Python 3.6 on macOS have some SSL problems about cibuildwheel

I've seen this issue too. To the best of my recollection, it was an issue with the fact that any packages from setup_requires are installed in some hackish way that doesn't always work nicely. I ran into a similar issue where installing cffi with setup_requires raised an error because it couldn't find the installed ffi library; again I had to use the pip install workaround.

I would defer this issue to the pip guys...this definitely isn't an issue particular to cibuildwheel.

A note: setup_requires don't use wheels, pip installing the dependencies before is a good optimization (especially when requiring stuff like Cython or Numpy). How this works inside is a mystery for me. Maybe the root of this issue is in setuptools.

Thanks for the report @hroncok. The more I learn about setup_requires, the more I'm sure it shouldn't be used. Packages installed though it are installed in some arcane setuptools way that isn't well supported in a post-pip world.

In summary - don't use setup_requires. If you must use it, preinstall those dependencies using CIBW_BEFORE_BUILD="pip install x y z".

might be solved with pip install certifi?

Any update on this @hroncok? Did you get it working using another method?

Sorry, I have it on my TODO, but new semester have just started here and everything is a bit crazy. I can get back to this in couple of weeks. Dne 9. 10. 2017 20:29 napsal uživatel "Joe Rickerby" < [email protected]>:

That's basically what I have learned as well.
