soapy command doesn't work after install

Open ojdf opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

Trying a clean install on Ubuntu for the first time in a while. Used the python setup.py install, but when I try to run soapy from the command line I get

pkg_resources.ResolutionError: Script 'scripts/soapy' not found in metadata at '/home/ollie/git/soapy/soapy.egg-info'

hmmmmm - thats odd. I've never seen that one before. I just had a quick go on MacOS and its ok. I've never been that clear on the various Python packaging methods, and have now moved from using python setup.py install to pip install . (in the package directory). Does that work?

Hmm, ok pip install . worked.

I got the following warnings during the install WARNING: Built wheel for soapy is invalid: Metadata 1.2 mandates PEP 440 version, but '0.13.2-70-gf0ab9ff' is not

DEPRECATION: soapy was installed using the legacy 'setup.py install' method, because a wheel could not be built for it. A possible replacement is to fix the wheel build issue reported above. You can find discussion regarding this at https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8368.
