Hi, let's pick up on this issue and systematically design the test-cases to benchmark the proposed solutions. I already prepared a test-script to simplify this and will provide a full description as later.
**Please comment if any relevant case is missing or if any case can be skipped** 1) Test-cases For all environments (see below) these cases must give the expected output - which is defined by what a "foreign distribution's" python would do: - "installed" python - venv with and without --system-site-packages - stacked venv with and without --system-site-packages 2) Environments to be tested. The proposed solution must pass the test-suite in all of these environments: 2.1 guix environment: guix environment --ad-hoc python -- python3 testit --> Expected outcome: site-packages from GUIX_ENVIRONEMENT 2.2 guix environment with container: guix environment -C --ad-hoc python -- python3 testit --> Expected outcome: site-packages from GUIX_ENVIRONEMENT 2.3 Installed package *without setting the environment variables!* guix package -i python && ~/.guix-profile/bin/python3 testit --> Expected outcome: site-packages from ~/.guix-profile/ --> Shall this work, too? Is it nice-to-have or useless? 2.4 running from /gnu/store (directly) $(readlink -f ~/.guix-profile/bin/python3) testit --> Expected outcome: site-packages from /gnu/store --> What is the expected outcome? What is the expected 2.5 running from /gnu/store (via link) ln -s $(readlink -f ~/.guix-profile/bin/python3) /tmp/test-guix-pythonA.exe ; /tmp/test-guix-pythonA.exe testit --> Expected outcome: site-packages from /gnu/store 2.6 Installed in GuixSD --> Do we need to test this? Or is this already covered by one of the other cases? -- Regards Hartmut Goebel | Hartmut Goebel | h.goe...@crazy-compilers.com | | www.crazy-compilers.com | compilers which you thought are impossible |
