Subject: Packaging a python library that is implemented with rust
Date: Tue, 20 Oct 2020 08:40:19 +0330

Hi,

I'm not expert in rust and python but I need to package a python library, and this python library is a wrapper over the rust library. This library is using the `setuptools_rust` for build/install. 
* python library: https://github.com/etesync/etebase-py
* rust library: https://github.com/etesync/etebase-rs
* `setup.py`: https://github.com/etesync/etebase-py/blob/master/setup.py

Anyway I need to package this python library. Since guix has two different build system for `python` and `rust` I don't know how can I package it. It's a python library but it should install some rust library inside the python system build.

* This is package definition of `python-setuptools-rust`:
```
(define-public python-setuptools-rust
  (package
    (name "python-setuptools-rust")
    (version "0.11.3")
    (source
      (origin
        (method url-fetch)
        (uri (pypi-uri "setuptools-rust" version))
        (sha256
          (base32
            "1p21sw77197m7pciy8g25bwwaakq1675h0x1lis9sypzr46p2s11"))))
    (build-system python-build-system)
    (native-inputs
     `(("python-setuptools" ,python-setuptools)
       ("python-setuptools-scm" ,python-setuptools-scm)
       ("python-wheel" ,python-wheel)))
    (propagated-inputs
      `(("python-semantic-version"
         ,python-semantic-version)
        ("python-toml" ,python-toml)))
    (home-page
      "https://github.com/PyO3/setuptools-rust")
    (synopsis "Setuptools rust extension plugin")
    (description "Setuptools rust extension plugin")
    (license license:expat)))
```


* And this is package definition of `python-etebase`. 
```
(define-public python-etebase
  (package
    (name "python-etebase")
    (version "0.30.0")
    (source
      (origin
        (method url-fetch)
        (uri (pypi-uri "etebase" version))
        (sha256
          (base32
            "1py635aqnxx3jy4x6zffriqi0l9gc2gk06h0ms91k4rs68h0gb0i"))))
    (build-system python-build-system)
    (native-inputs
      `(("python-msgpack" ,python-msgpack)
        ("python-setuptools-rust" ,python-setuptools-rust)))
    (inputs
      `(("rust-etebase-rs" ,rust-etebase-rs)))
    (home-page
      "https://github.com/etesync/etebase-py")
    (synopsis "Python client library for Etebase")
    (description "Python client library for Etebase")
    (license #f)))
```


This is the error in package building:

Sorry for duplication, I sent this email here too: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2020-10/msg00092.html
then I thought this mailing list is better for asking this type questions.

Hello Hamzeh,

I think part of the issue here, is that the build system for etebase-py 
tries to also build etebase-rs, which you have already packaged.  There
are two ways you could continue here:

1. Patch the build system of etebase-py, so that it works with your
already built etebase-rs.

2. Pull in the etebase-rs source as input to etebase-py and build
everything as one package.

I am not sure, which option makes more sense here.  I do lean a bit
more towards #1, but others may weigh in on this as well.  I'm pretty
sure you can disregard setuptools-rust if you choose #1.  If you do #2,
you might have to mix some of the rust-build-system phases into python-
etebase.

Regards, Leo

The original list was better suited for this kind of question.  This
list is about actual *bugs*, rather than general question.  I see you've
had a reply from Leo; hopefully that answered your question.

Closing.
