@emilazy @natsukium Having trouble with infinite recursion (sopel -> sopel-help -> sopel -> ...)

Help would be welcome

@mog (sopel maintainer)

Please remove sopel-help from sopel's dependencies, since sopel doesn't directly depend on sopel-help.

Please remove sopel-help from sopel's dependencies, since sopel doesn't directly depend on sopel-help. github.com/search?q=repo%3Asopel-irc%2Fsopel+sopel_help&type=code

I added it because of:

Executing pythonRuntimeDepsCheck
Checking runtime dependencies for sopel-8.0.0-py3-none-any.whl
  - sopel-help not installed

This seems reasonable but it’d probably be best to split out the substantive sopel changes into another PR, as they don’t seem necessary to drop this package and I’m not entirely sure how we should handle the circular dependency here.

Result of nixpkgs-review pr 330509 at 5f4744f0 run on x86_64-linux 1

I think the current hack is fine for the circular dependency, but sopel-help tests don't pass.

I was thinking we’d probably want a standard sopel installation to include sopel-help, since that seems to be the intention of the upstream, but I don’t know how that would be best accomplished (a wrapper package?). In any case it should be handled in another PR, I think.

We are working on separating build and runtime inputs for python packages in the future, and it will be resolved then. #272178

Just removed sopel-help since is it no longer require, will open pr if I get it to build

@ofborg build python312Packages.sopel
