Issue

This appears to be a regression introduced in poetry-core 1.3.0. I'm opening the issue here because issues are closed on the poetry-core repo.

When using poetry-core >= 1.3.0, names of extras are incorrectly normalized to change _ to -, causing their installation to fail:

The issue is not the normalization -- the issue is that the other side of the comparison is not normalized when looking for extras, as best I can tell from a quick skim. The normalization is specified in PEP 685.

PTAL @dimbleby

Ah, I just processed that this was pip install and not poetry install -- I think this might be a pip bug. They are required by spec to normalize extra names before making a comparison -- Poetry is writing the canonical name, which by spec should be considered equivalent.

[dimbleby]

yep, looks like basically a duplicate of python-poetry/poetry-plugin-export#150

here's a pip bug requesting pep 685 be implemented pypa/pip#11445

I've not looked at the pip code but I can't imagine that the part of pep685 which says "normalize extra names before comparison" can be very hard to do, perhaps someone who is affected by this would like to put together an MR over there

[dimbleby]

looks as though this was implemented in packaging some months ago - pypa/packaging#545 - but the subsequent release has gotten a bit stalled - pypa/packaging#569

However updates in the last couple of days suggest that it's coming imminently, and I'd guess that pip will pick that up in their next release.

So IMO poetry should hold firm here. Reverting the change, apart from being tedious, would reintroduce the bugs that it fixed (#6321) - ie it's not obviously making things better - and it looks reasonable to expect that the ecosystem is close to catching up with the specs.

Could do: https://hatch.pypa.io/latest/config/metadata/#allowing-ambiguous-features

[dimbleby]

It's taken somewhat longer than I'd guessed it would, but packaging 22.0 has now been released

So I guess that a pip release picking that up will happen in due course, and pip should soon agree with poetry - or rather with PEP685 - about how extras are normalized.

[dimbleby]

well it really is taking a while for pip to implement pep 685, pypa/pip#11445 seems to be harder than I'd have guessed.

nevertheless there is no poetry bug here and no intention of changing poetry behaviour, might as well close this one out I think
