setup.py no longer works with source from PyPI

[xylar]

Modifications made in 2024-07-01 to python/setup.py are no longer compatible with the source code uploaded to PyPI (https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/b9/7c/6a44a14375496d0931ce349b580686ed3ed15bf0c62d77ae1a3a57fab110/google_re2-1.1.20240701.tar.gz)

This results in:

  Running command python setup.py egg_info
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<string>", line 2, in <module>
    File "<pip-setuptools-caller>", line 34, in <module>
    File "/home/conda/feedstock_root/build_artifacts/google-re2_1719767281588/work/setup.py", line 111, in <module>
      os.makedirs(PACKAGE)
    File "/home/conda/feedstock_root/build_artifacts/google-re2_1719767281588/_h_env_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_/lib/python3.10/os.py", line 225, in makedirs
      mkdir(name, mode)
  FileExistsError: [Errno 17] File exists: 're2'
  error: subprocess-exited-with-error

because the processing that setup.py is trying to do has already been done for the source code on PyPI. Presumably, a process is needed to detect this and skip these modifications if they have already been made.

See the conda-forge build for more details:

Yikes! Thanks for the report!

[junyer]

I have a fix out for review. I should be able to cut release 2024-07-02 tomorrow night.

@junyer, thanks so much for responding so quickly!

[junyer]

You're welcome. :)

[junyer]

Keeping this issue open until the release is cut...

[junyer]

Okay, release 2024-07-02 has been cut and, more to the point, published to PyPI. :)

Wonderful, thank you, @junyer!
