I have the same issue. Did you figure out a solution for this?

[itssimon]

Yeah, I did actually. This is because of a case-insensitive file system and the BUILD file. You have to rename the BUILD file and adjust the references to it in setup.py

[suneeta-mall]

Thanks @itssimon .. ^^

[ysimonson]

Is anyone still seeing this? I can't seem to reproduce it with a case-insensitive APFS volume. The latest changes may have happened to fix it, or changes from setuptools between when this issue was filed and today.

[itssimon]

Installing via pip install python-pachyderm still gives the same error. Installing directly from GitHub via pip install git+https://github.com/pachyderm/python-pachyderm.git does work though.

In order to close this issue I propose publishing a new version to PyPI.

[ysimonson]

Great! Agreed, I'll close this out once a new version is published. That's a WIP because we need to transfer ownership.

Latest version is up: https://pypi.org/project/python-pachyderm/1.8.5.post1/
