(moved from #1582, specifically comment:387611 and comment:38:/tahoe-lafs/trac/issues/27526)
Windows machines have problems building pycryptopp, because the length of the version string (65 chars when turned into a directory, including the package name, connecting hyphen, and version) causes pathnames to exceed the maximum allowable on windows. Zooko points out that this should be considered a bug in setuptools, since building any package would fail if the parent directory name is sufficiently long.
I spent the day getting a windows VM set up, and found that the situation is indeed dire when building from a directory with a long name. I used my
spake2
package as a test case, because it is pure-python and has a very short package+version name.The base directory is
C:\Users\$USERNAME\$AAAA
, where "$USERNAME" is 18 characters long.I started with "$AAAA" at 200 characters long, so the total pathname up to this point is 2+1+18+1+200= 221. Inside that is the "spake2-0.3" directory, bringing pwd to 232 chars. From a directory of that length, python cannot even import the
versioneer.py
that's sitting right next to setup.py (it can importsetuptools
and other packages that are in the much-shorterC:\Python27\Lib
directory, but nothing that involves longsys.path
entries). This is unrelated to setuptools, and if it is to be considered a bug, it would be assigned to python itself.It is not possible to unpack the pycryptopp tarball into this directory. Moving one that was unpacked elsewhere works, but then even basic windows commands like
dir
fail, with an error like "The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters". (note that I'm usingPowerShell
on a Windows 2012 Server system).When we move to $AAAA=150 chars (for a total length of 182 chars), versioneer can be imported, but a
setup.py bdist_wheel
fails as it attempts to copy the egg-info data into place, with an error like the one seen in comment:387610 . The chain of responsibility is:shutil.copyfile()
is handed adst=
argument ofbuild\bdist.win32\wheel\.\spake2-0.3-py2.7.egg-info\dependency_links.txt
, which is a relative pathname of len=72. It then attempts a regularopen(dst, 'wb')
, which fails with errno 2 (No such file or directory).I'm not sure what setuptools could do differently here. Is there something other than
open()
that python code is supposed to use on windows? I tried makingopen
useos.path.abspath()
, thinking that a prefix ofC:\
might trigger a differently-capable syscall, but that didn't seem to help.In an AAAA=145 directory (total length 167 chars), spake2-0.3 builds a wheel with no problem.
Note that the package version string appears twice: once in the
copyfile()
argument, and a second time in the implicit CWD (where the source tarball was unpacked). So every extra character in the version string means two characters in the absolute filename.As a workaround, I found that it is possible to build a pycryptopp wheel (using
python setup.py bdist_wheel
) if the parent directory is 2+1+18+1+25= 47 characters or less (the cutoff is somewhere between 47 and 52 characters).Appveyor.com (the CI service I've been trying to get working) unpacks the source tree into
C:\projects\tahoe-lafs
. If we used them to build pycryptopp wheels from a git checkout, they'd getC:\projects\pycryptopp
, which would be short enough to work. Technically, we really only need one machine to runsetup.py bdist_wheel
, then everybody else can install the pre-compiled wheels.Until we have pre-compiled wheels available, windows devs will be building wheels as a side-effect of
pip install
, which will use some temp directory for the purpose. I don't yet know how the temp directory is created (how long it is, and whether it lives under the user's home directory, or somewhere unaffected by the length of their username like /tmp).So maybe publishing pre-compiled pycryptopp wheels (built on appveyor from git, not from a tarball) will be enough to allow windows devs of all username-lengths to build tahoe.
