repo build broken due to pywbem 0.8.1

[Logan V]

pywbem release this afternoon appears to be breaking the repo build on master/liberty.

master gate is broken:

liberty gate broken:

My local liberty build is broken:

I dropped a pin for pywbem<0.8.1 in requirements.txt locally and that fixed it for me.

[Andreas Maier (maiera)]

Hi. I am the maintainer of pywbem. The reason for the OSA build break is the new dependency to the "six" module in the pywbem setup script. It needs that to execute, so it is a prerequisite that needs to be satisfied upfront before the script even starts.
Apparently, six is not available everywhere.

Can you somehow establish this prerequisite, or do you prefer if we rework the setup script to avoid the dependency on six?

[Andreas Maier (maiera)]

On the build break in your local liberty build: pywbem 0.8.1 introduces a dependency to M2Crypto, which is stated in the "install_requires" argument of the setup script. I see that you have M2Crypto at the end of the list of dependencies.

Can you please find out whether moving it before pywbem helps?

[Andreas Maier (maiera)]

Update on the six dependency: The dependency was easy to eliminate, the cost is 2 x 3 lines of type definitions that would otherwise come from six. I assume this will not be the only case where the pre-dependency on six hurts, so I'll go for eliminating it.

[Andreas Maier (maiera)]

I released 0.8.2 to PyPI. That version eliminates the dependency on the "six" package it had during its own installation.

Please try it out to see whether it resolves the issue in the OpenStack Ansible gate checks.

Please also let me know whether you can move the M2Crypto installation before the pywbem installation in your local build, and if so, whether that helps. Note that pywbem does state its dependency on M2Crypto in the 'install_requires' argument of its setup script.

As this package wasn't actually required directly for anything in OSA, it has been removed:
