setup: running `python3 setup install` with proxy failed with connection error

[smrtos]

I am setting up labgrid on Ubuntu in company network behind a proxy I have setup below environment variables:

http_proxy=http://xxx:port
https_proxy=http://xxx:port
HTTP_PROXY=http://xxx:port
HTTPS_PROXY=http://xxx:port

And run below command according to the doc:

sudo python3 setup.py install

But always met below error:

fastentrypoints

How to fix this? Thanks!

You could try installing setuptools_scm via pip before running setup.py install (you shouldn't need to run this with sudo):

labgrid-venv $ pip install setuptools_scm

I have to use the sudo to suppress below error:

The following error occurred while trying to add or remove files in the
installation directory:

    [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/test-easy-install-2666845.write-test'

The installation directory you specified (via --install-dir, --prefix, or
the distutils default setting) was:

    /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/

Perhaps your account does not have write access to this directory?  If the
installation directory is a system-owned directory, you may need to sign in
as the administrator or "root" account.  If you do not have administrative
access to this machine, you may wish to choose a different installation
directory, preferably one that is listed in your PYTHONPATH environment
variable.

And I did try to install the ``setuptools_scm` first. It is ready I think:

xxx@xxx-box01:~/github/labgrid$ pip3 install setuptools-scm
Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable
Requirement already satisfied: setuptools-scm in /home/xxx/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages (6.3.2)
Requirement already satisfied: packaging>=20.0 in /home/xxx/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages (from setuptools-scm) (21.0)
Requirement already satisfied: setuptools in /home/xxx/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages (from setuptools-scm) (63.4.1)
Requirement already satisfied: tomli>=1.0.0 in /home/xxx/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages (from setuptools-scm) (1.2.2)
Requirement already satisfied: pyparsing>=2.0.2 in /home/xxx/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages (from packaging>=20.0->setuptools-scm) (2.4.7)

But still the same error.

You are not using the recommended way of installation (virtualenv). Please use that.

You are using a mixture of user installation (pip) and system-wide installation (sudo python3 setup.py install). You can't expect a "user installed" package to be visible in the system installation. Please stick to the recommended installation via virtualenv, see our docs.

I assume the issue is solved if you stick to the recommended installation instructions. If not, please reopen.
