Hi Guix, I am trying to use uv https://docs.astral.sh/uv/ , a high-performance Python package and project manager written in Rust, but any attempt to install a Python package in a Python virtual environment runs into a Failed to download error, e.g.:
$ uv init uv-test Initialized project `uv-test` at `/home/scolobb/tmp/uv-test` $ cd uv-test/ $ uv add polars Using CPython 3.11.11 interpreter at: /home/scolobb/.guix-home/profile/bin/python3.11 Creating virtual environment at: .venv Resolved 3 packages in 15ms × Failed to download `polars-runtime-32==1.34.0` ├─▶ Failed to extract archive: polars_runtime_32-1.34.0-cp39-abi3-manylinux_2_17_x86_64.manylinux2014_x86_64.whl ╰─▶ compression not supported: 8 help: If you want to add the package regardless of the failed resolution, provide the `--frozen` flag to skip locking and syncing. I get a very similar error if I try uv pip install polars, or uv run --with polars main.py. I did quite a bit of searching, and I don't seem to find similar failures for this very simple scenario. Setting up virtual environments with python3 -m venv works on my system without any issue. Does anyone have similar symptoms? Would you have any suggestions as to how to debug this? Thanks! - Sergiu
