how to define inputs for python packages

how to define inputs for python packages

[Reza Alizadeh Majd]

Hi Guix,

I'm a little confused about definition of inputs for a python based
package.

I had defined a package for a python library that I wrote, defining the
dependencies as `inputs`, package builds successfully, and all my tests
will be passed.

but when I try to import this library to another program, I receive
various errors about missing dependencies of the library. (the ones
that I defined as `inputs` for the library).

is there any rule that I missed to choose a dependency as an `input` or
as a `propageted-input` one?

Regards, 
Reza

Hi,

I’d say that you always need to declare `python-*` dependencies as
`propagated-inputs`, unless it’s something required for building and
testing the package, exclusively, in which case the package in question
goes to `native-inputs`.

As an aside, it’s the same for `r-*` packages.

This is described in the manual:
