Wheels are not being built properly

[wasade]

This has been holding up a 2.1.16 release. No time to do it right now, and this would represent at least 1.5 week delay. Deferring a fix to later.

I am having this issue when using "pip install biom-format" into my virtual environment. I am getting several error messages, which include:

Building wheel for biom-format (pyproject.toml) did not run successfully.
Python recognizes 'biom.assets' as an importable package[^1], but it is absent from setuptools' packages configuration.
Python recognizes 'biom.tests.bench_tables' as an importable package[^1], but it is absent from setuptools' packages configuration.
Python recognizes 'biom.tests.test_cli.test_data' as an importable package[^1], but it is absent from setuptools' packages configuration.

Thanks, good catch. What operating system, and version of python?On Jun 7, 2024, at 10:00, pkirti33 ***@***.***> wrote: I am having this issue when using "pip install biom-format" into my virtual environment.

Sorry for not including that!

Thanks. Is this within WSL?

[pkirti33]

No - I'm running my commands directly in Windows Command Prompt

We test against windows-latest which is Windows 2022. However, we don't have any Windows systems locally.

We are not instrumented to assert wheels build correctly, and as noted in this issue, we did not push wheels for this latest release. Could you attempt installing natively as done in the CI action and see if that works (e.g., git clone https://github.com/biocore/biom-format.git; cd biom-format; pip install .)? Alternatively, can you install from conda?

Hi,
Thanks for your prompt replies! Installing it natively didn't work - I ran into the same issues. One thing that might be noteworthy is that my project uses a pyproject.toml file. The last line of my error message states:

ERROR: Could not build wheels for biom-format, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects

[wasade]

Any chance you'd be interested in futzing with setup.py and pyproject.toml in your local clone to see if you can find something which works, and issue a pull request?

Hello,
Thank you for your help, I think I found a workaround. biom-format is pre-installed in qiime2 (which I'm using), so I'm just going to perform my operations within that venv. Thank you!

Sounds good, thanks!
