Arm support inconsistent
richard-scott opened this issue · comments
Hi,
I'm using a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B with pyenv to manage my Python versions. I can install your package with Python 3.5.4 and get this file installed:
~/.pyenv/versions/3.5.4/lib/python3.5/site-packages/tgcrypto.cpython-35m-arm-linux-gnueabihf.so
However, when I change to using Python 3.6.6 I get this:
~/.pyenv/versions/3.6.6/lib/python3.6/site-packages/tgcrypto.cpython-36m.so
Obviously as the filename is different I can't load the module in Python.
Installation on Python 3.7.0 works fine too.
I donwloaded this TgCrypto-1.0.4-cp36-cp36m-linux_armv7l.whl and manually checked the contents, and it has the incorrectly named file in there.
@richard-scott Hi there!
You are right, it looks indeed like a faulty wheel.
Unfortunately, I'm not able to do any test on this until next week as I'm on vacation. Meanwhile, you can always compile from source with:
pip install tgcrypto --no-binary tgcrypto
On your Pi you should already have gcc and python3-dev packages installed, which are required for the compilation. If not, just install them with apt (assuming you are running raspbian).
Soon there also will be an update; I'll keep this open as a reminder.
Thanks for pointing this out!
Installation on Python 3.7.0 works fine too.
Yeah, the reason being there's no pre-built wheel for 3.7 (yet) and pip automatically builds tgcrypto from source. You can always override this behaviour using the command in my previous comment.
I think this can be closed now.
Yes, thanks.
Mostly because I ended up deciding not to upload any wheel for such archs.
The source is always available and error messages hinting about missing compiler/headers are quite self-explanatory.
