Error installing wheel with "invalid version"

[albertotb]

Version: uv 0.2.29

I'm not sure if this is intended or not:

uv pip install https://huggingface.co/PlanTL-GOB-ES/es_anonimization_core_lg/resolve/main/es_anonimization_core_lg-any-py3-none-any.whl

Fails with

error: The wheel filename "es_anonimization_core_lg-any-py3-none-any.whl" has an invalid version: expected version to start with a number, but no leading ASCII digits were found

However, the equivalent pip command is able to install the wheel:

pip install https://huggingface.co/PlanTL-GOB-ES/es_anonimization_core_lg/resolve/main/es_anonimization_core_lg-any-py3-none-any.whl
Collecting es-anonimization-core-lg==any

In our current design this is intentional -- we require that wheels always have valid wheel filenames, and that isn't a valid filename (since it's omitting the version).

[charliermarsh]

We should support this, requires some refactors though.

Apologies for the intrusion. Could you please specify which version of pip you are using?

I have tested this with pip version 24.2 and encountered the following error:

pip install https://huggingface.co/PlanTL-GOB-ES/es_anonimization_core_lg/resolve/main/es_anonimization_core_lg-any-py3-none-any.whl               
ERROR: Invalid requirement: 'es-anonimization-core-lg==any': Expected end or semicolon (after name and no valid version specifier)
    es-anonimization-core-lg==any

Sure, I'm using pip 24.0, which seems to work fine. I will report to the creator of the wheel to see if they can follow the naming conventions. The confusing part here is that with pip seems to work (at least in some versions), so the wheel mantainers may not have noticed that the naming is incorrect.

[albertotb]

Looking at pip release notes maybe this is related to this issue pypa/pip#12063

It seems that starting with pip 24.1b1 the wheel I used as an example is no longer installable with pip https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/news/#b1-2024-05-06

I'm experiencing the same issue using uv pip to install a spacy model via hugging face. The url given by hugging face for the wheels file seems only (?) to provide "any" as the version number. Agreed with @albertotb that from the pip issue referenced it seems like this is probably something hugging face will need to update. I've open a new issue huggingface/huggingface_hub#2637

[albertotb]

Yes, the workaround I'm using is to stick with pip to install those HuggingFace models and pin pip<=24.0. I guess you could also host a clone of such HuggingFacel models but with the correct naming. That is not ideal if they are being updated regularly, but it's probably fine for most models.

[jtauber]

can the wheel also be downloaded and renamed?

Probably, although not an ideal solution. You would have to re-host it somewhere or pass it around, and you also miss any updates.
