Pipx error

[Wh1t3Rabyt3]

Hi community!

I tried to install gitfive on Debian ARM 64 using pipx.

However, the package seems to be not available through pipx:

pipx install gitfive
Note: Dependent package 'charset-normalizer' contains 1 apps
  - normalizer
Note: Dependent package 'httpx' contains 1 apps
  - httpx
Note: Dependent package 'imagehash' contains 1 apps
  - find_similar_images.py
Note: Dependent package 'numpy' contains 2 apps
  - f2py
  - numpy-config
Note: Dependent package 'markdown-it-py' contains 1 apps
  - markdown-it
Note: Dependent package 'pygments' contains 1 apps
  - pygmentize
Note: Dependent package 'unidecode' contains 1 apps
  - unidecode

No apps associated with package gitfive. Try again with '--include-deps' to include apps of dependent packages, which are listed above. If you are attempting to install a library,
pipx should not be used. Consider using pip or a similar tool instead."

Then, I tried with --include-deps. I got the logs below:

pipx install --include-deps gitfive
⚠️  Note: normalizer was already on your PATH at /usr/bin/normalizer
⚠️  Note: f2py was already on your PATH at /usr/bin/f2py
⚠️  Note: pygmentize was already on your PATH at /usr/bin/pygmentize
  installed package gitfive 1.1.9, installed using Python 3.11.2
  These apps are now globally available
    - f2py
    - find_similar_images.py
    - httpx
    - markdown-it
    - normalizer
    - numpy-config
    - pygmentize
    - unidecode
done! ✨ 🌟 ✨

I have lot of other packages installed through pipx and directly accessible from the user path (thx to pipx ensurepath). However, gitfive is not accessible and seems to not be a package.

Can you help me please ?

Hey, the package exists : https://pypi.org/project/gitfive/

same problem as Wh1t3Rabyt3.

The wheel package on PyPI is missing the entry_points.txt file Clone the repository and run:

pip install build
python -m build
pipx install dist\gitfive-1.1.10-py3-none-any.whl

OR if you want to fix the pre-existent wheel package: Go to PyPI -> Download Files -> Download the latest wheel package Create a new file anywhere called entry_points.txt which contains:

[console_scripts]
gitfive=gitfive.gitfive:main

Open the .whl package inside something like WinRAR or 7-Zip Navigate to gitfive-1.1.9.dist-info and place the .txt file inside ofi t Run pipx install gitfive-1.1.9-py3-none-any.whl

This'll give you a gitfive.exe you can use globally 👍🏼

Option 1 — Rebuild wheel locally

Clone the GitFive repo:

• git clone https://github.com/mxrch/gitfive.git
• cd gitfive

Install build tools:

• python -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel build

Build a new wheel:

• python -m build

This creates a dist/ folder with a .whl file, e.g., gitfive-1.1.10-py3-none-any.whl.

Install the new wheel via pipx:

• pipx install dist\gitfive-1.1.10-py3-none-any.whl

Now pipx will see the entry_points and generate gitfive.exe.

gitfive login and other CLI commands will work globally.

@mxrch, the problem is in the package. Please rebuild a new version.
