astropy: 3.2rc1 setup.py fails with external astropy_helpers
When I am using external astropy helpers , the setup.py commands hang endlessly trying to rebuild the extension modules.
Steps to reproduce on Debian Buster:
- install python3-astropy-helpers (3.1.1)
- install the source tarball from pypi
- set
setup.cfg/[ah_bootstrap]/auto_use = False - run
setup.py
$ python3 setup.py --offline clean

ERROR: An error occurred while attempting to rebuild the extension modules. Please try manually running `./setup.py develop` or `./setup.py build_ext --inplace` to see what the issue was. Extension modules must be successfully compiled and importable in order to import astropy. [astropy]
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "setup.py", line 15, in <module>
from astropy_helpers.setup_helpers import setup
ImportError: cannot import name 'setup' from 'astropy_helpers.setup_helpers' (/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/astropy_helpers/setup_helpers.py)
setup.py develop gives the same error.
The script was starting more and more python instances, and filled the memory (I stopped by hitting Ctrl-C after ~24GB).
This does not happen when using the internal helpers, and not having the Debian package installed.

If it indeed solved the issue, yes please.
@olebole - the helpers 3.2 version is on pypi, so this should ideally be solved now. I’m also pushing 3.2rc2 to pypi any time now (waiting for CI and wheels).
@olebole - yes, it will be. I plan to release the helpers a bit before astropy proper. I don’t expect any more changes to the helpers, but due to the significant refactor it needs to be tested with multiple packages.
I can confirm that it works with the helpers from git, so an updated astropy-helpers would make it. It also works with the “v3.2rc1” tag helper download, which I now uploaded to Debian (experimental) to start later test builds in of astropy 3.2rc1. Please allow me one more day to check for possible arch dependent problems.
