Hi Guixs, I am trying to package "python-ipydatawidgets" which relies on "python-jupyter-packaging" which in turn relies on "python-setuptools". It fails seemingly because the setuptools version is outdated (41.2.0) even if the guix pakage python-setuptools is said to have version 52.0.0 or 58.0.0
To test the version of setuptools I ran: > guix shell --pure [email protected] python python-ipython -- > ipython -c "import setuptools; setuptools.__version__" >Out[1]: '41.2.0' Looking at the source code of setuptools in my store and comparing it to the setuptools source on github I seems outdated indeed. I located the source in the store with > guix shell --pure [email protected] python python-ipython -- > ipython -c "import setuptools; setuptools.__file__" > Out[1]: > '/gnu/store/sd2ic7bpv8fx3imy1j8xcjclx71sv6q0-python-3.8.2/lib/python3.8/site-packages/setuptools/__init__.py' > I don’t understand how this could happen though since the definition of python-setuptools seems just fine in python-xyz.scm ... I pretty knew to packaging so I might be missing something obvious. Any idea ? Cheers, Théo
