Hi,

For some packages we get this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix import pypi jaxlib
guix import: error: no source release for pypi package jaxlib 0.1.67
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

and indeed, there’s no “sdist” (source distribution), only
“bdist_wheel” (.whl files).

Nevertheless, should the importer do something smarter here?  The
metadata at <https://pypi.org/pypi/jaxlib/json> doesn’t contain info
about the source repository (though it contains the home page at
github.com).  Would it make sense to build from a .whl file or does this
necessarily include generated code and other byproducts?

Thanks,
Ludo’.

Hi!

So for now I “fixed” it by displaying a hint in commit
00762a4c4c8ecdd71cccf6afdd87ae68bf9b4964.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ ./pre-inst-env guix import pypi jaxlib
guix import: error: no source release for pypi package jaxlib 0.1.76

hint: This indicates that the package is available on PyPI, but only as a "wheel" containing
binaries, not source.  To build it from source, refer to the upstream repository at
`https://github.com/google/jax'.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Ludo’.
