Pip hangs when installing PyInstaller

[skysb]

I have cloned the repo to upgrade the Python version to 3.9.0 for the windows 64 file and PyInstaller 4.0.
The changes were the two environment variables as above and Python37 replaced with Python39.
Whilst the image for docker is being created, it reaches the following point:

Collecting pyinstaller==4.0
Downloading pyinstaller-4.0.tar.gz (3.5 MB)
Installing build dependencies: started

And it gets stuck there and doesn´t continue. I have tried downgrading the python version to 3.8.5 and Pyinstaller to 3.6 and yet the issue occurs.
I have also tried manually installed PIP in the docker file to version 20.0.2 as commented in this post:

and yet no success, it hangs at the same point.

pypa/pip#8183

The Linux image gets created correctly with the above changes but it´s the windows image that fails always.
Is there something that's being done wrong?

Cheers

I have experienced this same problem today.

Same issue here. I played around with permissions but that didn't change anything. I also ran "pip install pyinstaller==3.6" as an admin in cmd, which worked and successfully installed and built the dependencies. However, I ran the startup.sh file again and it got stuck at the exact same point again.
I'm also getting the following error and am unsure what it means.
=> [5/10] RUN /usr/bin/pip install pyinstaller==3.6 499.6s
=> => # 009c:err:ntoskrnl:ZwLoadDriver failed to create driver L"\Registry\Machine\System\CurrentControlSet\Servi
=> => # ces\wineusb": c0000142
=> => # Collecting pyinstaller==3.6

=> => # Installing build dependencies: started

Hi, i'm having the same issue here.
I used this repo as a base for a custom environment, just added a few lines in order to install some dependencies.

The image worked like a charm a few months ago (June/August 2020) then i always used it and it caused no problem at all.
Some days ago I had to change PC and had to build the image again. Today i tried to build it, but without luck.

It gets stuck at this point of the building process, as the other users pointed out.

Step 20/30 : RUN /usr/bin/pip install pyinstaller==$PYINSTALLER_VERSION

Collecting pyinstaller==3.6

Here are some info about the docker env:

• Ubuntu 16:04 (docker base image)
• PYTHON_VERSION=3.7.5
• PYINSTALLER_VERSION=3.6
• PIP_VERSION=20.0.2

I could post the whole building process standard output, but its huge.
If you think this could help, tell me.

EDIT

1. Also tried to use pip==20.2.2... No luck though.
2. Tried changing multiple PCs... Still no luck.
3. Installing the package via pip using the wheel file seems to be working. I wouldn't call it a fully functioning workaround though: when I tried to use the built docker image, pip froze while installing my project's requirements (from a requirements.txt file)... The package it froze to is backcall but i don't know if it is relevant or not (my guess is that it's unrelated). It's the second package in the requirements.txt file.

I had tried all the above to, downgrading to pip 20.2.2 and doing it in different PCs. What makes it curious is the fact that the linux builds work just fine and they are very similar in terms of functionalilty, but for some reason, maybe using wine, it fails getting the dependencies.

We had the same problem yesterday. We solved it by downgrading wine from wine-testing to wine-stable.

[mgiacopu]

@lraphael that's it! Thank you so much! It was such a simple tweak...

[lraphael]

Yes, the solution is simple and yet it took us a few hours yesterday to understand it.

[skysb]

Are we sure this is the solution? I mean it did generate the dockerfile for me (after having updated the windows 64 file where python was changed to 3.9 (and its corresponding folders) and pyinstaller to 4.0), I run the docker command and get the following error::

standard_init_linux.go:211: exec user process caused "no such file or directory"
has this happened to anyone else?

Can you guys help me with this ? I mean i know this is another issue but the problem is docker so i want your help.. <3

Tl;dr Works

We had the same problem yesterday. We solved it by downgrading wine from wine-testing to wine-stable.

Longer version:
I run into the same problem when updating https://github.com/delijati/docker-shiv from python3.6.8 to 3.7, 3.8, 3.9. Apparently in winehq-staging (same as wine-testing!?) is a bug that hangs on PIPE from one subprocess to the other.

Example code:

import subprocess

ps = subprocess.Popen(('python', '--version'), stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
output = subprocess.check_output([
    "python", "-c", 'import sys;print("".join(sys.stdin))'
], stdin=ps.stdout)
ps.wait()

print(output)

Strace:

$ sudo strace -s 99 -ffp <PID>
strace: Process 152006 attached
read(6, 

proc/stack:

sudo cat /proc/<PID>/stack 
[<0>] pipe_wait+0x6f/0xc0
[<0>] pipe_read+0x20b/0x2f0
[<0>] new_sync_read+0x122/0x1b0
[<0>] __vfs_read+0x29/0x40
[<0>] vfs_read+0xab/0x160
[<0>] ksys_read+0x67/0xe0
[<0>] __x64_sys_read+0x1a/0x20
[<0>] do_syscall_64+0x57/0x190
[<0>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9

This seams pretty severe wine bug. Can someone with a wine login can report that bug https://bugs.winehq.org/ :)

I had the same problem when trying to use Dockerfile-py3-win64.
Same solution worked by changing the current version of winehq-staging (and not wine-testing) to winehq-stable.

Getting the same issue, have you found the issue? @skysb