I did another experiment: modifying spake2 to depend on pycryptopp, then doing a
pip install .
from the spake2 directory underneath variously-lengthed $AAAA parent directories. This causes pip to build (and install) a pycryptopp wheel in the same way thatpip install tahoe-lafs
ought to do. I found that it worked at least as far as $AAAA=150, which means that the pycryptopp build is not happening inside the current working directory.I eventually found the tempdir that is hosting the build:
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Temp\2\pip-build-j4xbzr\pycryptopp
. This directory does include the username, but does not include the CWD copy of the version string (it unpacks intopycryptopp
rather thanpycryptopp-0.7.1.869544967005693312591928092448767568728501330214
, which must be pip or wheel controlling the target directory ofTarFile.extract_all()
). So I think that means each byte of the version string only counts against the ultimate path-length limit once, not twice.Since the original error (on Daira's box) was using a username of just "Daira", I think something else is going on here. I do notice that Daira's log in comment:387610 shows the pycryptopp version string getting included twice:
For some reason it's reaching the egg-info directory as a sibling (up-and-over) relative to the
.data
directory, both of which have pycryptopp's long version string. It didn't do that in my tests.Daira: what version of setuptools and 'wheel' do you have on your box? I've got setuptools-20.2.2 and wheel-0.29.0 .
I see one potentially-relevant note in the wheel changelog: version 0.27.0 fixed issue 91 "Don’t attempt to (recursively) create a build directory ending with .. (invalid on all platforms, but code was only executed on Windows)". It looks like the patch involves adding an
os.path.normpath()
call, which might flatten out that extra directory, and might reduce the severity of this issue.So maybe Daira is using wheel 0.26.0 or older, and it'd be sufficient to just upgrade that to 0.27.0 or newer. That'd give us an extra 65 characters or headroom (maybe 70, since the
.data
suffix is removed too).If that helps, what would the new maximum version-string length be? Suppose we have $USERNAME, $PKGNAME, and $VERSION. The longest filename written into egg-info is
dependency_links.txt
. So I think we're talking:C:\Users\$USERNAME\AppData\Local\Temp\2\pip-build-XXXXXX\$PKGNAME\build\bdist.win-amd64\wheel\$PKGNAME-$VERSION-py2.7.egg-info\dependency_links.txt
. That's a fully-qualified file name of 114 + len($USERNAME) + 2len($PKGNAME) + len($VERSION) bytes (which must be less than 260 characters). The directory name is 93+len($USERNAME)+2len($PKGNAME)+len($VERSION), and must be less than 248 characters, so those are nearly equal constraints.So for a 10-char $USERNAME and 10-char $PKGNAME, we can tolerate a $VERSION of up to 116 characters. Zooko's SHA1-as-decimal string is pycryptopp is 48 (49 max). So we should be able to build the current pycryptopp on systems with up to 78-character usernames. If git moves to SHA256 and Zooko keeps the same versioning scheme (SHA256-as-decimal would be 78 characters), then we can tolerate usernames of up to 48 characters.
I think we should simply release pycryptopp 0.7.2. The long version string is just not worth the hassle. Yes, Windows is broken, but neither Windows nor setuptools are going to get unbroken any time soon (and neither is Python 2.x going to get a workaround to convert to and from the "
\\?\
" long path prefix in all Win32 API calls that use paths, which would be the only practical alternative).As an experiment, I modified
install_egg_info.py
to change:with:
and I was able to
pip install .
spake2 (with the artificial dependency on pycryptopp) in $AAAA directories up to 180 chars long. At len($AAAA)=185, a different error occurred (pip.download.unpack_file_url
callingshutil.copytree
, copying the egg-info directory into a tempdir).marlowe asked some windows admins about how long usernames could be. Their answer:
I filed https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/pycryptopp/ticket/99.
I'm changing the title of this ticket (adding a space after "0.7.1."), because when I went to find this ticket during today's devchat (I loaded the Timeline page as usual, and searched for "pycryptopp"), the string "pycryptopp" was nowhere to be found.
I realized that, on the Timeline page, Trac truncates the ticket descriptions in that view, and the truncation routine must first split on whitespace or something (to avoid splitting a word in half?), because the Timeline page displayed this ticket as
windows vs ...
. By adding a space, I think I can convince Trac to summarize this aswindows vs len("pycryptopp-0.7.1. ...
instead.The recursive nature of this problem made me laugh. Thank you.
