This is what pip3 in virtualenv says: #+begin_example Using legacy 'setup.py install' for django-compressor, since package 'wheel' is not installed. Installing collected packages: rjsmin, rcssmin, typing-extensions, sqlparse, asgiref, Django, django-appconf, django-compressor Running setup.py install for django-compressor ... done #+end_example Everything with pure python, i.e. =guix shell python --pure=. > Which directory exactly does it put the templates in? After =pip3 install .= from local source in virtualenv: #+begin_example env/lib/python3.10/site-packages/compressor/templates/ env/lib/python3.10/site-packages/compressor/templates/compressor env/lib/python3.10/site-packages/compressor/templates/compressor/css_file.html env/lib/python3.10/site-packages/compressor/templates/compressor/js_preload.html env/lib/python3.10/site-packages/compressor/templates/compressor/css_preload.html env/lib/python3.10/site-packages/compressor/templates/compressor/js_inline.html env/lib/python3.10/site-packages/compressor/templates/compressor/js_file.html env/lib/python3.10/site-packages/compressor/templates/compressor/css_inline.html #+end_example > Are the templates and other media required for using the package as part > of a program as an end user--or only if you want to *develop* a new > package that is using python-django-compressor? Templates are definitely required in runtime. I have a guixified django project that started throwing error after upgrade - that's how I spotted this problem. I fixed it with copy-recursively in phases. As for suggested solutions, the main problem here is that everything works fine in "normal" python ecosystem, but not in guix build systems.
