Subject: bug#73304: Python in relocatable guix pack leads to wrong sys.path
Date: Mon, 16 Sep 2024 19:23:04 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87ed5j1jzd.fsf@protonmail.com> (raw)


When I add both python and a python package (seems like any) to a
relocatable guix pack, the resulting python in the merged profile seems
to be broken. Specifically its `sys.path` contains missing paths.

To replicate:
```
mkdir -p /tmp/b && cd /tmp/b
tar xzvf $(guix pack -RR python python-pyflakes -S /profile=)`
```

Then try executing the python from merged profile, and see sys.path output
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
./profile/bin/python3
>>> import sys
>>> print(sys.path)
['', '/tmp/b/pwajwfiygrkmag8fm1wzn3cf362j7sri-python-3.10.7R/lib/python310.zip', '/tmp/b/pwajwfiygrkmag8fm1wzn3cf362j7sri-python-3.10.7R/lib/python3.10', '/tmp/b/pwajwfiygrkmag8fm1wzn3cf362j7sri-python-3.10.7R/lib/python3.10/lib-dynload', '/tmp/b/pwajwfiygrkmag8fm1wzn3cf362j7sri-python-3.10.7R/lib/python3.10/site-packages']
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Now if you instead use the realpath of this python
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$(realpath ./profile/bin/python3)
>>> import sys
>>> print(sys.path)
['', '/tmp/b/gnu/store/pwajwfiygrkmag8fm1wzn3cf362j7sri-python-3.10.7R/lib/python310.zip', '/tmp/b/gnu/store/pwajwfiygrkmag8fm1wzn3cf362j7sri-python-3.10.7R/lib/python3.10', '/tmp/b/gnu/store/pwajwfiygrkmag8fm1wzn3cf362j7sri-python-3.10.7R/lib/python3.10/lib-dynload', '/tmp/b/gnu/store/pwajwfiygrkmag8fm1wzn3cf362j7sri-python-3.10.7R/lib/python3.10/site-packages']
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

As can be observed, the first instance misses "gnu/store" in the path,
and instead points to a path that does not exist. I have not
investigated, at least not yet, where this discrepancy comes from.
I was not able to replicate this with anything else than relocatable
pack. So my guess would be something strange happens when making
bwrap/fakechroot etc.

Rutherther
