Packages with "python" as dependency seem to be broken

Hi! I was able to install Arch32 successfully and it seems to be running fine, I can install packages with pacman and most of them are working. However, packages that have anything with "python" as a dependency don't seem to work.

For example, I tried to install "reflector" with "sudo pacman -Sy reflector". It installed without any problem, but when I try to use it, it outputs an error: "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'Reflector'".
I then removed "reflector" with "sudo pacman -Rns reflector" and tried to build it myself. I cloned this repository and ran "makepkg -s". It downloads and installs dependencies, but then build fails with error "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'jaraco.functools'". It looks like both errors are caused by Python not being able to import modules needed, and indeed, if I run interactive Python interpreter and try to import those modules, it fails.

I tried manually installing "python-jaraco.functools" and then "python-jaraco.context" as dependencies, but then build failed again with a different message: "error: invalid command 'egg_info'", and I'm not sure how I can possibly fix this one.

Any ideas why this can be happening and how it can be fixed?

edit1: corrected a typo

edit2: Ok, I read through this topic on the forum. I see I am not the only person affected by this. For now I will just download Reflector.py and run it manually if needed. Good luck to you guys trying to solve this problem! I really appreciate your work.

Re: Packages with "python" as dependency seem to be broken

When I run "pacman -Ql reflector" i get the following output:

It looks like Reflector.py file was put inside /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages directory, but pacman automatically installs python3.11. I think this is the reason it can't find the module, because there is no Reflector.py inside the /usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages directory. But still, I don't really understand why this happened and how to properly fix it (well, I can try just manually copying all reflector stuff into /usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages, but this is definitely not the intended way to do things and I'm afraid it will break something in the future)

Re: Packages with "python" as dependency seem to be broken

Confirmed:

reflector
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/reflector", line 3, in <module>
    import Reflector
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'Reflector'

reflector is built against Python 3.10:

reflector /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/Reflector.py

Version of python on stable is:

python --version
Python 3.11.3

Reflector requires a rebuild:

pkgctl repo clone --arch32 --protocol https reflector
core-staging-pentium4-build

This results in:

==> ERROR: Failure while downloading https://sources.archlinux32.org/sources … 023.tar.gz

The last version there is https://sources.archlinux32.org/sources … .11.tar.gz, which is way
old.

So I have to adapt https://git.archlinux32.org/reflector32.

Keeping you posted.

seems pentium4 repo is hard broken. kde also fails a lot because have outdated packages wich exist in other repos (i486/i686), also, view the files in the packages section is not present. all needs be fixed

greetings

Yes, python is in limbo. And it didn't get easier to bootstrap with all those installer tools. :->

Re: Packages with "python" as dependency seem to be broken

i just sucessful build, litle by litle, the minimal python setup (installer,build,packaging,wheel, etc) with archlinux python-bootstrap util, and then rebuild same packages with actual sources. zero problems so far (disable generate docs with sphinx and disable test)

why no use it?

Re: Packages with "python" as dependency seem to be broken

I have problems rebuilding packages by hand and then adding them forcefully to the package archive and database.

I also cannot force the build of the package in the buildmaster (our automatic build system).

See also http://mirror.archlinux32.org/irc-logs/ … 08-12.html

The database is referencing null revisions upstream and/or illegal revisions.

Re: Packages with "python" as dependency seem to be broken

Well, this is the build process which is there since 2017 and building the packages automatically. :-)
It's not an alternative build method for the user of Arch32 or so..

Re: Packages with "python" as dependency seem to be broken

Yeah, as usual in a software project the source code is the documentation. :-)

https://git.archlinux32.org/builder/

Those are the build scripts, they call devtools32
https://git.archlinux32.org/devtools32

The database itself looks as follows:

Re: Packages with "python" as dependency seem to be broken

that can work for do cross-build (generate pentium4 packages) in 64 bits machine?

Re: Packages with "python" as dependency seem to be broken

Yes, that's how we build almost all packages, but the i486 subarchitecture, where we run on 486 libvirt.

good clean (build from zero) some need packages bootstraped, other old cpython version (cpython0 in main arch)

builded with makepkg -As --skippgpcheck --nocheck and some pkgbuild tweaks, avoid sphynx documentation in all cases
