Django-oscar: ImportError: No module named 'phonenumbers'

[Andruten]

Hi!

I'm trying to start a project from the beginning with 1.6rc1 version with python 3.5.0

virtualenv venv 
source venv/bin/activate
pip install django-oscar==1.6rc1
django-admin.py startproject mycommerce .

...
Edit settings with https://django-oscar.readthedocs.io/en/latest/internals/getting_started.html

Everything is the same for django 2.0 except for the urls:

from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include
from oscar.app import application

urlpatterns = [
    path('i18n/', include('django.conf.urls.i18n')),

    # The Django admin is not officially supported; expect breakage.
    # Nonetheless, it's often useful for debugging.
    path('admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),

    path('', include(application.urls)),
]

But when i execute python manage.py showmigrations i get the error ImportError: No module named 'phonenumbers'.

This is the complete traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Thanks in advance :).

Try pip install phonenumbers.
If it doesn't work please send your pip freeze.

@Andruten Thanks for reporting the issue.

Whilst pip install phonenumbers will fix the immediate symptom, there is a problem and we're seeing it on one of our projects as well.

This is because we rely on django-phonenumber-field to pull in the phonenumbers dependency, but it does so dynamically, which runs into problems because of how pip caches things.

It works if you do pip install --no-cache-dir, thereby bypassing the cache.

This ideally needs to be fixed in django-phonenumber-field - the less ideal solution would be to make phonenumbers a direct dependency of Oscar.

In the mean time, you need to other clear your pip cache before installing, or just install phonenumbers manually.

I've put a PR in, stefanfoulis/django-phonenumber-field#211. If it doesn't see much movement we will make phonenumbers a direct dependency of Oscar.

Thank you @guijsilva @craigloftus and @solarissmoke :)

See this comment from the maintainer of django-phonenumber-field. I think we just need to add phonenumbers as a dependency of Oscar.
