Error in python build: ERROR Command '['/tmp/build-env-9acv67by/bin/python', '-Im', 'pip', 'install', '--use-pep517', '--no-warn-script-location',

I have a simple python project for learning packaging. When I want to build with python3.9 -m build I get this error:

ERROR Command '['/tmp/build-env-9acv67by/bin/python', '-Im', 'pip', 'install', '--use-pep517', '--no-warn-script-location', '-r', '/tmp/build-reqs-qwglf9kg.txt']' returned non-zero exit status 1.

Full result is here. This is the structure of the project's directory:

../setup
├── LICENSE
├── pyproject.toml
├── README.md
├── setup.cfg
├── src
│   └── program
│       ├── __init__.py
│       └── program.py
└── tests

Content of my pyproject.toml is:

[build-system]
requires = [
    "sys",
    "setuptools>=42",
    "wheel"
]
build-backend = "setuptools.build_meta"

And my __init__.py content is: from . import program

Solution

  • In the full result it says the problem
    ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement sys ERROR: No matching distribution found for sys

    So your command is looking for a version that wouldn't comply with system requirements
