python-related: switch from py*-pil to path-based dependency (maintained, no openmaintainer)

[Ionic (Mihai Moldovan)]

In accordance with communication on the MP users mailing list, I have changed py*-pil dependencies to path:-based ones satisfiable by both py*-pil and py*-Pillow.

This patchset is tracking and targeted at maintained non-openmaintainer ports.

Don't commit the patchset without maintainer consent, please. I'll update this ticket as I get responses.

(Not CC'ing maintainers, as I have sent them eMails individually and people don't need to be bothered for other stuff but their own ports.)

Three out of seven ports are about pyphant. Please see also #40347. I would suggest to "clean up" pyphant either before or at the same time as committing this change. We could also remove support for python26 which is only there because of py26-wxwidgets-2.8 (to allow side-by-side installation with py27-wxwidgets-3.0) and wxWidgets 2.8 are no longer required.

I'm OK either way. Your updated Portfile replacing all 6 ports is only requiring a change on line 150 to "path:${python.pkgd}/PIL:py${python.version}-Pillow"

Also, please note that 2 of my differences are only changing comments for pyphant ports py-pyphant-tools and py-pyphant-osc.

My changes do not depend on the python version, as far as it is 2.6 or up. :) Feel free to remove anything.

For python PortGroup ports, the change is even pretty trivial.

Please note that I didn't even see your patch ;)

[Ionic (Mihai Moldovan)]

Just regard those changes as non-existent for your pyphant cleanup.

There's no need to wait for pushing the changes to the (current) 3 pyphant ports.

I'll attach a patch for your cleaned up Portfile later today in the other ticket.

gpodder will be handled in #44306. Can be removed from this ticket. Patchset will be updated soon.

py-SRPAstro will be handled in #44308. Can be removed from this ticket. Patchset will be updated soon.

Switch from py*-pil to path:-based dependency satisfiable by both py*-pil and py*-Pillow. Add openmaintainer to py-aplpy and py-psychopy on maintainer request. Add Pillow compat patch to py-psychopy.

py-aplpy does not install for me, due to dependency py-pyregions, see #44391;

[petrrr]

In r122358 I committed the patch for py-aplpy and py-psychopy.

I will leave decision on how to further proceed with the py-pyphant-* related stuff to mojca and the maintainers.

The commented-out dependencies in py-pyphant-tools and py-pyphant-osc are outdated and have been removed. The suggested patch for py-pyphant-imageprocessing will break the port, as PIL is also a dependency on the setuptools level. The runtime plugin mechanism for adding the py-pyphant-imageprocessing toolbox to py-pyphant will fail when it cannot resolve this dependency as it is based on pkg_resources. The Pillow/PIL fallback mechanism would also have to be implemented on the setuptools level. We are working on a solution for py-pyphant-imageprocessing. Any helpful input is welcome. We have also set all pyphant related ports to openmaintainer.

I committed r122639 to merge the pyphant ports. The comment about PIL probably still applies (I didn't even try), so I didn't touch it.

Thanks (also to Mojca!) :)

Thanks for checking.

Unfortunately, I cannot provide any help. I've been looking around the setuptools documentation, but couldn't find any mention of multiple dependencies/packages satisfying one dependency. Maybe there is just no such thing in setuptools yet?

I would suggest to either rename this ticket or to close it and open a new one devoted just to this single issue (PIL & pyphant). All the other trivial patches have been applied already. Maybe opening a new one is better?

I have opened ticket #44472 regarding py27-pyphant-imageprocessing and PIL/Pillow
