Can't get Pandas to install with OpenShift

Question

I am ssh-ing a Flask application on OpenShift and one of the Python dependencies is Pandas 0.16.1. Looking through the OpenShift documentation, I created my setup.py file as follows:

from setuptools import setup

setup(name='MyApp',
    version='0.1a',
    description='some description',
    author='me',
    author_email='[email protected]',
    url='http://myapp.com/',
    install_requires=['Flask>=0.10.1','numpy>=1.9.2','pandas>=0.16.1'],
    )

When creating the app using the requires, the process fails. The following error is produced... help!

The initial build for the application failed: Shell command
'/sbin/runuser -s /bin/sh 557ba9e9e0b8cd360b000131 -c "exec
/usr/bin/runcon 'unconfined_u:system_r:openshift_t:s0:c1,c69' /bin/sh

Answer 1

Restart Openshift Application from web console and commit the changes and deploy. it worked for me!

Answer 2

Can you do that manually ? i.e :

ssh [email protected]

And activate the environment :

source app-root/runtime/dependencies/python/virtenv/bin/activate

And then install the dependencies. First Numpy

pip install -U numpy

And then Pandas:

pip install pandas

Answer 3

I have had the same problem: Installing pandas through requirements.txt or using pip did not work.

Openshift stops and kills the process when trying to compile algos.c. Here is the manual install workaround that did the trick for me (python3.3 cartridge). It is the result of an somewhat tedious try-and-error process, and I cannot really explain why it works. But you might want to give it a try.

1. Connect to openshift: rhc ssh <appname>.

2. Download latest pandas source into the /tmp directory to install manually

   cd /tmp
   mkdir pandas
   cd pandas
   wget https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/p/pandas/pandas-0.16.2.zip#md5=860a6c7e5e1a24bb0aa549b115830252
   unzip pandas-0.16.2.zip
   cd pandas-0.16.2
   

3. Edit the setup.py file using your favourite (available) editor, e.g. emacs and search for "algos". The second time it appears comment out the algos package in the variable ext_data:

   ...
       index={'pyxfile': 'index',
              'sources': ['pandas/src/datetime/np_datetime.c',
                          'pandas/src/datetime/np_datetime_strings.c']},
   #    algos={'pyxfile': 'algos',                                                                                                     
   #           'depends': [srcpath('generated', suffix='.pyx'),                                                                        
   #                       srcpath('join', suffix='.pyx')]},                                                                                               
       parser={'pyxfile': 'parser',
               'depends': ['pandas/src/parser/tokenizer.h',
                           'pandas/src/parser/io.h',
                           'pandas/src/numpy_helper.h'],
    ...
   

4. Run the first part of the installation procedure:

   ./setup.py install
   

5. Now, let us compile the missing algos piece by hand. To do so, remove the comments you made in step 2, and comment out all other entries (except the algos entry) in ext_data.

6. Run setup in "dry-run" mode to see the two gcccommands you need to compile algos

   ./setup.py -n build
   

7. Copy the first gcc command to run it from shell. When I tried this, this command made openshift shut down the connection. So, I adjusted it by removing doublicate options and remove the -O2 flag (i.e., the optimization). This worked for me:

   gcc -pthread -DDYNAMIC_ANNOTATIONS_ENABLED=1 -DNDEBUG -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m64 -mtune=generic -D_GNU_SOURCE -fPIC -fwrapv -I/opt/rh/python33/root/usr/include -Ipandas/src/klib -Ipandas/src -I/opt/rh/python33/root/usr/lib64/python3.3/site-packages/numpy/core/include -I$OPENSHIFT_HOMEDIR/python/virtenv/venv/include -I/opt/rh/python33/root/usr/include/python3.3m -c pandas/algos.c -o build/temp.linux-x86_64-3.3/pandas/algos.o
   

8. The second command can be run unchanged. For me it was:

   gcc -pthread -shared -L/opt/rh/python33/root/usr/lib64 -L/usr/lib6464 build/temp.linux-x86_64-3.3/pandas/algos.o -L/opt/rh/python33/root/usr/lib64 -lpython3.3m -o build/lib.linux-x86_64-3.3/pandas/algos.cpython-33m.so
   

9. Now, the hand-made files need to be installed:

   ./setup.py install
   

10. Quick check if it worked for you. First cd to your home directory, then try python:

    cd
    python
    Python 3.3.2 (default, Mar 20 2014, 20:25:51) 
    [GCC 4.4.6 20120305 (Red Hat 4.4.6-4)] on linux
    Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
    >>> import pandas
    

11. Delete the /tmp/pandas directory.

    rm -rf /tmp/pandas
    

Hope this works for you, too!
