I'm trying to install the Shapely package to a cross-platform project using pipenv. However, on Windows, shapely can't be installed using a simple pipenv install shapely, it throws errors for a missing dependent dll. For this purpose, there is a pre-built wheel available from the famous unofficial package wheels by Christoph Gohlke:
[[source]]
url = "https://pypi.org/simple"
verify_ssl = true
name = "pypi"
[packages]
shapely = {file = "https://download.lfd.uci.edu/pythonlibs/n5jyqt7p/Shapely-1.6.4.post2-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl", sys_platform = "== 'win32'"}
[dev-packages]
[requires]
python_version = "3.7"
This wheel is perfect for Windows, but only for Windows. So how do I specify in a Pipfile that, only if the platform is linux, it can simply pipenv install shapely as:
[[source]]
url = "https://pypi.org/simple"
verify_ssl = true
name = "pypi"
[packages]
shapely = "==1.6.4.post2"
[dev-packages]
[requires]
python_version = "3.7"
or is this not possible using pipenv? Or do I hack together a Pipfile.Windows file that my unfortunate Windows colleague can rename to Pipfile?
Many thanks for any pointers.
wheel distribution is ok with linux as well, sorry, don't know you linux distro, but you can try this:
[packages]
# for linux
shapely = {file = "https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/97/36/1af447160f713d72f35dd7e749788367b7a13285c4af2fbd675128aa4e99/Shapely-1.6.4.post2-cp37-cp37m-manylinux1_x86_64.whl", platform_system="Linux"}
# for windows
shapely_win = {file = "https://download.lfd.uci.edu/pythonlibs/n5jyqt7p/Shapely-1.6.4.post2-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl", platform_system="Windows"}
shapely_win name doesn't affect package installation
