Can't install inside a virtualenv about hiredis-py HOT 13 CLOSED

UPDATE: I could install hiredis-py when using a virtualenv created for Python 2.6 (which, by the way, is the default in my Linux installation), but not inside a virtualenv with Python 2.7. Maybe there's something wrong with my machine installations (despite having installed both python2.6-dev and python2.7-dev), but I'm still quite unsure of what's happening. For now, I'll use Python 2.6 for the project, while I can't make hiredis work with Python 2.7 here.

from hiredis-py.

Tested this in a Ubuntu 11.04 VM and I'm seeing the same issue. Installing it in a virtual env fails, where installing it in the global env works perfectly fine. Can also confirm that the build process aborts on build_clib. Unfortunately, I'm not too familiar with the build system: getting it to build with distutils was a challenge to begin with. Debugging something like this is not something where I know where to start..

Yes, that's exactly the problem I had, too... well, I don't have much experience with C/C++ applications, but I'll try to compile it by hand and see if there's some header library missing or something like this... the strange thing is that with a virtualenv with python 2.6 works...

from hiredis-py.

Which makes me believe this is an issue with the distutils that virtualenv bundles, or something similar. You could try moving/copying the install dir for the globally installed version for 2.6 to the dir in the virtual env and see if that works.

from hiredis-py.

As with the virtualenv with 2.6 it worked, I'll create virtualenvs for both versions and compare the differences between them, and see if there's something missing for 2.7. I'll give you a feedback later about the results. Thanks!

Well, it's not something related to python 2.7, but probably related to default python installed or to your distribution. On my Archlinux it works in virtualenv.

Just confirming having the same issue on venv Ubuntu Natty (11.04).

from hiredis-py.

same here

i sense some distutils/setup.py/site.py related stuff (debian tweaks site.py little bit)

just some details about my env:

i dig through the build_clib execution and find out this failure

do you see the path? /tmp/PU2/local/lib/python2.7/config/Makefile? that is the debian site.py tweak..

from hiredis-py.

first tweak is obvious, but is on the virtualenv end of the problem:

# this is the path to your virtualenv
jakub@web5:~$ cd /tmp/PU2/

# this is the UGLY HOTFIX
jakub@web5:/tmp/PU2$ ln -s . local

# now it should work
jakub@web5:/tmp/PU2$ source bin/activate
(PU2)jakub@web5:/tmp/PU2$ pip install hiredis

# ....

# there we are

i will try to find some solution we can put in the hiredis setup.py file..

from hiredis-py.

I had the same issue on ubuntu 11.04. The workaround above worked for me.

from hiredis-py.

Interesting bug. kvbik's workaround worked for me.

from hiredis-py.

This doesn't seem to be an issue on 13.10 with setuptools 1.4.2, pip 1.4.1, and virtualenv 1.10.1.

I tested this configuration for Python 2.6.9, 2.7.6, 3.2.5, and 3.3.3.

Closing this issue.
