I think I wasn’t clear when we discussed the policy: I think package
names must be prefixed by “python-”.  By “package name” I mean the
‘name’ field of packages, which is what is exposed to the users.

However, I don’t think that scheme should be followed for variable
names: it’s tedious to type, and Guile offers mechanisms to
select/rename bindings imported from other bindings.

Thus I would do:

  (define pytz
    (package
      (name "python-pytz")
      ...))

WDYT?

And what should we call python2-pytz ?

Well, we also have the policy so far that variable name = name field.
I find it consistent, and do not mind typing a few "python-" more or less.
It is not what makes packaging quite a bit of work...

But if others agree, this can still be changed quite easily.

You may wish to suggest a patch to the "packaging guidelines" in the documen-
tation; the ease or lack of ease to formulate a coherent guideline could be
an indication on what we should do...

But the alternative (as I suggested in the packaging guidelines) is as
debianish:

>       ...))

We agree on the outer experience, the question is now how to name variables
internally (which is, admittedly, less important).

Apparently, I am getting tired. Especially the variable names must be
distinct: There is python-pytz (as a module for python=python-3) and
python2-pytz (as a module for python-2) inside the same scheme module.

Unless we wish to create scheme modules python2 and python3, which
I find rather awkward. And if we end up using renamers, it all boils
down to the same thing again.

The pytz module compiled with python-2 and installed into
lib/python2.7/site-packages/, as opposed to the same module compiled
with the default python-3. Compare python-unidecode and python3-unidecode
in debian, for instance.

See Section 6.3.4 of the manual.

Oh, good point.  Well, OK then.

(In guile.scm we used a different convention: ‘guile-reader/guile-1.8’
vs. ‘guile-reader/guile-2.0’, where ‘/’ reads as ‘over’; the ‘name’
field follows a weird convention.)

BTW, I haven’t check whether this is the case already, but we need
something like

  (define (package-with-explicit-python p python)
    ;; Return a version of P built for PYTHON.
    (package (inherit p) ...))

so we can just write:

  (define python2-pytz
    (package-with-explicit-python python-pytz python-2))

The attached patch does almost this, following our offline discussion on
how to create packages recursively on the fly:
- It adds an argument pair "#:python ,python-2", or replaces an already
  present argument "#:python something-else", and this recursively
  for all inputs and native-inputs that use the python build system.
- It rewrites the corresponding names from "python-..." to "python2-...",
  or adds a prefix "python2-".
So one can write
(define python2-pytz
  (package-with-explicit-python python-pytz))
As the second argument would always be python-2, I decided to drop it.

When trying this with python2-babel, the previous code in python.scm
(commented out in the attached patch) and the new one create almost the same
derivations, that differ only in
  /nix/store/4rrnwqsj8c086zzviyypr4fikb7pz49v-python2-babel-0.9.6-guile-builder
vs.
  /nix/store/5prbhg600qa9k8p0bgjs12p4dm682gn8-python2-babel-0.9.6-guile-builder
so that the final hash is also different.

Comments are welcome.

Andreas

Still it’s better to keep it, as a generic version.  Then, we can have:

  (define package-with-python-2
    (cut package-with-explicit-python <> python-2))

and then use that as needed.

Sylistic note: never use ‘car’, ‘cdr’, and co; use ‘match’ instead: it
leads to code that is both more readable and more robust (info "(guile)
Pattern Matching").  In that case, you can even use ‘match-lambda’,
which is equivalent to:

  (lambda (x)
    (match x
      ...))

Second remark: inputs are actually tuples of one of two forms:

  (name package)
  (name package output)

The first form means that we take the default output of PACKAGE; the
second form specifies that we want OUTPUT of PACKAGE.  This makes a
different for multiple-output packages, such as ‘libtool’ (info "(guix)
Packages with Multiple Outputs").

So the ‘rewrite’ procedure must look like this:

  (define rewrite
    (match-lambda
      ((name package)
       ...)
      ((name package output)
       ...)))

(map rewrite (package-inputs p)) is enough; if (package-inputs p) is
null?, then that’ll return the empty list too.

Ditto.

Thanks for working on this!

Hello,

and thanks for your comments! I am attaching a new patch.

I modified with two additional parameters, OLD-PREFIX and NEW-PREFIX:
When going to python-2, one rewrites the prefix "python-" to "python2-".
The current patch would allow to go back to Python 3 by calling
  (package-with-explicit-python p python "python2-" "python-").

This is rather surprising for a language based on lists...
But admittedly, the code becomes more readable.

Or a third one, (name-of-patch store-path-of-patch), which was already
handled. The current patch should handle all cases.

This is something that I had tested, and strangely, it did not work at the
time I made the test. But the error must have lain somewhere else then.

Right, makes sense.

Alternately, to improve separation of concerns, there could be a
separate ‘package-with-name-prefix’ procedure, such that we would do:

  (define package-with-python-2
     (compose (cut package-with-name-prefix <> "python2-")
              (cut package-with-explicit-python <> python-2)))

WDYT?

Yes.

Instead of having ‘rewrite-if-package’, this can be written like this:

  (define rewrite
    (match-lambda
      ((name (? package p) rest ...)
       ...)
      (x    ; something not a package: leave it as is
       x)))

(I would use an internal ‘define’ like this, rather than ‘let’, to
introduce the ‘rewrite’ procedure; that doesn’t change the semantics,
but I find it easier to read.)

Thanks,
Ludo’.

I think one function is enough; there is not much benefit in striving
for maximal generality here, since these two operations should always
be linked in our context.

Ah, but that is less functional, no? ;-)

Thanks for the other suggestions, which look quite interesting. The current
solution looks easier to a Scheme neophyte like me, and as there is no major
objection, I am going to push the patch as it is.

This will allow us to go forward with the other problems in the python build
system, and hopefully package a few more modules!

Andreas

Yeah, right.

No; internal ‘define’ is just syntactic sugar equivalent to ‘letrec*’.
