pip install doesn't work

pip install pysfml doesn't work, as advertised in the documentation.

Hello,

Yes, I couldn't upload the binding because apparently the name was taken. I opened a ticket and hope they will answer quickly : https://sourceforge.net/p/pypi/support-requests/713/

Hi. (Sorry if this gets somewhat off topic toward the end)

Apparently this seems to have reached a stalemate. What should people do in the meantime? There seems to be something on PyPi testing, but it doesn't seem to have an actual package either. I have been working with @ollpu (whom I mention merely to get him notified of any further development here) on a project that has somewhat peculiar shipping concern (an addon to Blender 3D, running on Blender's custom build of python on an unpredictable OS.)

Begin TL;DR

For more info about our beast, you can go here: https://github.com/nomelif/Audionodes

It was running ontop of PyGame. Sadly the audio API wasn't really adequate for our usage, and pySFML:s Stream primitive seems to fit our use like a glove.

End TL;DR

Anyway, having wheels or access to sfml via pip would be of great advantage: shipping our software is already a meandering path on the lip of an active volcano, having to ship compilers and c++ libraries is a no-go. Do you have the wheels somewhere? How does one build them cross-platform?

Would pysfml2 work? Or psfml ?

[nomelif]

Or simply sfml, as the imported module is called that?

[MIfeanyi]

@nomelif I agree. I think sfml/sfml2 should work

pip install pySFML not working on Python 3.6 on Windows

[MIfeanyi]

@sonkun At this point I might as well create a temporary name until the name gets freed up...

[Somniantis]

So was there a temporary name created? I tried pySFML, pySFML2, sfml, sfml2, psfml, psfml2. I'd like to install via pip. I'm using python 3.6.3. I also tried using python 3.5.0 and installing with the installer (pySFML-2.3.2.win-amd64-py3.5.exe) from the download page on the website. But importing sfml in my test program gave an error. Something along the lines of python35.dll being wrong for my version of python (there were no residual entries in my environment variables pointing to another version of python).

[MIfeanyi]

How do we go about resolving this issue at this point? Does anyone know the requirements to create a Pips package

[tavurth]

+1

[Mahi]

There are no "requirements" for making one, you just make one... :P @MIfeanyi

[fauskanger]

Any updates on this issue? I give +1 to choosing another name until the name conflict is resolved. As far as I can understand, pySFML is inaccessible over PyPI now, yes?

[fauskanger]

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pySFML (or https://pypi.org/project/pySFML/ ) seems to be empty now.

Just checking in, as it's been about a year: this package has been absent from PyPI and not posted under an alternate name, whereas the first prominent code on the homepage of this project still reads: pip install pySFML. Does anyone connected to the project intend to resubmit to the PyPI?
