Package: dh-python Version: 7.20260623 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Over the years, as I have used python's entry-point feature extensively, I have often found dependency issues that were not captured by binary packages. One bug report that I made that is currently still open is https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1126289 which reports a dependency issue for python3-limits. Running this simple script: import pkg_resources for dist in pkg_resources.working_set: try: pkg_resources.require(dist.project_name) except Exception as exc: print(f"{exc.__class__.__name__}:\t{exc}") one can see that, among the packages installed on my computer, there are 23 dependency issues: DistributionNotFound: The 'debconf' distribution was not found and is required by apt-listchanges DistributionNotFound: The 'tzdata; python_version >= "3.9"' distribution was not found and is required by arrow ContextualVersionConflict: (agate-dbf 0.2.2 (/usr/lib/python3/dist- packages), Requirement.parse('agate-dbf>=0.2.3'), {'csvkit'}) ContextualVersionConflict: (stone 3.3.9 (/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages), Requirement.parse('stone<3.3.3,>=2'), {'dropbox'}) ContextualVersionConflict: (hpack 4.0.0 (/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages), Requirement.parse('hpack<5,>=4.1'), {'h2'}) DistributionNotFound: The 'hf-xet<2.0.0,>=1.2.0' distribution was not found and is required by huggingface-hub ContextualVersionConflict: (packaging 26.2 (/usr/lib/python3/dist- packages), Requirement.parse('packaging<25,>=21'), {'limits'}) ContextualVersionConflict: (protobuf 4.21.12 (/usr/lib/python3/dist- packages), Requirement.parse('protobuf<7,>=5.26'), {'nitrokey'}) ContextualVersionConflict: (protobuf 4.21.12 (/usr/lib/python3/dist- packages), Requirement.parse('protobuf<7,>=5.26'), {'nitrokey'}) ContextualVersionConflict: (poetry-core 2.3.1 (/usr/lib/python3/dist- packages), Requirement.parse('poetry-core==2.3.2'), {'poetry'}) ContextualVersionConflict: (cachetools 7.0.1 (/usr/lib/python3/dist- packages), Requirement.parse('cachetools>=7.0.3'), {'tox'}) DistributionNotFound: The 'django-stubs<5.3,>=4.2' distribution was not found and is required by types-channels DistributionNotFound: The 'Flask>=2.3.2' distribution was not found and is required by types-click-web DistributionNotFound: The 'django-stubs' distribution was not found and is required by types-django-filter DistributionNotFound: The 'django-stubs' distribution was not found and is required by types-django-import-export DistributionNotFound: The 'Flask>=2.0.0' distribution was not found and is required by types-flask-cors DistributionNotFound: The 'Flask>=2.0.0' distribution was not found and is required by types-flask-migrate DistributionNotFound: The 'Flask>=0.9' distribution was not found and is required by types-flask-socketio DistributionNotFound: The 'pyproj' distribution was not found and is required by types-geopandas DistributionNotFound: The 'pandas-stubs' distribution was not found and is required by types-seaborn DistributionNotFound: The 'ua-parser-builtins' distribution was not found and is required by ua-parser DistributionNotFound: The 'ua-parser-builtins' distribution was not found and is required by ua-parser ContextualVersionConflict: (sphinx 9.1.0 (/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages), Requirement.parse('sphinx<8.3,>=8.2'), {'zzzeeksphinx'}) Shouldn't dh-python find these dependencies automatically? Or is it too complex to automatically derive package dependencies from distribution setup files? In the case of the bug reports I made, the dependencies were usually specified in pyproject.toml but apparently not analyzed by dh-python's scripts (I must confess I only know a bare minimum about dh-python). I hope this is useful. If this is not an issue, please feel free to close this bug. -- System Information: Debian Release: forky/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 7.1.3+deb14-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages dh-python depends on: ii python3 3.14.6-1 dh-python recommends no packages.
