Request to join Python Modules Team
Hi everyone, I would like to join the Python Modules Team, but I am also looking for a sponsor at the same time. I tend to write python, but also use a lot of python tools and libraries out there. So I thought I could start looking around to see what would be useful to be available in the official repos. As a way of refreshing my packaging skills, I started packaging doh-cli. It's DNS-Over-HTTPS command line client. https://salsa.debian.org/comzeradd-guest/doh-cli I'm not a maintainer, so I would appreciate if Relevant bug: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=958448 Relevant package build on mentors, where I've set the "Sponsor" flag already: https://mentors.debian.net/package/doh-cli I've read and agree with the Debian Python Policy. Thanks ~nikos

No. No. Yes. Yes. No.
Pip doesn't provide the python interpreter. The solution is in the traceback
you posted:
("sudo apt-get install gcc python%s-dev" % py3)
File "/tmp/pip-install-b88905i2/psutil/setup.py", line 116, in missdeps
s = hilite("C compiler or Python headers are not installed ", ok=False)
So install gcc and python3-dev and try again.

issues installing psutil with pip in virtual environment
hello, I am running into an issue installing psutil: pip3 install psutil, in a virtual environment. I have upgraded my pip and setuptools with no avail. I am getting this error: https://pastebin.com/2Xb7UN9g Some have suggested installing the python3-dev package. Saying that I require "header" files (don't know what those are). So this means installing that package and creating a new venv, where those files are available. Is there a way to make this install work without installing that package? Is that package really necessary? Does this mean my virtual environments are somehow subject to what libraries are available in my system python installation? Is there some pip installabel package that provides these files? thank you,

Thank you for that piece of info. I was really wondering why all pip installed packages were --user installed. But does this also apply to upgrading pip itself? So if I upgrade pip I would necessarily end up with two different versions of pip? In that case what determines which will be the "default" pip? And will this possibly create issues? Sorry, I am a newbie. > > The Buster (Debian 10) version of PyQt5 does not install the Python > packaging > related metadata, so it not being listed by pip3 is not a surprise > (for the > next release it is provided). Well. Basically my problem is that, with the pip3 version supplied by Debian, it is not possible to install pyqt5 without an error. One apparently needs to upgrade pip (however, this appears to be a bug in the pyqt5 package). > For cases like this, I think the best practice is to work inside a > virtualenv > where you can upgrade pip and install whatever you need via pip with > no impact > on either your user or system python. I will do this then. Thank you very much Scott.
