setuptools and cythonize about pyav HOT 10 CLOSED

I like to be able to

python setup.py develop

which is a feature of setuptools. The cythonization still has to be done with make, but I think @mikeboers is willing to considering changing that so that python setup.py develop or python setup.py install do a complete install, including cythonization if needed.

@danielballan: We have been Cythonizing within setup.py for a little more than a month now, actually.

@markreidvfx: I can't imagine setuptools being the root of that problem. There is a bunch of awkward logic that doesn't issue the correct warnings when something is missing. Try cleaning the generated sources.

Oh, nice. Thanks!

I investigate a bit more and it seems like a setuptools issue to me, I'm using the system install of python, not a homebrew one, the version of setuptools that comes out of the box on macosx doesn't check for cython, just pyrex here and changes '.pyx' files to '.c" files if it can find it. If I update setuptools they check for cython, and the problem goes away.

Well isn't that obnoxious...

from pyav.

yeah, its annoying, I could see new users running into to this issue.

Would adding

install_requires = ['setuptools >= XXX']

avoid confusion? Version 7 is the latest; I have seen 5.x specified as a minimum version in various other projects.

That would avoid confusion, but I'd rather try to figure out a way around it. I'm more or less okay with jumping through a small hoop so that this doesn't happen (as long as it is documented).

For now, @markreidvfx, we are cool with you upgrading setuptools?

from pyav.

yeah sounds good to me.

@markreidvfx Can you tell me what version of setuptools you had at the time?
