pipx install holmes fails due to MySQL dependency

Open Munken opened this issue 3 months ago • 4 comments

What happened?

pipx install holmes
Fatal error from pip prevented installation. Full pip output in file:
    /home/mmu/.local/state/pipx/log/cmd_2025-09-28_20.48.14_pip_errors.log

pip seemed to fail to build package:
    mysql-python<1.3.0,>=1.2.5

Some possibly relevant errors from pip install:
    error: subprocess-exited-with-error
    ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ConfigParser'

Error installing holmes.

What did you expect to happen?

It installed

How can we reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible)?

Running this on Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS with python 3.

Anything else we need to know?
