Leo 6.7.8 released to pypi

[Edward K. Ream]

Leo 6.7.8.post3 is now available on Leo's pypi page.

This version installs leo.exe, leo-c.exe, and leo-console.exe in the "Python3.x/scripts" folder. These scripts work for me.

This release concludes work on Leo 6.7.8.  Onward!

 Leo 6.7.8.post3 is now working as expected in an existing 'venv' w/i a Fedora 38 VM !

With kind regards,

Excellent. Thanks for your testing :-)

I've tried out installing post3 on my fleet of Linux VMs.  It succeeded on all of them although for some I had to add the pip install option --break-system-packages.  After installation, there was a also new "leo" script that launched Leo.  So it looks like all Edward's hard work has paid off. The install command was:

python3 -m pip install --user --upgrade leo

Here is the list of distros I tried:

debian 22.04
fedora
manjaro
mint
opensuse
ubuntu
xubuntu

Thanks for your testing. I greatly appreciate it.

I'm glad to be rid of setup.py.

When I using `pipx inject leo /Users/mac/Desktop/proj/leo-editor` for newest code. it throws:

after `mkdir -p leo/doc/_static`, it works as before.

Maybe we need an empty .gitignore file in that folder?

Thanks for this report.  See #3853.

Why would an empty .gitignore folder help?

My speculation is that perhaps leo-editor/MANIFEST.in should contain this line:

     include leo/doc/_static

Otoh, I don't understand the differences between pip and pipx.

Do you have any thoughts?

My speculation is that perhaps leo-editor/MANIFEST.in should contain this line:

     include leo/doc/_static

Frankly speaking, I don't know how MANIFEST.in works.

empty .gitignore folder can keep the _static dir in repo, so the error will be fixed.

Of course, this is indeed not a fundamental solution to error. In fact, I don't know or track where this error appears (mainly because I think this matter is not very important). This is just a quick and dirty fix.

 

Otoh, I don't understand the differences between pip and pipx.

My understanding is: pipx just creates a separate virtual env, and installs the dependency, after that, it adds the bin dir to the global path. I think it’s not a problem with pipx. It just creates a separate virtual env for each installed package.

Btw, my OS is Mac, does anyone else have the same problem as me?
