i see, so should i be doing that for all the libs?

it’s a good practice - it will produce much saner builds for you and others in the long run

Medium, as an example of a smaller python usage, has a custom repo (they use github private repo vs bintray) with 22 python deps.

speaking of the release process... i'm not going to get notes out for the next release candidate until tonight.

SGTM. I prefer sorting the process to hitting the schedule.

Thanks again for taking the sorting up.

i see, so what do i actually need to set this up (new to python, am reading up https://docs.python.org/2/distutils/builtdist.html)

also what do u mean by saner builds? we’re locking down the version shouldn’t everyone get the same result?

for python native deps, developer environment can highly influence the outcome of individual dep builds due to reliance on things like gcc, shared libs, etc

so building all your deps in a sane, pristine environment removes an entire class of ‘developer2’s machine doesnt have the right gcc’ or ‘developer3’s machine doesnt have libmysql-devel’ etc

this command is useful for building a transitive set of bdists for a given input from pypi:

pip wheel —no-cache-dir —wheel-dir=/output package==1.0.0 package2=2.0.0

(stupid smart-hyphens)

And the native thing seems to be prevalent since so many shops that do machine learning and analysis type things but not as a profession, use python libs with native deps

yup

and for cross compiling to linux from OSX as we do often, docker seems like a big win

If you are a founder (wink @mysterious-action-44812 ), do yourself a favor and lock down dev machines as early as possible

Or dev environments, with help from folks like @rough-minister-58256

Ridiculous amounts of wasted time for "freedom" thats not really real anyway

I'm completely confused - does anyone get this passing on up2date master?:

./pants test contrib/go/tests/python/pants_test/contrib/go/tasks/:go_fetch -- -vktest_transitive_download_remote_libs_

All 3 selected tests broken for me and afaict these should have been broken since inception

all green over here:

I just don't even

Thanks for testing

something environmental perhaps?

Hard to imagine

It does trip a definite real bug

But via meta-tag scrapes which I can't see how you avoid

I'll have an RB for the real bug at least shortly
