tritonclient version 2.61.0 not installing on macOS with UV due to perf-analyzer not having macOS arm64 wheels

[martinkozle]

I am unable to install the latest version of tritonclient on my MacBook M4 using UV due to the following error:

> uv init .
> uv add 'tritonclient==2.61.0'
Resolved 8 packages in 35ms
error: Distribution `perf-analyzer==2.59.1 @ registry+https://pypi.org/simple` can't be installed because it doesn't have a source distribution or wheel for the current platform

hint: You're on macOS (`macosx_15_0_arm64`), but `perf-analyzer` (v2.59.1) only has wheels for the following platforms: `manylinux_2_38_aarch64`, `manylinux_2_38_x86_64`; consider adding your platform to `tool.uv.required-environments` to ensure uv resolves to a version with compatible wheels
> uv add 'tritonclient==2.60.0'
Resolved 7 packages in 35ms

Installed 4 packages in 22ms
 + numpy==2.0.2
 + python-rapidjson==1.21
 + tritonclient==2.60.0
 + urllib3==2.5.0

Someone on macOS arm64 can try to check if it can be reproduced?

Same error here with uv and tritonclient>=2.61.0

This is expected behavior as perf_analyzer binary is supported only for the platforms mentioned in the error you are seeing.

Thanks @ganeshku1:) That makes sense. But why does tritonclient requires perf_analyzer? How does one run tritonclient on Mac in this case?

It was added here: https://github.com/triton-inference-server/client/commit/133d96864a5478a92934fbcb26f59d8f8ec18a35 — why? The description doesn't say anything.

This extra requirement breaks installs on macos and windows, can the perf-analyzer requirement be defined as an extra requirement or removed?

[dtpryce]

this issue is also propagating to libraries that depend on tritonclient e.g. mlserver. If there was an option path for non Linux installations that would be great!

this error even shows up on Ubuntu 22.04.

error: Distribution `perf-analyzer==2.59.1 @ [redacted]` can't be installed because it doesn't have a source distribution or wheel for the current platform

hint: You're on Linux (`manylinux_2_35_x86_64`), but `perf-analyzer` (v2.59.1) only has wheels for the following platforms: `manylinux_2_38_aarch64`, `manylinux_2_38_x86_64`; consider adding your platform to `tool.uv.required-environments` to ensure uv resolves to a version with compatible wheels

it seems strange that the OS requirements need to be this strict for something as basic as an inference client

I have the same issue using docker images for python:3.12-slim-bookworm, python:3.13-slim-bookworm, python:3.13-slim. Why perf_analyzer isn't an optional dependency?

[lgonzalezgrabit]

I met the same error with uv, just use previous versions of the client

2.60.0 doesn't have this dependency, I've downgraded, although this is really not an ideal solution. I would hope @ganeshku1 has someone gate it behind an extra like tritonclient[perf-analyzer].
