Trouble building python package

[ahelwer]

I'm trying to run python -m build in the root directory of my tree-sitter parser to test that the python package builds. However, I get the following error (both locally and in the github actions CI):

ERROR Backend subprocess exited when trying to invoke build_wheel

Why is this? Looking at projects that have successfully published to PyPI like tree-sitter-bash my pyproject is the same as theirs. Although it doesn't appear that tree-sitter-bash runs the python -m build command anywhere, it only uploads the package. So is this command necessary really?

[amaanq]

It'd require the use of data_files in setup.py, which is discouraged. Use pip wheel ., that should work, then you can just pip install xxx.whl

[ahelwer]

Assuming you mean pip wheel pack ., it says "No .dist-info directories found in ."

[amaanq]

No, just pip wheel .. Does that not work? I just tried it w/ bash and javascript, and that worked fine

[ahelwer]

Oh okay that did work! Sorry just nix weirdness, I guess pip wheel . is a different command from wheel . when you have wheel installed.

[amaanq]

Oh yeah that is interesting, never knew about wheel, and wheel . doesn't work for me as well, not sure what the difference is tbh
