python build time dependencies should not be included in the sys.path at run time about nixpkgs HOT 7 CLOSED

I suspect @chaoflow or @shlevy have already fixed this. No python-nose-1.2.1-nix-python-build-inputs.pth gets created here when I install nose, only easy-install.pth

from nixpkgs.

$ cat /nix/store/bnsk2a7i99x783nfdbwih5ykaifi7llb-python-nose-1.2.1/lib/python2.7/site-packages/python-nose-1.2.1-nix-python-build-inputs.pth
/nix/store/nph98gpr2xj255f5vz20y3lgb4cmvra4-python-coverage-3.5.3/lib/python2.7/site-packages

from nixpkgs.

This is with latest nixpkgs (commit 129aa4d)

from nixpkgs.

Yes indeed, sorry! I was looking in totally the wrong place. Checking it out now ...

from nixpkgs.

In the current setup python package buildInputs could either be libraries used for compilation of c modules e.g. lxml or, as in this case python modules which are required for running the tests during build time.

To keep the python modules used for testing out of the installed module we could remove out the line:
createBuildInputsPth build-inputs "$buildInputStrings"

I have a feeling that we included this line because we thought modules required for running tests should be handled separately from buildInputs, but decided not to tackle this issue straight away. Does that sound right @chaoflow? It doesn't seem very useful to me personally to be able to run tests on installed modules. Perhaps the recent support for multiple outputs could help tidy this up.

At any rate, it doesn't bother me if this line stays or gos.

from nixpkgs.

have a look at the python branch:

chaoflow@edd1604

It is broken (see
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.distributions.nixos/10017) but
targets #210, among others.

This week on holiday, back on Monday.

python2.6 compiles again, continuing improvements, like not creating a pth for buildInputs
