Cannot pipenv install confluent-kafka 1.4.0 from source (pypi) - no workaround seems to work


There seems to be an issue logged with the current Confluent-Kafka package on pypi:

I have a Dockerfile with the foll code which used to work until the issue happened :

RUN cd /tmp && git clone https://github.com/edenhill/librdkafka.git \
&& cd librdkafka \
&& ./configure --prefix /usr \
&& make \
&& make install \
&& cd .. \
&& rm -rf librdkafka

RUN apk --update add \
......
pip3 install -U setuptools &&\
pip3 install --upgrade pip \
avro-python3\
confluent-kafka[avro]\
confluent-kafka\

ERROR after the issue: Command errored out with exit status 1:
 command: /usr/bin/python3.6 -c 'import sys, setuptools, tokenize; sys.argv[0] = 
 '"'"'/tmp/pip-req-build-14u6lptl/setup.py'"'"'; __file__='"'"'/tmp/pip-req-build-
 14u6lptl/setup.py'"'"';f=getattr(tokenize, '"'"'open'"'"', open)

 __file__, '"'"'exec'"'"'))' egg_info --egg-base /tmp/pip-req-build-14u6lptl/pip-egg-info

on the github page for the issue, there were some suggestions made for work arounds the issue, which I have tried like so:

1) workaround which didnt work:

ENV LIBRDKAFKA_VERSION v1.4.0 \
RUN cd /tmp && git clone https://github.com/edenhill/librdkafka.git \
  && cd librdkafka \
  && git checkout $LIBRDKAFKA_VERSION \
  && ./configure --install-deps --prefix /usr \
  && make \
  && make install 

RUN apk --update add \
......
pip3 install -U setuptools &&\
pip3 install --upgrade pip \
avro-python3\
confluent-kafka[avro]\
confluent-kafka\
....

2) workaround which didnt work:

ENV LIBRDKAFKA_VERSION v1.4.0 \
RUN cd /tmp && git clone https://github.com/edenhill/librdkafka.git \
  && cd librdkafka \
  && git checkout $LIBRDKAFKA_VERSION \
  && ./configure --install-deps --prefix /usr \
  && make \
  && make install

RUN apk --update add \
.....
pip3 install -U setuptools &&\
pip3 install --upgrade pip \
avro-python3\
confluent-kafka[avro]\
--no-binary :all: -i https://test.pypi.org/simple/ confluent-kafka==v1.4.0.1 \
....

ERROR: 
Service 'xxxx' failed to build: The command '/bin/sh -c apk --update add 
avro-python3    
confluent-kafka[avro]    
--no-binary :all: -i https://test.pypi.org/simple/ confluent-kafka==v1.4.0.1 
returned a non-zero code: 1

Im wondering if there is a workaround I havent tried that someone can suggest to get me going until they fix this issue..


Solution

  • Just pin to an old version until they make a new release:

    pip3 install --upgrade pip \
    avro-python3\
    confluent-kafka[avro]==1.3.0\
    

    Also note that installing both the main package (confluent-kafka) and the package with the extra (confluent-kafka[avro]) is unnecessary, you just need to install the package with the extra. You're essentially installing it twice.
