SaxonC Python wheels don't work in a virtual environment on Windows
Fixed in Maintenance Release:
Description
Issue Reported by user here: https://saxonica.plan.io/boards/4/topics/9334
I get a strange error (probably on the console error output) running any Python using saxonche 12.1 from PyPi in a venv environment under Windows:
C:\Users\marti\PycharmProjects\SaxonCHE12.1PyPipTest\venv\Scripts\python.exe C:\Users\marti\PycharmProjects\SaxonCHE12.1PyPipTest\processor_test.py
Error processing line 1 of C:\Users\marti\PycharmProjects\SaxonCHE12.1PyPipTest\venv\lib\site-packages\_preload_saxonche_12.1.0.pth:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Shared\Python39_64\lib\site.py", line 169, in addpackage

File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
File "<string>", line 18, in <module>
FileNotFoundError: .load-order-saxonche-12.1.0 not found
Remainder of file ignored
The program then runs without problem and its output appears. But any run of any program using SaxonC emits that error message/warning.

any Python using saxonche 12.1 from PyPi in a venv environment under
Windows:
Can you describe how you setup venv?

Either let I Pycharme do it or I do it from the command line with e.g. python3.exe -m venv saxonche-12.1-test and (on Windows cmd shell then) saxonche-12.1-test\Scripts\activate.bat and then python -m pip install saxonche.

saxonche.
Thanks.
I’ve reproduced it:
PS C:\Users\Norman Walsh> .\saxon-test-1\Scripts\activate
(saxon-test-1) PS C:\Users\Norman Walsh> python -m pip install saxonche

Unfortunately, I’m no closer to having a clue what it means. :-(

- Subject changed from strange error with he 12.1 under Windows when using PyPi package in venv: Error processing line 1 of C:\Users\marti\ProjectPath\venv\lib\site-packages\_preload_saxonche_12.1.0.pth: FileNotFoundError: .load-order-saxonche-12.1.0 not found to SaxonC doesn't work in a virtual environment on Windows
- Subject changed from SaxonC doesn't work in a virtual environment on Windows to SaxonC Python wheels don't work in a virtual environment on Windows
- Status changed from New to Resolved
This appears to have been caused by an unpinned reference to the delvewheel process which was upgraded after our last release. The new versions attempt to deal with delayed loading of DLLs by adding this '.pth' file but that clearly breaks virtual environments.
I've pinned the version of delvewheel to 1.2.0 and that seems to have resolved the problem.
- Status changed from Resolved to Closed
- % Done changed from 0 to 100
- Fixed in version set to 12.2
Bug fix applied in the SaxonC 12.2 maintenance release.
