Package: python3-pip
Version: 20.3.4-4
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
python3-pip in unstable currently performs version comparisons
incorrectly involving Python 3.10 (is it performing a string
comparison?). Consider the following examples (Debian package
python3-pytest is installed.)
Python 3.9 shows the correct behavior:
talbert@debian-unstable:~$ python3.9 -m virtualenv --system-site-packages
env_3.9
created virtual environment CPython3.9.9.final.0-64 in 109ms
creator CPython3Posix(dest=/home/talbert/env_3.9, clear=False,
no_vcs_ignore=False, global=True)
seeder FromAppData(download=False, pip=bundle, setuptools=bundle,
wheel=bundle, via=copy, app_data_dir=/home/talbert/.local/share/virtualenv)
added seed packages: pip==20.3.4, pkg_resources==0.0.0, setuptools==44.1.1,
wheel==0.34.2
activators
BashActivator,CShellActivator,FishActivator,NushellActivator,PowerShellActivator,PythonActivator
talbert@debian-unstable:~$ source env_3.9/bin/activate
(env_3.9) talbert@debian-unstable:~$ pip install pytest
Requirement already satisfied: pytest in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages (6.2.5)
Python 3.10 shows the incorrect behavior (typing-extensions is installed
when it should NOT be):
talbert@debian-unstable:~$ python3.10 -m virtualenv --system-site-packages
env_3.10
created virtual environment CPython3.10.0.final.0-64 in 101ms
creator CPython3Posix(dest=/home/talbert/env_3.10, clear=False,
no_vcs_ignore=False, global=True)
seeder FromAppData(download=False, pip=bundle, setuptools=bundle,
wheel=bundle, via=copy, app_data_dir=/home/talbert/.local/share/virtualenv)
added seed packages: pip==20.3.4, pkg_resources==0.0.0, setuptools==44.1.1,
wheel==0.34.2

talbert@debian-unstable:~$ source env_3.10/bin/activate
(env_3.10) talbert@debian-unstable:~$ pip install pytest
Requirement already satisfied: pytest in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages (6.2.5)
Requirement already satisfied: importlib-metadata>=0.12 in
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages (from pytest) (4.6.4)
Collecting typing-extensions>=3.6.4
Using cached typing_extensions-4.0.0-py3-none-any.whl (22 kB)
Installing collected packages: typing-extensions
Successfully installed typing-extensions-4.0.0
See the metadata for importlib-metadata which shows that
typing-extensions should only be installed for Python < 3.8:
talbert@debian-unstable:~$ cat
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/importlib_metadata-4.6.4.egg-info/requires.txt
[:python_version < "3.8"]
typing-extensions>=3.6.4
These problems seem to be downstream problems, as if I install the upstream
version of pip 20.3.4, it behaves correctly.
