I install caribu with conda using :
conda install -c fredboudon alinea.caribu

everything is okay, i can import it without trouble

Then installing an alinea module in develop mode (python setup.py develop) , result in a import error for caribu:

In [1]: import alinea.caribu

ModuleNotFoundError Traceback (most recent call last)
in
----> 1 import alinea.caribu

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'alinea.caribu'

But the following works:

import openalea
import alinea.caribu

Any clues ?

With install of caribu package, installation fail with "python setup.py develop" with message error "No module named win32gui".

Every thing is fine, after installation of pywin32 package.

Probabily is right to add pywin32 as dependacie to deploy package on window OS ?

Add conda support to OpenAlea.Deploy.
Follow the same guidelines used for VirtualEnv:

• Modify util.py:
  • add is_conda_env()
  • modify check_system()
  • update the code of the different functions
• Modify install_lib.py
  • do not depends on eggs
• Modify command.py to manage correctly conda env

Add CI with travis and appveyor
Build the doc with readthedoc
Automatically build conda package on Linux, Windows & Mac

When deploy is used in Conda, some modifications have to be done:
i. The scons step can be done by setting an appropriate build_prefix
ii Specific features of deploy have to be conserved (share data, create_namespace, ...)
iii.Other have to be disabled (update env variables, .openalea.sh creation, use of lib_dir, include_dir, bin_dir, ...)

The command:
python setup.py install
fail for a binary package (e.g. github.com/openalea-incubator/caribu).

The failure takes place on a conad env.

With conda, deploy is not as usefull.
The main two functionalities are :

• the management of python setup.py develop for binary packages
• the installation of shared data
• the integration of scons or cmake with setup.py

Remove all the uneeded code and update deploy to be closer to conda

openalea.sh is global and does not respect conda environments. For example it sets the libray_path to another conda env.

Use environment variables to install libs on Windows during a conda build

Conda install do not install lib and include in conda file system.
All the files stay in the egg.
The .openalea.sh is modified and deploy try to copy the libs in /usr/local/lib on Mac.

See #2

dependency_builder.py is not anymore Python 2.7 compatible.
The package openalea.deploy can not be installed on Linux.

Replace all the call of path.py by using the std pathlib functions

Check for Python 3 support
Publish the py3 package on conda channel

SetupTools provides find_package.
We can implement the same to find openalea package containing wralea.py files

This circular dependency can be removed by introducing explicitly "path.py" as a dependency

I created a conda environment 'toto' (with conda version 4.8.3) in which I installed Python 3.7, alinea.astk alinea.caribu openalea.lpy openalea.mtg from the channels conda-forge and fredboudon.

Then, I installed adel. Adel's installation created the following file in my conda environment envs\toto\etc\conda\activate.d\openalea.bat.
This file seems to have been created by openalea/deploy/environ_var.py
The batch is called when activating my environment toto, leading to the following message.

(base) C:\Users\mngauthier\Documents\Marion_These\WheatFspm\adel>conda activate toto
C:\Users\mngauthier\Documents\Marion_These\WheatFspm\adel>############ Configuration ############
'############' n’est pas reconnu en tant que commande interne
ou externe, un programme exécutable ou un fichier de commandes.
-z était inattendu.
C:\Users\mngauthier\Documents\Marion_These\WheatFspm\adel>if [ -z "$PATH" ]; then
C:\Users\mngauthier\Documents\Marion_These\WheatFspm\adel>

The consequence is that I can not activate my environment.
However, deleting 'etc\conda\activate.d\openalea.bat` solved the issue.

I am preparing the conda-forge recipe for this package, but in order for it to reflect the most recent version (2.1.6), there will need to be a .tar.gz release for 2.1.6 (the most recent one is 2.1.1).

Should I just using 2.1.1 or can a release be made for 2.1.6?

In util.py, their is a use of pkg_resources

Port to importlib instead : see https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/pkg_resources.html

Use :importlib.resources,
importlib.metadata, and
packaging

python setup.py install fail on conda with packages which have binary dependencies.

Install libraries, binaries and include with scons install prefix=$CONDA_PREFIX to be sure to install everything correctly.

Problem will be to uninstall already installed libs.

There is an error when building a package with setup.py in a CONDA environment.
The PREFIX variable is not defined.
