Athenaeum-git: WARNING: The wheel package is not available

[clmbtti]

I got a message on pamac saying “WARNING: The wheel package is not available.” whilst attempting at building a package (athenaeum).

You can have this fixed it with:

pamac install python-wheel

@clmbtti

pip install wheel

python packages installed with pip are not tracked by pacman FYI

with pacman we add “python-”

if we not install in home with pip : it’s always very bad to install in system with pip
in arch page, read Required by … if installed by pip, you can’t install these 61 packages

@Lolix

python packages installed with pip are not tracked by pacman

…as it is internal infrastructure of pip, it’s user actions, user configs, files, etc.
Just the same as for npm packages.

~/Desktop ❯ pacman -Qo $(which touch) 
/usr/bin/touch is owned by coreutils 9.0-2

The same as to expect tracking the files created by user using the touch.

---

System packages manager VS project package manager of local user.

Oh sheet, I actually ran a bit later:

pamac install python-wheel  

I was under the impression “pip install wheel” should work, but don’t mind me, I was updating a bunch of stuff.
