distutils is removed in Python 3.12 #2869

cclauss · 2023-06-13T14:12:56Z

EDIT: This issue was closed via nodejs/gyp-next#214 which is available in node-gyp v10+.

distutils is deprecated with removal planned for Python 3.12. See the What’s New entry for more information.

Our only current use of Python distutils is at:

node-gyp/gyp/pylib/gyp/input.py

Line 19 in 33391db

from distutils.version import StrictVersion

node-gyp/gyp/pylib/gyp/input.py

Line 1186 in 33391db

env = {"__builtins__": {}, "v": StrictVersion}

As discussed in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11887762, we should replace distutils.version.StrictVersion with packaging.version.parse.

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

@rzhao271 or @dhruvmanila -- Any interest in fixing this one?

rzhao271 · 2023-07-26T16:22:49Z

I'm interested, though it'll have to be on my own time.

cclauss · 2023-07-26T18:47:39Z

#2888 Needs help to pass test…

cclauss · 2023-08-25T14:01:53Z

This is becoming more urgent now that Python 3.12 is a release candidate.

https://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3.12.html
misc: Add Python v3.12 to the testing #2862 demonstrates the problem
Replace uses of python distutils library #2888 is not yet a solution

sibelius · 2023-08-31T10:56:16Z

this is breaking for me

cclauss · 2023-08-31T11:06:28Z

Py3.12 is still pre-release. Please try to copy the pylib/gyp/input.py changes from nodejs/gyp-next#201 and let us know if that unblocks you.

nikolay · 2023-10-02T22:53:27Z

@cclauss Python 3.12 got released and now node-gyp works no more!

rzhao271 · 2023-10-02T23:05:30Z

The upstream fix still hasn't been merged nodejs/gyp-next#197

Steveorevo · 2023-10-04T00:24:37Z

This is also broken for me. Simply create an electron forge app and then attempt to use something trivial like:

require('deasync').sleep(1000);
console.log('Hello world');

I'm greeted with:

File node_modules\node-gyp\gyp\pylib\gyp\input.py", line 19, in <module>
  from distutils.version import StrictVersion
  ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distutils'
  Error: `gyp` failed with exit code: 1
  
An unhandled rejection has occurred inside Forge:
Error: node-gyp failed to rebuild '... \resources\app\node_modules\deasync'

cclauss · 2023-10-04T17:34:53Z

@rzhao271 @dhruvmanila @zooba Node.js node-gyp is still broken on Python 3.12 on Windows. See these attempts to fix #2869 (comment). I am not a Windows person so I cannot debug.

jurijsk · 2023-10-04T19:03:29Z

Python 3.12 released on Oct 2nd and got it by default with other tooling and nothing is working now because distutils is removed

nikolay · 2023-10-04T19:22:54Z

@jurijsk It's sad, as we knew Python was removing it and have done nothing about it!

pplmx · 2023-10-16T09:45:51Z

Any progress? On Windows, node-gyp cannot work on Python 3.12 now.

GorlikItsMe · 2023-10-17T08:29:27Z

Same issue here (Windows, python 3.12.0)

birdzai · 2023-10-17T23:32:27Z

Doesn't work on Mac either

iki · 2023-10-18T07:58:45Z

The upstream fix still hasn't been merged nodejs/gyp-next#197

@rzhao271 upstream was merged since that

🤖 Release is at https://github.com/nodejs/gyp-next/releases/tag/v0.15.1 🌻

cclauss · 2023-10-18T08:05:29Z

I will work on vendoring in packaging today.

cclauss · 2023-10-18T23:24:46Z

EDIT: This advice was for node-gyp < v10 but is not required for later versions.

If some of you are frustrated then please do python3 -m pip install packaging and report back here if that fixes things.

Other activities blocked vendoring effort today but I will dig in with my first coffee tomorrow.

Wasn't working for me in the case of installing @signalapp/better-sqlite3, but doing pip install setuptools solved it for me.

I am using python3.12 for venv and I have a same problem with execute pandas_datareader.

cclauss · 2024-02-02T07:53:58Z

Please look at your error log and ensure it contains the line gyp info using node-gyp@10.0.1.

Some have said that pip install setuptools is a quick fix.

https://github.com/pydata/pandas-datareader has not been released to PyPI since 2021 and is currently failing its Continuous Integration tests so you will need to seek help on that repo...

Future release(s) of pandas-datareader pydata/pandas-datareader#977 (comment)
