Yeap, can confirm "python-pip" seems to solve the problem. I left the feed back on the "python-habanero" page.

@m040601 Thank you for the feedback and the debugging efforts! Much appreciated.

With regards to the difficulty of the PKGBUILD, it is actually a fairly standard Python package PKGBUILD, although it does have quite a few dependencies.

Regarding the Habanero dependencies, it looks like it is ultimately due to the python-pip package not being installed. As mentioned over in the python-habanero package, would you mind installing python-pip as a dependency, and letting me know whether it resolves your issue? I don't think papis itself will require a rebuild if the habanero dependency is fixed.

Thanks to the maintainer of this PKGBUILD for his work.

It is not an easy job I guess.

Could you please respond to the comments, and confirm that this PKGBUILD is actually currently building without errors and working properly on your system ?

This is such a complicated PKGBUILD with loootz of dependencies on the official packages and AUR packages. And a troublesome history of failing because of it. It is therefore necessary to constantl keep an an eye on papis itself, but also its dependencies.

I'm having trouble and cant get it to build. Already tried all standard procedures, clean AUR root etc.

Currently getting some errors, something about "python-habanero", https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-habanero ,

    Habanero is a low level client for working with Crossref's search API.

I'm not an expert, neither in python nor PKGBUILDs. But I did tried to build "python-habanero" alone, and it indeed fails. So that seems, I guess, to be the culprit. Already left a message there.

I also tried "papis-git" and it is the same error In the middle of the long build,


   $   File "/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 1135, in best_match

Later at the end,

checking dependencies...

And I still end up with a messed system. Because, even though it failed to install, it installed these dependencies and failed to remove them (roll back)

Package (4)          New Version  Net Change

python-arxiv2bib     1.0.8-1        0.05 MiB
python-bibtexparser  1.4.0-1        0.42 MiB

python-isbnlib       3.10.14-2      0.47 MiB

Lastly I checked if I could use pipx

pipx install papis

And that option did work. You end up with an isolated virtual environment of 50 Mega in your ~/.local/pipx because of all the papis dependencies.

I would never use "pip install papis", as they say in the papis README , because I dont want more mess in my system

python-certifi should be added to the dependencies, or getting errors:

Getting this error:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'colorama'

Adding the package manually using pacman -S python-colorama resolved the issue.

Might want to add python-colorama to the dependencies.

Getting an error with newest installation "configparser.NoSectionError: No section: 'settings'" The full errordump is at pastebin

Resolved by adding the [settings] section in the config-file

Version 0.11.1 has been updated, and is patched to allow the current version of python-isbnlib.
