[issue13943] distutils’ build_py fails when package string is unicode

[Steve Dower]

Steve Dower  added the comment:

Distutils is now deprecated (see PEP 632) and all tagged issues are being 
closed. From now until removal, only release blocking issues will be considered 
for distutils.

If this issue does not relate to distutils, please remove the component and 
reopen it. If you believe it still requires a fix, most likely the issue should 
be re-reported at https://github.com/pypa/setuptools

[issue13943] distutils’ build_py fails when package string is unicode

[Boris FELD]

Boris FELD added the comment:

I've the same problem today with package 
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/httpretty/0.7.1 but only when I try to install one 
of my project which requires httpretty, if I try to install it directly it 
works like a charm.

pip install httpretty - works
pip install mypkg - doesn't works

Looks like HTTPretty is using __file__ variable in setup.py 
(https://github.com/gabrielfalcao/HTTPretty/blob/master/setup.py#L35) and pip 
seems to pass the file as unicode:

http://0bin.net/paste/dQfsSAmguWNYyY7w#0O/gcrWA44wKicfTdsGT4KqRYhbZLyhN9BUXNQD1XZA=

At the last line: 
__file__=u'/home/lothiraldan/.virtualenvs/test/build/httpretty/setup.py'

[issue13943] distutils’ build_py fails when package string is unicode

[Éric Araujo]

Éric Araujo added the comment:

It’s strange that this would happen when installing as a dependency and not 
when installing directly.  Pip can change faster than stdlib is released, could 
you report the bug to them and see if it’s possible to pass __file__ as a byte 
string?

[issue13943] distutils’ build_py fails when package string is unicode

[Éric Araujo]

Éric Araujo mer...@netwok.org added the comment:

Thanks for the report and patch.  I think distutils was not written with 
Unicode in mind, or maybe even before Python had a unicode type.  Technically, 
http://docs.python.org/distutils/setupscript#additional-meta-data says that 
unicode is not allowed for metadata fields (nothing is said about py_modules, 
packages and the like), but we’ve fixed a couple of bugs related to unicode, so 
I think this is a reasonable request.  Can you post (part of) your failing 
setup script?

This package's setup.py is auto-generating the packages list with the current 
working directory.


def get_packages(directory, prefix):
return a list of subpackages for the given directory
result = []
for package in os.listdir(directory):
absfile = join(directory, package)
if isdir(absfile):
if exists(join(absfile, '__init__.py')) or \
   package in ('test', 'tests'):
if prefix:
result.append('%s.%s' % (prefix, package))
else:
result.append(package)
result += get_packages(absfile, result[-1])
return result

...

packages = [modname] + get_packages(os.getcwd(), modname)

kwargs['packages'] = packages

setup(...
**kwargs)

where modname is imported from __pkginfo__.py:
distname = 'logilab-common'
modname = 'common'


What's interesting is there is no explicit unicode string definition within 
this package list gerneration, yet the final packages list looks like:

['logilab.common', u'logilab.common.test', u'logilab.common.test.data', 
u'logilab.common.test.data.find_test', u'logilab.common.ureports']
