jupyter_console-6.1.0: Distribution tarball missing `scripts` folder
jeeger opened this issue · comments
Greetings! I'm trying to install jupyter console on Gentoo. Gentoo uses the pypi tarball to install the packages. However, the 6.1.0 tarball is missing the scripts/ folder, which means that no jupyter_console script will be installed.
I could work around this by using a bdist target to regenerate the script, but this seems like a bug to me. Please advise.
Thanks for packaging this on Gentoo,
And sorry I'm trying to revive this repository. I've created #227 that should fix this in the next release.
I think in the long term we should likely not include scripts but rely on entry points, setuptools is suppose to know how to take care of that. At least I never had complaints about IPython and that's how it does it.
let me know if #227 works for you, and I'll try to keep this open to think about how to properly update that in the long run.
If there is anything that we can keep in this repository to make the ebuild easier to maintain (or even have the ebuild file as part of this repo) let me know.
Hey! Thanks for fixing this!
Using setuptools is exactly the fix that the Gentoo maintainer for the package added (I'm not the maintainer, I just found the bug). The Gentoo bug report is here: https://bugs.gentoo.org/734786. I think this will make packaging jupyter console much easier.
