Missing build_tools/cythonize.py on PyPI

[skupr-anaconda]

I found that the Source Distribution on PyPI is missing build_tools/cythonize.py but it exists in GitHub https://github.com/anhaidgroup/py_stringsimjoin/blob/v0.3.5/build_tools/cythonize.py

It causes an error if we build the package from the source:
py_stringsimjoin/join/edit_distance_join_cy.pyx:31:0: 'py_stringsimjoin/similarity_measure/edit_distance.pxd' not found

Directly install using pip suffers from the same problem

Hi, skupr, Eric. I'm the primary developer for py-stringsimjoin right now. I don't have any problems installing py-stringsimjoin in testing on my end and cythonize.py isn't included in releases because it's only used to generate cython code, which is included pregenerated in releases already. Could you guys post more detailed error logs so that I can get a better idea of what's going on on your end? Thanks.

@Anson-Doan We built v0.3.5 with Cython, see https://github.com/AnacondaRecipes/py_stringsimjoin-feedstock/blob/aaa1ef6067e5a8ad0ffc831a6444a752d606838f/recipe/meta.yaml#L29, and we were using the GH archive as it contains the .pxd (and not the .cpp) files required for Cython

Can you post a screenshot of what you tried to do and what error message appeared? Thanks.

I'm fairly sure I'm experiencing the same issue as both skupr & Eric. This gist contains a log of the failed build as outputted by pip, built in a virtualenv containing all other requirements.

the conda-forge skipped cyntonizing because of this

py_stringsimjoin/setup.py

Lines 193 to 194 in 56c7571

	if not is_source_release(root):
	generate_cython()

.
If we inspect the source distribution of the package on PyPI https://inspector.pypi.io/project/py-stringsimjoin/0.3.5/packages/35/71/73a8bff32a36c28e02685090b4ed0e82c8e9d18a7092a1b3d8f2de8fe5ff/py-stringsimjoin-0.3.5.tar.gz/ we can see that the folder build_tools is missing. But it exists on GitHub https://github.com/anhaidgroup/py_stringsimjoin/tree/master/build_tools
