pysetuptools

[Patrick Welche <prlw1%cam.ac.uk@localhost>]

While trying to package https://fenicsproject.org/ (category math or biology?)
our latest py36-setuptools-36.5.0 generated:

#!/usr/pkg/bin/python3.6
# EASY-INSTALL-ENTRY-SCRIPT: 'FFC==2017.1.0','console_scripts','ffc'
__requires__ = 'FFC==2017.1.0'
import re
import sys
from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
...

Running it gives:
...
    raise DistributionNotFound(req, requirers)
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'mpmath>=0.19' distribution was not found and is required by sympy

# pkg_info -r py36-mpmath
Information for py36-mpmath-0.19:

Full required by list:
py36-sympy-1.0
py36-fiat-2017.1.0
py36-ffc-2017.1.0

is installed, and all looks OK.

(sympy-1.0-py3.6.egg-info/requires.txt:mpmath>=0.19)

What can be confusing py36-setuptools?


Cheers,

Patrick
