[gentoo-user] setuptools (python) - how to disable the sandbox ?

[Helmut Jarausch]

Hi,
I want to create an ebuild for a package that's not in the tree  
(http://pypi.python.org/pypi/grako)

Unfortunately, this always fails due to

   File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/setuptools/sandbox.py",  
line 411, in _violation
     raise SandboxViolation(operation, args, kw)
setuptools.sandbox.SandboxViolation: SandboxViolation:  
open('/var/tmp/portage/dev-python/grako-3.99.9/work/grako-3.99.9-python3_6/lib/ptr.py',  
'wb') {}

I wouldn't mind the package to write to its own working directory  
/var/tmp/portage/dev-python/grako-3.99.9/work
but I cannot find out how to disable setuptools.sandbox

I've tried addwrite "$S" and FEATURES=-usersandbox  -sandbox

but nothing helps.

Many thanks for a hint,
Helmut

That's not usually a problem... what phase is this in, and which command
in the ebuild raised the error?

And now that I've actually read the error message, these errors are
coming from setuptools, not from the Gentoo sandbox.

The last time that caused a problem, it was because of a missing
dependency. If your kernel supports it, you can set
FEATURES="network-sandbox" to catch those earlier.

The setup.py file for grako contains this line:

    setup_requires=['pytest-runner'],

You probably forgot to add a dependency on dev-python/pytest-runner to
your ebuild, or forgot to install it before testing.

A better solution yet is to patch setup.py to remove this line
altogether. It is only there to ensure that running "setup.py test"
will work, which is unimportant in an ebuild.
