site packages, python 3.8

[Dixon]

from setuptools import setup

setup(
    name = 'vsearch'
    version = '1.0'
    description = 'The Head First PYthon Search Tools',
    author = 'HF Python 2e',
    author_email = '[email protected]',
    url = 'headfirstlabs.com',
    py_modules = ['vsearch'],
    )

For reasons unknown to me, this doesn't fully work. I'm supposed to get a zip file in Windows 10, but get a tar.gz instead, which if I understand, is for the Unix OS. I invoke it with C:\users\dixon\appdata\local\programs\python\python38-32\mymodules\python setup.py sdist

I'm supposed to now be able to access my modules from any file location on my computer, right? Again, this is from 'Head First Python', as would seem obvious from the code.

What happens if you explicitly specify file formats in the cli with --formats option? The docs state that default format on windows is zip, but anyway it's worth a try

As stated in the docs:

In the simplest case,

python setup.py sdist

(assuming you haven’t specified any sdist options in the setup script or config file), sdist creates the archive of the default format for the current platform. The default format is a gzip’ed tar file (.tar.gz) on Unix, and ZIP file on Windows.

You can specify as many formats as you like using the --formats option, for example:

python setup.py sdist --formats=gztar,zip

to create a gzipped tarball and a zip file.

as a side note you can open tar files on widows

OK, your tip works as far as getting the 'vsearch-1.0.zip' into the dist directory. So now I'm supposed to be able to access vsearch module from any location on my computer if I understand. Still a no go, and I can't find help online, nor does the book have anything to say about figuring out the error.

No that is source distribution (sdist), i.e. as the name suggests its for distribution.
you need to install it with pip

Use bdist_wheel so you get the real wheel format .whl.
Example to 3.8 not in my Path so take in from Scripts folder,and call it vvsearch to avoid name conflict.

# vvsearch.py
def search4vowels(phrase: str) -> set:
    vowels = set('aeiou')
    return vowels.intersection(set(phrase))

def search4letters(phrase: str, letters: str) -> set:
    return set(letters).intersection(set(phrase))

if __name__ == '__main__':
    print(search4letters('hitch-hiker', 'aeiou'))
    print(search4letters('galaxy', 'xyz'))
    print(search4letters('life, the universe, and everything', 'o'))

# setup.py
from setuptools import setup

setup(
   name="vvsearch",
   version='1.0',
   py_modules=['vvsearch'],
   description="Search Tool",
   url='https://python-forum.io/index.php',
   author_email='[email protected]',
)

Command line i use cmder,just the same in cmd

# Install wheel
C:\Python38\Scripts
λ pip install wheel
Collecting wheel
  Using cached https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/00/83/...c9/wheel-0.33.6-py2.py3-none-any.whl
Installing collected packages: wheel
Successfully installed wheel-0.33.6

# Make the wheel
C:\Python38\Scripts
λ py -3.8 setup.py bdist_wheel
....
adding 'vvsearch-1.0.dist-info/top_level.txt'
adding 'vvsearch-1.0.dist-info/RECORD'
removing build\bdist.win32\wheel

# Now the wheel is in dist folder,install with pip
C:\Python38\Scripts\dist
λ py -3.8 -m pip install vvsearch-1.0-py3-none-any.whl
Processing c:\python38\scripts\dist\vvsearch-1.0-py3-none-any.whl

# Test that it work 
C:\Python38
λ python

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import vvsearch
>>>
>>> vvsearch.search4letters('hitch-hiker', 'aeiou')
{'e', 'i'}
>>> vvsearch.search4letters('hello', 'aeiou')
{'e', 'o'}
>>> exit()

So now it install to 3.8.
This is just the same way you make it if want to use PyPi.
PyPi is a central disruption of wheels.

After upload wheel to PyPi your wheel get shorter name.

# This can share with other eg usb stick,private host of wheel on web
pip install vvsearch-1.0-py3-none-any.whl

# PyPi share with other in an easier way
pip install vvsearch 

It's just the same wheel PyPi disturbed it central.

This is what I get when I follow instructions in the "Head First Python" book from page 182. If I'm supposed to format this in some specific way, I'm sorry. Anyway, now the computer can't find the 'pip' module.

Follow mine instruction they are more up to date.

Dos your pip work now?
From cmd,it should work just the same for you but point to 3.8:

# Test pip
C:\>pip -V
pip 19.2.3 from c:\python37\lib\site-packages\pip (python 3.7)

# Test install,wheel as you need
C:\>pip install wheel
Collecting wheel
  Downloading .....
Successfully installed wheel-0.34.1

# Upgrade pip
C:\>python -m pip install --upgrade pip
Collecting pip ..... 
Successfully installed pip-20.0.2

# Test pip again,see that is 20.0.2
C:\>pip -V
pip 20.0.2 from c:\python37\lib\site-packages\pip (python 3.7)

Could you do the same test as posted,also test pip and install wheel to see if that work.
Then also in post #5 there is a complete setup to make wheel,and no use of .zip but .whl(the real wheel format).

[Dixon]

I'll do it tomorrow. Time for Chardonay. :-)
