pylint: ImportError: No module named pkg_resources

pylint: ImportError: No module named pkg_resources

[Oleksandr Gavenko]

After installing pylint:

  setup.exe -p pylint

I expected I can use the package:

  pylint /dev/null

  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/bin/pylint", line 5, in <module>
      from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
  ImportError: No module named pkg_resources

I tried to add package:

  python-setuptools

as suggested by:

  https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7446187/no-module-named-pkg-resources

and now it works.

I believe that x86_64/setup.bz2 is broken:

  depends2: python, python-logilab-astng, python-logilab-common

It doesn't mention python-setuptools.

Or it might be that /usr/bin/pylint should be rewritten to avoid dependency to
setuptools.

Noted. I will look on it as it was anyway built for python2
that is now EOL

So need to be rebuilt to work with python3

This explain the status problem:

  $ grep -e "pylint" -e "logilab" cygwin-pkg-maint
pylint                                       ORPHANED (Jari Aalto)
python-logilab-astng                         ORPHANED (Jari Aalto)
python-logilab-common                        ORPHANED (Jari Aalto)

I guess one is also dead upstream (or was totally re-shaffled)
but I need to look again .

Thanks for the report
Marco

Oh, I see. BTW I noticed in the mentioned link:

>    https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7446187/no-module-named-pkg-resources

report on the problem as of Mar 21 '13 (with 5 upvotes for the solution).

So the problem is not recent.

================================================================

Only pylint is available in Cygwin. May be I haven't tried hard but I see no
anything corresponding to Debian's:

  pycodestyle (or pep8)
  python3-pyflakes
  python3-mccabe
  python3-pydocstyle
  bandit

Still pylint was useful (I spotted shadowing built-in function "id" by global
variable).

I'll try to figure out how can I get them in venv, it is not that crucial to
have them bundled in Cygwin.

I built python3{6,7,8}-pylint packages to replace the pylint one

It required for 3.8 the addition of :

python38-mccabe
python38-wrapt
python38-lazy-object-proxy
python38-isort
python38-astroid

I will upload as soon I finish some extra check
