Arch Linux User Repository

If you are encountering issues with lyvi-git due to a importlib.metadata.PackageNotFoundError, this is due to the recent update of Python on the main repository from 3.8 to 3.9. lyvi was stored in the directory the directory for python3.8, but, now, Python search ins the directory for python3.9. To solve this issue, juste rebuild and install this package. Do not forget to do the same for python-glyr-git.

Merci beaucoup Poroing

Great to see lyvi still alive at https://github.com/Poroing/lyvi, which I tested successfully.

Best wishes

I adopted this package.

@nobicycle Since the installation error was coming from the setup.py script using a function interns to pip, I decided that the best course of action was to fix the upstream repository rather than make some patch before the installation. As the original owner doesn't seem to be active anymore (old issue and pull requests are not answered) I decided to fork the repository and make the change myself. The PKGBUILD is now fetching the source code from my fork.

I also changed the makedepends array. Since setup.py does not depend on pip anymore due to my fix, I removed it from the makedepends array. I also added python-setuptools to the makedepends array as it should have been there since the beginning.

Is anyone willing and qualified to take this package now stormdragon2976 has disowned it? Being a little rusty on PKGBUILD I would not be best placed, but will take it if no one better steps forward.

In setup.py change req to requirement:

OLD: install_requires=[str(ir.req) for ir in install_reqs],

NEW: install_requires=[str(ir.requirement) for ir in install_reqs],

Then it compiled.

I was lead to this by: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62114945/attributeerror-parsedrequirement-object-has-no-attribute-req

@nobicycle: I have checked the requirements file, and we have all the dependancies it lists. It has failed to install here as well though. I guess they have forgotten to add something to the docs.

Do you know what would provide str(ir.req)? I did a quick search but didn't find anything useful.

Hi,

@sicariusnoctis: Thanks, added to the PKGBUILD.

If you receive the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 3, in <module>
    from pip.req import parse_requirements
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pip.req'

Paste the following line into the PKGBUILD above the call to python setup.py install --root=$pkgdir:

sed -i 's/from pip.req/from pip._internal.req/' setup.py

More info: https://github.com/ok100/lyvi/issues/51

This now requires a change to successfully build against python3.7. It should be fixed upstream to be compatible with different python versions, but in the meantime if anyone has trouble here is what I did.

In setup.py, line 3, change 'pip.req' to 'pip._internal.req'

Than build the package with the --no-extract option, 'makepkg -e'. This could also be accomplished with a patch I suppose, but I think I will report this upstream so this workaround is not required.
