Cython builds dropped in 1.2.1 about geohash-hilbert

[tammoippen]

Hi @gorlins,

Thank you for the kind words! In version 1.2.1 i changed the dev dependency manager from pipenv to poetry. All else should be the same. I guess, what you experienced is a missing cython during install (and maybe some caching?). The cythonize happens during execution of the setup.py script, i.e. cython has to be in the PATH at that time. With pipenv / poetry i do not know the install order of dev / prod dependencies and whether dev deps will be available for prod deps on install ( i guess not). To be sure dependencies will be cythonized, cython should be installed globally or in the corresponding venv before installing geohash-hilbert. I hope this helps.

Best, Tammo

hmm... i think you are partially right, on further inspection fresh rebuilds of an environ even with Cython in a pipfile --dev and the cython deps do not work, even at 1.2.0. However, reinstalling that dependency fixes the issue. I thought --dev deps were supposed to be installed first via pipenv, but it appears this is not working in this case.

However, even with Cython already in the pipenv, I'm not able to install >=1.2.1 and get the cython extensions to work. I'm not fully a master of pip cache internals, but I think this shows that the build is not working properly:

mmmh.... after a lot of trail and error I found this: pypa/pip#6144

Basically, since pip 19.0, they use isolated builds, if a pyproject.toml is present (since geohash-hilbert >=1.2.1) - hence the pip install does not see cython. For now, you can either install pip 18.1 or wait a bit until i create the next release with the pyproject.toml removed.

Can you please test, whether v1.4.0 works for you.

Sorry I dropped out to prioritize other things, we can test soon I think. Thank you!
