PyPI support

[deajan]

Hello,

I'm currently using your i18n fork as base for one of my programs.
I'm trying to add the git dependency in my requirements.txt file, but I cannot get that to work:

requirements.txt:

command_runner>=1.4.1
cryptidy>=1.1.0
python-dateutil
ofunctions.logger_utils>=2.3.0
ofunctions.misc>=1.5.2
ofunctions.process>=1.3.0
ofunctions.threading>=2.0.0
python-pidfile>=3.0.0
pysimplegui>=4.6.0
requests
ruamel.yaml
psutil
git+https://github.com/Krutyi-4el/python-i18n/archive/master.zip

When I run pip install -r requirements.txt, I get the following:

Collecting git+https://github.com/Krutyi-4el/python-i18n/archive/master.zip (from -r requirements.txt (line 13))

I've also tried URL https://github.com/Krutyi-4el/python-i18n/archive/refs/heads/master.zip which gives the same results.

Since the original python-i18n isn't developped anymore, would you mind to make a git and PyPI release ?

As a side question, since you don't own the python-i18n namespace on PyPI, would you consider asking @danhper to take owernship of the package, so a new release can be done in the original namespace ?

Best regards.
PS: Thanks for the efforts you put into the project

Hi

You're messing the ways of installing from git. Either of these two lines should work:
https://github.com/Krutyi-4el/python-i18n/archive/master.zip (without the git+!)

git+https://github.com/Krutyi-4el/python-i18n

I wasn't planning on publishing the package. It may be a good idea in the future, though.

[deajan]

Indeed, I wasn't using the requirements file correctly.
Thanks for your help.

[deajan]

Mind creating a tag meanwhile ?

[deajan]

Just for the sake of sanity, using https://github.com/Krutyi-4el/python-i18n/archive/master.zip in requirements.txtwill end up with pkg_resources.extern.packaging.requirements.InvalidRequirement: Parse error at "'+https:/'": Expected string_end error.
The same applies when using the git+ form.

The syntax in requirements.txt needs to be:

python-i18n@https://github.com/Krutyi-4el/python-i18n/archive/master.zip

But then pypi package uploads will fail.
Unless you publish your package, one cannot use it in a requirements.txt file for both pypi and local setups.

[solaluset]

Looks like bizarre issue for me. However, I've never worked with PyPi.

[solaluset]

Btw, have you tried using commit hash or tag instead of branch name? Maybe PyPI doesn't allow branches to ensure dependency locking.

[deajan]

Actually, it ends up with the following error message when trying to upload to PyPI

WARNING  Error during upload. Retry with the --verbose option for more details.
ERROR    HTTPError: 400 Bad Request from https://test.pypi.org/legacy/
         Invalid value for requires_dist. Error: Can't have direct dependency: 'python-i18n @ https://github.com/Krutyi-4el/python-i18n/archive/master.zip'

I've also tried following syntax as per PEP-0440 in requirements.txt:

python-i18n @ git+https://github.com/Krutyi-4el/python-i18n.git@0.6.0#8999a0d380be8a08beed785e46fbb31dfc03c605

Ends up the same. Reading PEP-0440, it states

Public index servers SHOULD NOT allow the use of direct references in uploaded distributions. Direct references are intended as a tool for software integrators rather than publishers.

It seems that twine just doesn't allow uploading packages to PyPI with direct references

I'm stuck for now. I only can directly bundle your python-i18n package directly into my app as workaround unless you can publish something on PyPI, even a python-i18n-v2 or so package.

[solaluset]

Hm, I see. I can also suggest another workaround: try adding my repository as a git submodule.

[deajan]

Yeah... But multiplying different dependencies system doesn't seem healthy to me.
Any chance you're making a PyPI release ?

[solaluset]

Published as i18nice 🎉

[deajan]

Thank you for the time and effort you put into this ;)
