Source tarball for PyOpenGL-accelerate 3.1.6 missing on PyPI

[swt2c]

The source tarball for PyOpenGL-accelerate 3.1.6 is missing on PyPI. Wheels are present, but no source.

[EpicWink]

Current workaround is to install from GitHub with Git:

pip install git+https://github.com/mcfletch/pyopengl.git@227f9c66976d9f5dadf62b9a97e6beaec84831ca

And for pyopengl-accelerate:

pip install git+https://github.com/mcfletch/pyopengl.git@227f9c66976d9f5dadf62b9a97e6beaec84831ca#subdirectory=accelerate

[ChrisBarker-NOAA]

well, yes, but that's less than ideal.

Also, there are no version tags on gitHub, so it's kinda hard to get an actual release. There's another issue on that:

#77

@mcfletch: I'd be glad to do some of this bookkeeping for you if you like -- it would be nice to make this easier to work with.

NOTE: At the moment, I'm trying to get a conda-forge package set up, but it's tricky without a simple way to get a source tarball.

Either a source tarball on PyPi and/or a tag to pull from on gitHub would be great.

Future releases could include sdists by default if #84 or #85 are merged

[ChrisBarker-NOAA]

yes -- that's a good idea.

Note -- a decision shold be made about accelerate as well -- I think it should become a default part of the package -- but if not, it needs its own sdist and wheels, etc.

[ChrisBarker-NOAA]

@mcfletch: ping! I'd really like to get conda packages built for this -- again, I, and others would be glad to help with the release bookkeeping if you want. @EpicWink has updated the configuration, so it should be pretty straightforward.

I hope this can be fixed. In my requirements.txt i now have to put a direct dependency, like git+https://github.com/mcfletch/pyopengl.git@227f9c66976d9f5dadf62b9a97e6beaec84831ca#subdirectory=accelerate&egg=PyOpenGL-accelerate , when building a wheel and trying to push that to PyPI, it gets rejected with

HTTPError: 400 Bad Request from https://upload.pypi.org/legacy/        
         Invalid value for requires_dist. Error: Can't have direct dependency:  
         'PyOpenGL-accelerate @                                                 
         git+https://github.com/mcfletch/pyopengl.git@227f9c66976d9f5dadf62b9a97
         e6beaec84831ca#subdirectory=accelerate'

Without the source tarball, 3.1.6 can't build on linux and macos, and 3.1.5 doesn't work either because it generates a bunch of compile errors (apparently its using deprecated types/functions).

So in sum, not having the source tarball means that my package, which depends on PyOpenGL-accelerate 3.1.6 can't be published on PyPI. I assume that others, like @khimaros with p5py (see p5py/p5#395), will run into this too.

Yes, we faced the same issue. pypi doesn't let you have a direct dependency and we need 3.1.6. I hope @mcfletch fixes this.

Has anyone got any other workarounds for this?

[EpicWink]

Has anyone got any other workarounds for this?

@dcnieho @tushar5526 you can build the sdist yourself, then upload it to a public Python package index, and tell your users to use that index (with --extra-index-url).

The source tarball was finally uploaded in January. :-)
