Fully specify dependencies

[h-vetinari]

I realise a lot is in flux here with and after #25, but just mentioning that I tried to install from git, and the installation process does not trigger any dependencies to be pulled in (I'm sure that once published to PyPI this would work already a bit better), and the metadata seems to be missing some packages.

First error I got was missing package varlink, and while installing that, I got:

>pip install varlink
Collecting varlink
  Downloading https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/80/4f/8ac1e3fd7f766b68a5273926faf810d7a2d81863ce0a57c74b47461dd353/varlink-30.1.2-py2.py3-none-any.whl
ERROR: podman 0.0.1 requires psutil, which is not installed.
ERROR: podman 0.0.1 requires python-dateutil, which is not installed

So it seems psutil / python-dateutil are specified, but not varlink, and neither the missing package error I got after installing all that.

>>> import podman
Traceback (most recent call last):
[...]
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'fcntl'
[...]
>pip install fcntl
Collecting fcntl
  ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement fcntl (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for fcntl

Not sure what else might be missing, since I cannot install fcntl from either pip or conda.

Hello

python-podman package is built by using pbr who will automatically use the requirements.txt file.

This file already contains varlink etc... so normally when you install python-podman from pypi it automatically install varlink too

Concerning fcntl this module is a part of the stdlib so you don't need to install it and you can't find it on pypi, it's already available with your python installation.

Normally an installation from git work fine too with pbr and in a similar way than a pypi install.

Can you try this:

$ # from your local clone repository
$ python -m pip install --user pbr
$ python setup.py install
$ # normally dependencies will be installed too...

Let's me know if it work now.

Also which python version are in use here?

Can you give the commands that you use?

Thanks :)

I used the install instructions from the readme:

cd ~/python-podman
python3 setup.py clean -a && python3 setup.py sdist bdist
python3 setup.py install --user

And for me, fnctl is not part of the stdlib for Python 3.7 (edit: upon some googling, this does not exist under windows). But fair enough, I'll be installing this mostly on linux machines.

[h-vetinari]

OK, on a linux machine, with varlink,, pbr, psutil & python-dateutil installed, python setup.py install works.

@h-vetinari The README.md documentation to install podman work well, my previous comment seems to fix your issue so if it's ok for you can we close this issue?
