Fix issue with pip installing oslo.config-1.2.0
Fixes bug #
1194807
Firstly, we update the oslo.config dep to 1.2.0a3 because of the issue
with namespace packages (bug #
1194742).
But the main issue here is that if you currently do:
$> pip install -r quantum/requirements.txt
then you end up with the oslo.config 1.1.1 code installed. This is
because oslo.config>=1.1.0 gets pulled in as a transitive dep and pip
gets confused. You can reproduce with e.g.
$> pip install \
http://.../oslo.config-1.2.0a3.tar.gz#egg=oslo.config-1.2.0a3 \
python-keystoneclient
$> pip freeze | grep oslo.config
oslo.config-1.2.0a3
$> python -c 'from oslo.config.cfg import DeprecatedOpt'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: cannot import name DeprecatedOpt
This is because of a bug with pip where it sees oslo.config-1.2.0a3 and
oslo.config as two unrelated things. It should strip the version part of
the egg= fragment before using it as a package name, but it doesn't.
However, we can simply use the -f/--find-links pip option in our
requirements.txt to add the tarball URL to the list of URLs considered
and also add the oslo.config>=1.2.0a3 dependency:
$> pip install \
-f http://.../oslo.config-1.2.0a3.tar.gz#egg=oslo.config-1.2.0a3 \
'oslo.config>=1.2.0a3' \
python-keystoneclient
$> pip freeze | grep oslo.config
oslo.config-1.2.0a3
$> python -c 'from oslo.config.cfg import DeprecatedOpt'
This is actually exactly the semantics we want and we go to great
lengths in pbr to get these semantics while using a single tarball URL.
The only downside to this --find-links strategy is that we gain an extra
line in our requirements.txt ... but it does work around the pip bug.
