🐛 Bugs / Unexpected behaviors

Versions

Python: 3.8.10
OS: Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS
Poetry: 1.6.1
pip: 23.2.1

Description

I am trying to set up a poetry environment with this library installed. I started off with a completely new, empty environment. Then I attempted to add the poetry3d package:

poetry add -vvv git+https://github.com/facebookresearch/pytorch3d.git

Instead of adding it to the poetry environment, I got the following error:

Cloning https://github.com/facebookresearch/pytorch3d.git at 'HEAD' to /home/myfolder/poetry_env/poetry_env_demo/.venv/src/pytorch3d

Alright, so pytorch3d has a dependency on torch but despite this pre-requisite, the installation for some reason doesn't install the dependency. So I went ahead and installed torch:

poetry add torch

Which went successfully. Now I retried the previous installation command, knowing that torch is certainly included in my environment by now:

poetry add -vvv git+https://github.com/facebookresearch/pytorch3d.git

But the error is exactly the same.

Edit 1

I saw this issue from earlier: #1619. But it doesn't offer a clear workaround on how to install pytorch3d with poetry. As I mentioned above, I also installed torch separately before attempting to install pytorch3d, but the installation still fails, as pytorch3d somehow doesn't see the already present torch dependency in the local venv.

Edit 2

I also came across this: #1479 . I assume this change would solve the issue, but it seems to have been never merged for some reason.

Meanwhile, the pip install works fine:

pip install git+https://github.com/facebookresearch/pytorch3d.git

pip install git+https://github.com/facebookresearch/pytorch3d.git

The problem is, I want to use poetry, not pip, and in that case, I am running into the aforementioned ModuleNotFound error

[bottler]

I think poetry might be deliberately not (yet) designed to deal with packages like PyTorch3D which have tight build time dependencies on versions of other packages. So it might be "by design" that this doesn't work easily. If that's not the case, we'd like help, e.g. pointers to documentation. If it is possible to adapt PyTorch3D nicely into poetry, it hasn't been done.

[leweex95]

Thank you for your reply @bottler .

It seems that this issue is essentially a duplicate of #1419, as torch is a build-time dependency of the library, but it is not declared in a pyproject.toml file, hence poetry has no way to include it in build time. As such, it seems to be not possible to install this package with poetry :/

@bottler I believe this is what #1479 tries to fix.
Inline with PEP518, when pip builds a package it will start by creating an isolated build environment. As this environment is properly isolated it does not contain any of the build dependencies which might be required (numpy, torch, etc). The solution proposed by PEP518 is to define such build dependencies in a pyproject.toml so that they can be installed in the isolated environment prior to building the wheel.

With regards to "being able to choose which torch version to use" this is still perfectly fine as that is a runtime dependency.

note: It's also worth noting that python packaging itself recommends the use of pyproject.toml for build specification: https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/discussions/setup-py-deprecated/#is-pyproject-toml-mandatory

https://peps.python.org/pep-0518/

[fegarza7]

Did you manage to fix this? I also tried installing pytorch3d but got an error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'torch'
I also installed torch afterwards (which I already had installed in a venv) but the error is still there. Any ideas?

I'm using this to install pytorch3d since any other method fails as well:
pip install "git+https://github.com/facebookresearch/pytorch3d.git"

[bottler]

@fegarza7 I think it's best to open a new issue with all the details. All the recommended ways to install pytorch3d involve installing torch (and perhaps checking it works) beforehand.

Agree, I just saw a way to fix it in another issue in my particular case.

@fegarza7 How did you end up fixing it?
