 2023-12-08T16:38:51Z

I also don't understand why it's important (for the modularization) whether the init file is empty or not.

PEP-420 namespace packages do not have __init__.py files.

You may want to read the documentation. https://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/developer/packaging_sage_library.html

tobiasdiez · 2023-12-08T16:51:53Z

I also don't understand why it's important (for the modularization) whether the init file is empty or not.

PEP-420 namespace packages do not have __init__.py files.

I know that. But there is no universal law that tells us that we need to use namespace packages, right?

You were emphasizing that empty init files are special. In which regard are they special?

mkoeppe · 2023-12-08T16:56:00Z

You were emphasizing that empty init files are special.

I didn't.

@kcrisman Responding to your suggestion in https://groups.google.com/g/sage-devel/c/IgBYUJl33SQ/m/ciVrZ7x0AQAJ:

I confirm my vote of -1 on this PR.

This PR does not solve an important problem, and reintroducing __init__.py files conflicts with the documented design of the modularized Sage library, in which PEP-420 implicit namespace packages have a central role.
In an escalation over the attempted re-introduction of empty __init__.py files in #36753, this PR here cements an obstruction, making sage.categories an ordinary (non-namespace) package. This already causes failures seen here in the Build & Test CI, section "Test modularized distribution":
