[14:52:44] <plop6> hi

[14:53:44] <plop6> i'am trying to use https://github.com/lambdalisue/txt2xls ( txt2xls )

[14:54:13] <plop6> did install with $user: pip install txt2xls

[14:54:43] <plop6> but could not find txt2xls executable

[14:55:09] <dude-x> plop6 did you check if it is in pypi?

[14:55:20] <plop6> how ?

[14:55:26] <dude-x> you may have to do pip install git+https://github.com/lambdalisue/txt2xls.git

[14:55:58] <dude-x> i just google `pypi txt2xls`

[14:59:03] <plop6> on github/lamda***/txt2xls there are saying to install it with : pip install txt2xls

[15:00:52] <dude-x> i have confirmed its on pypi

[15:03:35] <GothAlice> plop6: As a brief note, XLS is the deprecated binary format, and one that may contain executable code (VBScript macros). XLSX is the modern form. Ref: csv2xlsx, tablib (the library I use).

[15:04:14] <dude-x> nice tip

[15:04:35] <GothAlice> (Given Python’s native ‘csv’ module, wiring that together with tablib should be a simple matter. I never liked the proliferation of format-specific packages, e.g. csv2xlsx, given readers and writers are separate concerns.

[15:04:36] <GothAlice> )

[15:05:14] <GothAlice> Permutations, baby! We has them. ;^P

[15:05:27] <plop6> ok will lok to it

[15:18:35] <sttt> Hi, I have some troubles connecting to pypi.org via pip from my server in japan.

[18:43:13] <muhzi> is it possible to upload .egg cross builds on pypi for platforms like android and such?

[18:44:09] <ngoldbaum> muhzi: no, in principle the way to do this these days is to upload wheels, but there isn't a standard for android wheels yet

[18:44:54] <ngoldbaum> there are standards for mac, windows, and so-called "manylinux" wheels, which are wheels built on a very old CentOS setup that make use of the good forward compatibility guarantees in the linux ecosystem

[18:45:07] <ngoldbaum> i believe someone else is working on ARM64 wheels as well?

[18:53:50] <muhzi> ngoldbaum: oh.. and the manylinux wheels standard won't work for android's ecosystem?

[18:54:40] <ngoldbaum> no because android uses bionic

[18:54:47] <ngoldbaum> manylinux only works on systems that use glibc

[18:55:02] <ngoldbaum> ~most desktop and server linux boxes but not things like android or ARM

[18:55:10] <ngoldbaum> or musl either

[18:57:14] <muhzi> I see. thanks for the info!
