Submitted:	26 Feb 2015 12:14	Modified:	25 Mar 2022 17:57
Reporter:	Thomas Grainger	Email Updates:

Description:
The pypi packages hosted for mysql-connector-python is missing any uploaded packages.

pip consideres "externally hosted files" deprecated and it's recommended to avoid them.

How to repeat:
$ pip install mysql-connector-python
Downloading/unpacking mysql-connector-python
  Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement mysql-connector-python
  Some externally hosted files were ignored (use --allow-external mysql-connector-python to allow).
Cleaning up...
No distributions at all found for mysql-connector-python
Storing debug log for failure in /home/graingert/.pip/pip.log

Suggested fix:
wget https://cdn.mysql.com/Downloads/Connector-Python/mysql-connector-python-2.0.3.zip
unzip mysql-connector-python-2.0.3.zip
cd mysql-connector-python-2.0.3
python setup.py sdist register upload

Hello Thomas Grainger,

Thank you for the report.
Observed similar behavior on OL6.

Thanks,
Umesh

Hello, thanks for your bug report and yes, we know how to upload to pypi.
We will do it whenever we can. For now, externally hosted is the only way.

typo

pip is no longer able to download mysql-python-connector. To resolve this issue, package maintainers should refer to the information contained in following URLs:

https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0438/#api-for-submitting-external-distribution-urls

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19690971/registering-a-package-to-pypi-with-an-external...

PyPi no longer will show download URIs and is in the process of removing them from existing entries.

https://pypi.python.org/simple/mysql-connector-python/ is already empty.

There is now no way to install mysql-connector-python using package managers.

Oracle is urged to either set up a PyPi index of their own so that users can use '--extra-index-url' to point their pip's at Oracle to install MySQL/connector-Python or upload the package to PyPi using 'sdist and bdist_wheel' commands in setup.py

Installing mysql-connector-python through pip no longer works:

❯ pip --version
pip 8.0.3 from /Users/jimmy/src/mysqlpiptest/env/lib/python2.7/site-packages (python 2.7)

❯ python --version
Python 2.7.10

❯ pip install mysql-connector-python --allow-external mysql-connector-python
DEPRECATION: --allow-external has been deprecated and will be removed in the future. Due to changes in the repository protocol, it no longer has any effect.
Collecting mysql-connector-python
  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement mysql-connector-python (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for mysql-connector-python

Please can someone take a look at this?

For the Python ecosystem PyPI is the recommended means of obtaining packages, and the package there is still v2.0.4 (ie bug 78982), as well as externally hosted - so longer possible to download using pip.

So it turns out Oracle is actually being reasonable, if a little silent on the issue.

The terms of use at https://www.python.org/about/legal/ provide in pertinent part as follows:

"third party content providers grant the PSF and all other users of the web site an irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, nonexclusive license to reproduce, distribute, transmit, display, perform, and publish such content, including in digital form"

Unfortunately this does not say the PSF and its users are getting a license under the GPL. e.g., the GPL is not an irrevocable license - it contains an express termination provision that is invoked if you do not comply with its terms). If content providers are bound by those terms to begin with, for someone to upload GPLed content under that license probably either means they are violating the GPL (e.g., if someone else uploaded Oracle's GPL licensed content), or, if they are the sole copyright holder, they are granting the PSF and all its users a different license than the GPL to that material. That doesn't work for the obvious reasons.
