Local python package install doesn't copy package any more? - python

This used to work but I don't know what changed; nothing has changed in this repo for a while.
I have a local python package that I want to install via pip. My source tree looks like:
./local_packages/my-package-0.0.3.tar.gz
and my requirements.txt has only
my-package
I run
pip install --find-links="./local_packages" --target=./python_modules/ -r requirements.txt
This finds my package and installs it in python_modules but I can't import it:
Python 3.6.7 (default, Nov 30 2020, 14:15:49)
[GCC Apple LLVM 12.0.0 (clang-1200.0.32.27)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from my_package import *
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'my_package'
When I look in python_modules I see all of the dependencies of my-package as well as my_package-0.0.3-py3.6.egg-info/ but there is no module for just my_package.
If I downgrade pip from 20.3 to 19.3.1, then I see what I was expecting, with both a folder for .egg-info as well as for the module itself. My import works correctly etc.
Is this expected behavior? Am I missing something?

Modules installed in venv are not recognized

why it does not work? Django.tar.gz is straight from PyPi
if i try "python -m pip install" it works, but installs python globally.
(newenv) [root]# pip install paczki/Django-2.0.7.tar.gz
pip is configured with locations that require TLS/SSL, however the ssl module in Python is not available.

Figured this out. There was an systemwide alias set earlier by someone, which aliased python to a specific path like "/A/B/python", thus even while in venv used python was this one. :which python: might be misleading - id DOES NOT check for aliases, so :which python: and :python: did not pointed to the same one.

pip installed modules and alternate paths

For various reasons, I need to install a python module somewhere outside the default location. pip install --prefix would seem like the right thing, but I'm having problems:
$ pip install --prefix /tmp/foo protobuf-3.2.0-cp27-cp27mu-manylinux1_x86_64.whl
$ export PYTHONPATH=/tmp/foo/lib64/python2.7/site-packages
$ python

>>> sys.path

>>> import google.protobuf
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named google.protobuf
But if I install it in the default location (which I cannot do in production):
$ sudo pip install protobuf-3.2.0-cp27-cp27mu-manylinux1_x86_64.whl
$ python
Python 2.7.5 (default, Nov 6 2016, 00:28:07)

>>> import google.protobuf
>>> google.protobuf.__version__

I assume my invocation of the pip command is wrong, or there is something else I need to do to get at that module at runtime. Any advice would be much appreciated.
The best possible solution for you would be the use of "virtualenv". You can install required packages whose scope will only be limited to the virtual environment. Also it will ignore all the previously installed packages that are already in your main repository. For a quick start, follow this link: http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/dev/virtualenvs/
Use:
pip install --ignore-installed --install-option="--prefix=$PREFIX_PATH" package_name
--ignore-installed is to force all dependencies to be reinstalled using this new prefix. This looks to be the problem you're having. You can use --install-option multiple times to add any of the options you can use with python setup.py install with --prefix.
I am not sure why you want this path to be different. You should probably initialize a virtual environment to keep your modules project specific. However, if this is necessary for your use case, do the above.

python package installed but could not import

I have tried to re-install and got the following message:
Requirement already satisfied: troposphere==1.8.2 in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages (from -r requirements.txt (line 13)
I checked my python version and I could see this as same:
animjain$ python -V
Python 2.7.10
When I try to import a module, get the following error:
animjain$ python
Python 2.7.10 (default, Oct 23 2015, 19:19:21)
[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 7.0.0 (clang-700.0.59.5)] on darwin

>>> from troposphere import Join, Ref, FindInMap
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named troposphere
You should use virtualenv to install dependencies for your project. You don't need to clog global site-packages.
For example:
sudo apt-get install virtualenv
cd ~
virtualenv your_test_venv
source your_test_venv/bin/activate
pip install troposphere
After that you can use your new package.
When you want to deactivate your virtualenv you can run command deactivate
In case you have multiple Python versions on your machine, install with the same Python command, so instead of:
animjain$ pip install troposphere==1.8.2
run:
animjain$ python -mpip install troposphere==1.8.2

Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): pysqlite in /home/maharshi/virtualenvs/p2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages
i also installed it manually at both locations i.e
~/virtualenvs/p2.7/
~/.localpython/ (from where i created the virtualenv)
i also installed "libsqlite3-dev(as suggested by one of the posts)" i.e
sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev
Thank you in advance.
Try doing the whole process again installing python in virtualenv...as i understand when you add the libraries needed for SqlLite it wont affect the virtualenv python so you have to re-do all the steps and it will compile with the required libraries....

How to install libgit2/pygit2 into virtualenv? (Ubuntu)

I have tried dulwich, and GitPython - neither of which seem mature. Now I am trying to install libgit2/pygit2. I have successfully installed them into the host packages environment, but now I need to get them installed in the virtualenv of the app I am building.
Python 2.7.3 (default, Sep 26 2013, 20:03:06)
[GCC 4.6.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import pygit2
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pygit2/__init__.py", line 32, in <module>
import _pygit2
ImportError: libgit2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
>>>
As you can see the current issue seems to be that the globally installed libgit2.so.0 cannot be found from within the virtualenv. Fair enough, that is what virtualenv is about after all,, sandboxing. So how do I go about linking/symlinking/building a version/copy of the libgit2.so for the virtualenv ?
I found the following script in a Gist that - when run while logged into a virtualenv -- will install the current libgit2/pygit2 together there in the venv.
https://gist.github.com/olivier-m/5755638
One note of caution, update the version numbers for both libraries to the same most recent version ( 0.20.0 at this time of writing ).
