syncserver: build error: Package 'setuptools' requires a different Python: 2.7.12 not in '>=3.5'

I am trying to build the most recent version of master (9ef2fb9928a19e807634af01b01b8292ba6e3e05 as of now) of this repository by issuing make test, but I am facing a dependency error:

Requirement already satisfied: setuptools in ./local/lib/python2.7/site-packages (from pyramid==1.5.3->-r requirements.txt (line 3)) (45.0.0)
ERROR: Package 'setuptools' requires a different Python: 2.7.12 not in '>=3.5'
Makefile:27: recipe for target 'local/COMPLETE' failed
make: *** [local/COMPLETE] Error 1

I’ve noticed that the PR has been merged two days ago. I tried again now with the latest version of master and can confirm that the issue is resolved now for me. From my perspective, the issue can be closed.

Thank you very much for your work and the timely fix!

Thank you! I can confirm that using 0bc618a works for me (N.B.: This commit is not referenced in the Git repository by any branch/tag, this is why I had to manually fetch it.). I am just receiving an “error” (I think it’s just a notice despite of the displayed word “error” since both make build and make test complete successfully):

$ make build

In case you can work with a Docker container, in order to ease debugging, I’ve prepared a Docker image for you with which you can reproduce the issue and experiment:

docker pull dignative/mozillasync-issue239:latest
docker run -it dignative/mozillasync-issue239:latest
git clone https://github.com/mozilla-services/syncserver.git
cd syncserver
make build

The image is based on Ubuntu 16.04 and it exhibits the same error as I could observe on my server:

# make build

Requirement already satisfied: setuptools in ./local/lib/python2.7/site-packages (from pyramid==1.5.3->-r requirements.txt (line 3)) (45.0.0)
ERROR: Package 'setuptools' requires a different Python: 2.7.12 not in '>=3.5'
Makefile:27: recipe for target 'local/COMPLETE' failed
make: *** [local/COMPLETE] Error 1

So the issue seems not to be related to the specific configuration of my server. For your reference, this is the Dockerfile I wrote for the image:

FROM ubuntu:16.04
ENV DEBIAN_FRONTEND noninteractive
ENV HOME /root

RUN apt-get update && apt-get -y install apt-utils
RUN apt-get update && apt-get -y install \
    curl \
    git \
    libmariadb-client-lgpl-dev \
    libmysqlclient-dev \
    make \
    python-dev \
    python-virtualenv

JFYI: I tried to reproduce the issue on a vanilla Ubuntu 20.04 installation, but there I cannot even get the make script running because virtualenv dropped the deprecated --no-site-packages option since version 20.0.0.

$ sudo apt install git make python-dev curl
$ curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py --output get-pip.py
$ sudo python2 get-pip.py
$ sudo pip install virtualenv
$ git clone https://github.com/mozilla-services/syncserver.git
$ cd syncserver
$ make build
