Package: python3
Version: 3.6.7-1~18.04
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
after installing a python package (radiotray) from source with pip3 (sudo pip3
install .) The package is not listed by pip3 (pip3 list), nor can it be
imported.
When checking manually the files a located under: /usr/lib/python3.6/site-
packages/radiotray
But this path is missing in the sys.path of python3:
python3 -m site
sys.path = [
'/home/mat',
'/usr/lib/python36.zip',
'/usr/lib/python3.6',
'/usr/lib/python3.6/lib-dynload',
'/home/mat/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages',
'/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages',
'/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages',
]
USER_BASE: '/home/mat/.local' (exists)
USER_SITE: '/home/mat/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages' (exists)
ENABLE_USER_SITE: True
I am aware of the circumstance that debian place the python module installed as
deb package under dist-packages, but this should not prohibit the usage of pip3
for system wide python modules.
A similar bug issue is: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=765022
Sadly this issue was archived without solving the problem.
So please add the site-packages directory under /usr to the sys.path of
python3.
Propably the following patch need to be adapted to fix this issue:
https://salsa.debian.org/cpython-
team/python3/-/blob/master/debian/patches/sysconfig-debian-schemes.diff
After adding the site-packages directory to the sys.path it should be possible
to use pip3 for install modules system wide.
Cheers Matthias
