Pypi package not installing on some systems

I have created a python package, which I uploaded to pipy using the following commands:

python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel
twine upload dist/*

And the setup.py is:

import setuptools
with open("README.md", "r") as fh:
    long_description = fh.read()

setuptools.setup(
     name='pakk',  
     version='0.3',
     scripts=['pakk.py'] ,
     author="**insert Author**",
     author_email="[email protected]",
     description="pakk",
     long_description=long_description,
     long_description_content_type="text/markdown",
     url="https://some_website.nice",
     packages=setuptools.find_packages(),
     classifiers=[
         "Programming Language :: Python :: 3",
         "License :: OSI Approved :: MIT License",
         "Operating System :: OS Independent",
     ],
 )

It is all working good on my Windows 10 machine, but in other places it does not. For example:

  1. In google colab after doing the following
!pip install pakk
import pakk

I get the error:

Collecting pakk

      1 get_ipython().system('pip install pakk')
      2 
----> 3 import pakk

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pakk'

Although it is present in pip list and even in cache in this example.

  1. On repl.it the module does not even install, it freezes at
Package operations: 1 install, 0 updates, 0 removals

  - Installing pakk(0.3)

What could be the reason? And how do I fix it? In both of these websites, I have never encountered such errors. Also, I am not sure that dependencies are recognized and installed, but I can write them by hand anytime.

Solution

  • I downloaded the distributions from PyPI to inspect them.

    There are no packages that find_packages() could find. Additionally there are no py_modules in setup.py. So there is nothing to import.

    The statsmodelier.py module is added as scripts, so it is definitely not added as a importable module. If it is supposed to be an importable module then it should be added to py_modules instead of scripts.
