package a python package and its dependencies into an rpm

[Lian Jiang]

Hi,

I am new to fpm and have created a sample rpm for a python package using:

fpm -s python -t rpm --python-bin python2.7 --python-easyinstall easy_install-2.7 requests

But I failed to install it:

[vagrant@localhost ~]$ rpm -ivh python-requests-2.18.4-1.noarch.rpm 
error: Failed dependencies:
	python-certifi >= 2017.4.17 is needed by python-requests-2.18.4-1.noarch
	python-chardet >= 3.0.2 is needed by python-requests-2.18.4-1.noarch
	python-idna >= 2.5 is needed by python-requests-2.18.4-1.noarch
	python-idna < 2.7 is needed by python-requests-2.18.4-1.noarch
	python-urllib3 >= 1.21.1 is needed by python-requests-2.18.4-1.noarch
	python-urllib3 < 1.23 is needed by python-requests-2.18.4-1.noarch

Since it is tedious and error prone to include all dependencies and their versions, is a way for fpm automatically package the dependencies into the rpm? Thanks for any help!

Tacking this on to your fpm command should do it:

-d "python-certifi >= 2017.4.17" -d "python-chardet >= 3.0.2" -d "python-idna >= 2.5" -d "python-idna < 2.7" -d "python-urllib3 >= 1.21.1" -d "python-urllib3 < 1.23"

Thanks Chris.

It seems not work:

fpm -s python -t rpm --python-bin python2.7 --python-easyinstall easy_install-2.7 -d "python-certifi >= 2017.4.17" -d "python-chardet >= 3.0.2" -d "python-idna >= 2.5" -d "python-idna < 2.7" -d "python-urllib3 >= 1.21.1" -d "python-urllib3 < 1.23" requests
Created package {:path=>"python-requests-2.18.4-1.noarch.rpm"}

[vagrant@localhost ~]$ rpm -ivh python-requests-2.18.4-1.noarch.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
    python-certifi >= 2017.4.17 is needed by python-requests-2.18.4-1.noarch
    python-chardet >= 3.0.2 is needed by python-requests-2.18.4-1.noarch
    python-idna >= 2.5 is needed by python-requests-2.18.4-1.noarch
    python-idna < 2.7 is needed by python-requests-2.18.4-1.noarch
    python-urllib3 >= 1.21.1 is needed by python-requests-2.18.4-1.noarch
    python-urllib3 < 1.23 is needed by python-requests-2.18.4-1.noarch

Any idea? Thanks.

I'm at the limit of my knowledge there. I use the -d flags to create dependencies for my C-based applications; maybe the implementation for Python-based packages is different?

I downloaded the requests whl file from pypi and "pip install" worked. This solution seems to be more reliable.
