Bug report: Problem with poetry

[MikeVL]

Note: This error originates from the build backend, and is likely not a problem with poetry but with stringmatch (0.14.5) not supporting PEP 517 builds. You can verify this by running 'pip wheel --no-cache-dir --use-pep517 "stringmatch (==0.14.5)"'.

Hi @MikeVL , thanks for the bug report!

Unfortunately I cannot reproduce this error, neither with poetry nor with the given command. I tried both in Python 3.13, and Python 3.12.

I tested this in a completely new, empty test repository, with only a "Hello World" main.py file, and this in the pyproject.toml:

[tool.poetry]
package-mode = false


[tool.poetry.dependencies]
python = "^3.9"
stringmatch = "^0.14.5"

Have you tried to verify this in a completely new environment or under different Python versions? What Operating System do you use? I am quite puzzled why I can't reproduce the issue.
Thanks in advance for your cooperation ☺️

Hi @atomflunder

I'm trying to install in a new environment on a new computer with an APPLE M3 chip, on the old one with an Intel chip everything worked. Poetry installed from brew.

@MikeVL

I don't have a ARM-based Mac unfortunately to check the issue myself, but I think I may have a clue on what's going on.

I used a very outdated workflow with MacOS 12, and it did not provide any pre-built wheels for MacOS ARM devices at all, only for Mac x86 based devices, that's why it used to work with the Intel chips.

I updated the workflow so that it works with MacOS 14, which seems like it's only ARM based, so it only generates ARM wheels. I may have to figure out how to support both. Also why it fails to build them from scratch, I don't know either. I may have to go into deeper troubleshooting later.

Anyways, I uploaded the newly generated ARM wheels to PyPI, still stringmatch v0.14.5: https://pypi.org/manage/project/stringmatch/release/0.14.5/

Can you try to install it now?

@MikeVL Cool, looks good 👍 Thank you for your help in troubleshooting!

If you are okay with it, I would close this issue and then figure out the rest of the details mentioned in my previous comment.

[atomflunder]

Ah then nevermind. Is it maybe some kind of caching issue? Could you try to clear the poetry cache and then try again?
Or maybe I need to push out a new release?

[MikeVL]

Yes, I cleared the cache, but maybe it's still there somewhere

[atomflunder]

Can you try to install the package from the wheel directly, like this?
