Error installing organize-tool[textract] with pipx extract-msg (<=0.29.*) and workaround

[kwbr]

With the current version 2.4.0 it is not possible to install the package via PyPi using pipx:

  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pipx/venv_inspect.py", line 54, in get_package_dependencies
    for req in map(Requirement, dist.requires or []):
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/packaging/requirements.py", line 37, in __init__
    raise InvalidRequirement(str(e)) from e
packaging.requirements.InvalidRequirement: Expected closing RIGHT_PARENTHESIS
    extract-msg (<=0.29.*)

This is an issue with a change in the wheel package. See for example: deanmalmgren/textract#461

As a workaround one can first install organize-tool and then manually install a newer version of textract. This works for me.

pipx install organize-tool
pipx runpip organize-tool install textract==1.6.5

Happy and heavy user of the tool. ❤️

Hey thanks for the heart!
I can reproduce this, but I'm not yet sure how to fix this. Maybe pinning wheel to an older version?

Let me know if you have a good solution. I'll try some things in the next days.

It's strange that installing textract separately works. I am not sure how to solve this. I tried debugging this further but following pip installing a package is quiet hard. Others seem to have tried to pin wheel to an older version. Hopefully textract will release an update with a change to the extract-msg dependency.

Also installing with pip into a venv also works. So maybe it's a problem with pipx.

Not sure if this is related; but after upgrading to Python 3.11.3, I cannot install organize-tool[texttract] either using pip. Error seems very weird to me:

pip install organize-tool[textract]
zsh: no matches found: organize-tool[textract]

@lensaffair Could it be related to the project not listing py3.11 as supported on Pypi? https://pypi.org/project/organize-tool/

[gaby]

@tfeldmann @lensaffair I just submitted a PR that adds py3.11 to the pyproject file and the unit-tests.

pip install organize-tool[textract]
zsh: no matches found: organize-tool[textract]

The issue is that zsh considers [] as part of it's syntax instead of passing the arguments to pip. Try to quote it so it's consider a string:

pip install "organize-tool[texttract]"

[lensaffair]

That's it - works like a charm. Thanks a lot!

This should be fixed with v3.
