local RDFLIB install

[KNAAK, KARL R CIV USAF AFMC AFLCMC/EBZ]

Good morning,

 

I apologize for the probably ridiculous question, but I work on a system that cannot use pip for installing packages. I usually download the tar.gz, extract, and run the setup.py. I am in no way advanced in my experience with python so I have been trying to find a method of installing RDFLIB without a setup.py and am unfamiliar with how to do so. I have not had any luck with searching the internet for an alternative solution. I was hoping you might have some input.

 

I greatly appreciate your assistance. I hope you have a great weekend.

Can you just copy rdflib/ into site-packages/ from an archive of a git release tag or a release wheel? But that won't create the project.scripts in bin/, and you need some process for checking for updates so that future maintainers can again vendor the rdflib library into your [monorepo] with the license

A .whl wheel package is an installable zip file; you can just add a .zip suffix and work with normal unzip with CRC32 only. 

Pip can check checksums if they're listed in the requirements.txt. Also there's TUF on PyPI for signing uploaded packages.

Hi Karl,

Just adding to what Wes has mentioned: just remember that "installing" with Python just means adding the Python package to your path, so you can save the rdflib .tar.gz file somewhere, extract it and just ensure the somewhere's on your Python path and then you can "import rdflib" i your code! PIP, setup.py and so on just do this for you in fewer steps.

chatgpt nails it, step by step, for multiple different platforms, with this exact question:

How do I install a Python package without using PIP or setup.py?

Cheers, Nick
