pip package doesn't install its dependencies about rethinkdb HOT 8 CLOSED

Thanks @rockymeza. @wmrowan -- what's the state of affairs with this? I was under the impression that this was fixed (which is why we updated the docs to remove protobuf).

from rethinkdb.

@coffeemug It's been fixed manually on PyPI so anyone downloading the driver using pip should not have this problem. I tried changing the requires option to install_requires but when I re-uploaded the package the pypi web ui did not list the dependency. I will get to the bottom of this.

I switched to setuptools and added the install_requires argument. Running sdist correctly creates a requires.txt file with the protobuf dependency listed. I also added the "register" command to the "sdist" and "upload" commands we're already running. This supposedly uploads metadata like required packages to PyPI yet when I check the PyPI web UI after uploading the dependency is not listed.

@rockymeza Do you have any more insight? I'm far from an expert on python packaging and the documentation doesn't seem to be very good.

It looks fine to me http://pypi.python.org/pypi/rethinkdb/1.2.6-0. I installed using pip and it worked.

Cool, thanks @rockymeza

I've been manually adding the protobuf dependency through the PyPI web ui to prevent installation issues. While this short term fix works for now I still want to figure this out.

@wmrowan I don't know if you've come accross this, but it might be helpful.

@rockymeza You were right all along. Even though the PyPI page does not list the protobuf dependency it installs successfully without it when I use setuptools. Thanks for your help!
