Installation failure with Homebrew #1355

gwerbin · 2017-08-02T20:45:22Z

I'm encountering an error when trying to install Hy with Pip. My setup is vanilla Python3-on-Homebrew-on-MacOS, so Python3 is installed to /usr/local/Cellar/python3/3.6.2 and symlinked into /usr/local/opt/python3 as well as /usr/local. I have the latest versions of both Pip and Setuptools with pip3 install -U pip setuptools.

pip3 show setuptools | grep Version
# Version: 36.2.7
pip3 --version
# pip 9.0.1 from /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages (python 3.6)

It seems like the problem is that setup.py is trying to install the get_version script in /usr/local rather than /usr/local/bin or somewhere else. I have the same problem when I brew unlink python3 and use the MacPorts version instead (sudo port install python36 py36-pip). I'd rather not change the permissions on /usr/local.

(WARNING: wall of CLI output incoming)

This is what I get when I try pip3 install hy:

$ pip3 install hy

Shouldn't that be sudo -H pip3 install hy?

gwerbin · 2017-08-02T20:57:47Z

@Kodiologist not with Homebrew on a Mac! To be fair it's acceptable in this kind of setup to chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local/. Which I did, and it installed fine.

Still, why should this install something directly to /usr/local and not, say /tmp? Is get_version.py required for Hy to run? Can I configure this somehow, e.g. with an environment variable?

Kodiologist · 2017-08-02T21:02:31Z

Still, why should this install something directly to /usr/local and not, say /tmp?

No installation directories are named in setup.py, so this is likely a Pip setting.

Is get_version.py required for Hy to run?

No, it just generates hy/version.py.

Can I configure this somehow, e.g. with an environment variable?

Probably. Check Pip's documentation.

refi64 · 2017-08-02T23:10:37Z

Wait, this isn't right. Nothing should be installed into /usr/local directly like that, let alone something with the generic name generic_version...

refi64 · 2017-08-02T23:11:59Z

Can't we use package_data for get_version.py?

Kodiologist · 2017-08-02T23:48:15Z

No, or else get_version would have to be in the hy package, in which case importing it would import hy/__init__.py, leading to the import of several other files, and thus making it such that building the documentation would depend on the rest of Hy.

It's difficult for me to see how this could be our bug. That's why I closed the issue.

refi64 · 2017-08-03T03:10:58Z

99.9% of Unix systems have /usr as owned by root. Many login managers and other applications store configuration in /usr, so it's a security hazard to change the permissions of it in its entirety. (You also run into the issue of having writable directories in your path.)

To begin with, placing stuff in /usr is just as ugly as a global variable, especially if it's a file that's never going to actually be used.

TBH I'm pretty sure this can be solved with some distutils hackery. Messy, sure, but everyone does it anyway (!).

gwerbin · 2017-08-03T14:26:33Z

@kirbyfan64 this actually does look like an upstream bug. Try this minimal Python "package":

setup.py

import os, sys
from setuptools import setup
os.chdir(os.path.split(os.path.abspath(__file__))[0])

with open('hello.txt', 'w') as f:
    f.write('hello')

setup(
    name='tmp_pkg',
    version='0.0.1',
    data_files=[ ('hello', ['hello.txt']) ]
)

I get the same problem:

    running install_data
    creating /usr/local/hello
    error: could not create '/usr/local/hello': Permission denied

Setuptools' setup.py install_data is trying to install directly to /usr/local, which seems incorrect according to this comment: pypa/setuptools#130 (comment)

refi64 · 2017-08-03T15:13:37Z

Yes, yet the bug has been open for 10 months...

IMO regardless of whether or not data_files is broken, Hy still shouldn't fail installation.

ionling · 2020-02-06T14:34:44Z

Same with me (macOS 10.15.1).

But ok if I install hy by pipenv.

On the 5-year anniversary of this issue, I still don't think it should've been reopened. First, it's an upstream issue that we apparently can't do anything about. Second, we don't test on Mac OS, anyway, and nobody currently involved with Hy maintenance uses Mac OS, so there is approximately zero chance of this getting addressed in the foreseeable future. Let's put it to bed.
