09/15/2022, 9:44 AMIn a large repo, that takes a long time, but yeah, it’s not the problem we had in 2.12

09/15/2022, 9:46 AMIt's a small repo, just added a couple of dummy files. I tried with the latest 2.15 too, seems the same. I will let it run over lunch, but something feels wrong.

09/15/2022, 10:56 AMIt looks like you were right, it just takes a loooooooooong time to finish, which I don't understand why. There should at least be a warning in the docs "even for a small project with no dependencies, it will take 10 minutes or so for unknown reasons" 😉 Thanks!

09/15/2022, 1:04 PMOne underlying issue relates to the Python ecosystem. There's no way to know what dependencies a project has without downloading the entire package.
It's honestly a glaring hole I hope PyPA can address one day.

09/15/2022, 2:19 PMCould you put a repro of this in a public GitHub repo? If the sources are dummy files then I assume this won't expose any proprietary stuff. I'd like to verify that this is a pathology of pip, not of pants...

09/15/2022, 2:20 PMBecause with no external dependencies lockfile generation should be trivial

09/15/2022, 2:20 PMSo I'd love to see what's going on there

09/15/2022, 3:24 PMWe also expect performance to improve soon because Pex recently gained the ability to use newer versions of pip, which have performance improvements for its dependency resolution algorithm. We only need to finish wiring that up to Pants

09/15/2022, 4:43 PMHi all, thanks for all the input. I used the version recommended in the docs, I thought 0.dev5 is after .0. Anyway, to the matter at hand, I have to apologize for the confusion - it looks like it was some weird networking issue. For some reason, in the terminal I was using, a http proxy was configured and it behaved poorly. I tried in a fresh terminal and it is no longer slow. So all is good!

09/15/2022, 5:14 PMI used the version recommended in the docshm, yikes! i’ll get a patch out to fix that. thanks. we recently switched to a new docsite strategy, and that mechanism is stale.
