Pip installs wrong version from PyPi

[rdeknijf]

Pip does find 0.1.4:

$ pip search django-fixture-magic | grep django-fixture-magic
django-fixture-magic (0.1.4)                - A few extra management tools to handle fixtures.

But when I try to install pinned:

$ pip install django-fixture-magic==0.1.4
Collecting django-fixture-magic==0.1.4
  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement django-fixture-magic==0.1.4 (from versions: 0.0.2.macosx-10.6-i386, 0.1.4.macosx-10.13-x86_64, 0.0.2, 0.0.3, 0.0.4, 0.0.5, 0.0.7, 0.0.8, 0.1.0, 0.1.1, 0.1.2, 0.1.3)
No matching distribution found for django-fixture-magic==0.1.4

And unpinned:

$ pip install django-fixture-magic
Collecting django-fixture-magic
Installing collected packages: django-fixture-magic
Successfully installed django-fixture-magic-0.1.3

I don't know why this happens, but it happens in any environment that I've tried. Can you fix this? Is there anything that I can do to help?

The 0.1.4 version uploaded to PyPi is the macosx version. Trying to install on Linux system gives you the 0.1.3 version without the merge_fixture fix.
It would be nice to get this fixed!

pip install django-fixture-magic==0.1.4 --no-cache-dir
Collecting django-fixture-magic==0.1.4
  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement django-fixture-magic==0.1.4 (from versions: 0.0.2.macosx-10.6-i386, 0.1.4.macosx-10.13-x86_64, 0.0.2, 0.0.3, 0.0.4, 0.0.5, 0.0.7, 0.0.8, 0.1.0, 0.1.1, 0.1.2, 0.1.3)

@LiamK I'm out of touch on building packages, what would I need to do to create OS agnostic packages?

I was able to get this working by referencing the branch/git commit explicitly:
requirements.txt:

-e [email protected]:davedash/django-fixture-magic.git@466fa35c075009e4a1974f6e588471dd9e720e53#egg=django_fixture_magic

That is set to the most recent git commit on the master branch as of 5/15/2019.
Just followed the instructions here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16584552/how-to-state-in-requirements-txt-a-direct-github-source

This does not solve the overall problem, but its a good compromise until the package is updated.

@davedash I believe I have found the answer to this problem. Would you please take a look?
https://packaging.python.org/guides/distributing-packages-using-setuptools/#platform-wheels

I think what may have happened is that when you built the package for version 1.4 that you uploaded to PyPi you created a "Platorm Wheel."
I don't think you need to create a Platform Wheel. I think you can create what they refer to as a Universal Wheel, since the package works with both Python 2 & 3.
If you then upload that to PyPi it should work.

Would you please do that and see if it fixes the problem? I think you will have to bump the version for PyPi to accept the new package. I also saw that there is a .bumpconfig file with an older version number (0.1.2), so maybe that should also be updated.

Thanks!

Hello @davedash please do what @LiamK suggests, it would be much appreciated!

[davedash]

Hi. I'll take a look when I can. I'm currently in "lockdown" with my family. Which means a lot of schooling and not a lot of computer time.
