Pipenv: .DS_Store in pyenv root cause pipenv "ValueError: Not a valid python version: <LegacyVersion('.DS_Store')>"

Created on 10 Nov 2018 · 25Comments · Source: pypa/pipenv

Issue description

When trying to run pipenv sync, got ValueError: Not a valid python version: <LegacyVersion('.DS_Store')> error. Deleting ~/.pyenv/versions/.DS_Store helps.

Expected result

pipenv should ignore .DS_Store file.

Actual result

Traceback (most recent call last):

Steps to replicate

(This happens on Mac, since .DS_Store is a macOS auto-generated file) Put a .DS_Store under pyenv's versions folder

Yeah, sorry to bug about this but it's been a really annoying couple of hours for me.

For all who look into this problem on their own:

look for .DS_Store up to your home folder (IIRC pyenv will look in the folder hierarchy for a python version file
if you installed via Homebrew (on a Mac) have a look at your HOMEBREW_PREFIX (i.e. /usr/local) for a .DS_Store and get rid of it. Here's how to search for it on a terminal :find /usr/local/var/pyenv/versions -name ".DS_Store"

Can you try update-vendor branch and see if the issue exists?

frostming on 13 Nov 2018

This should be handles now

techalchemy on 13 Nov 2018

Yes seems it's fixed now. I reinstalled python via pyenv due to other reason and now I cannot reproduce the problem.

fr0der1c on 13 Nov 2018

okay, sorry for the trouble!

techalchemy on 13 Nov 2018

I'm not sure what's happening but the problem happened again on my computer. Do I have to use update-vendor branch or just using pip to install is fine?

fr0der1c on 15 Nov 2018

I can produce pretty much the same error on an Ubuntu Linux machine. Obviously no .DS_Store file present.

@timburgess have you found a solution, I have tried installing update-vendor branch and it doesn't solve it. What linux distro/version do you use?

Mortuie on 16 Nov 2018

I’m running Ubuntu 18.10 No, I haven’t found any resolution - this is my first exposure to pipenv.

timburgess on 16 Nov 2018

@timburgess same for me Ubuntu 18.10! Keep me posted, if you do find anything!

Try installing the latest version and if you have a problem similar to this one please file a separate issue so we can triage and get a fix into tomorrow’s bugfix release

techalchemy on 19 Nov 2018

😂The latest version is completely broken(#3224, even setting pyenv global version won't help) and I have to downgrade to 2018.10.13 again.

fr0der1c on 19 Nov 2018

Thank you for that, @fr0der1c! I was able to continue using pipenv for now by installing it with python3 -m pip install pipenv==2018.10.13 --user.

We have a fix merged for this already and should be releasing today

Today I saw the original error message from pipenv==2018.10.13, and the related error below from 2018.11.26.

Deleting ~/.pyenv/versions/.DS_Store still helps, fortunately!

I think this "closed" issue should be revisited. While using pipenv, version 2018.11.26, and upon executing the pipenv install command, I too observed the following:
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'find_all_python_versions'

I tried executing pipenv install --dev lettuce (after reading the pipenv docs regarding the Pipfile)
and the result was:

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'find_all_python_versions'
...
raise InvalidPythonVersion("%s is not a python version" % version_str)
pipenv.vendor.pythonfinder.exceptions.InvalidPythonVersion: .DS_Store is not a python version

I removed the ~/.pyenv/versions/.DS_Store as indicated above as a possible solution.
I then re-executed pipenv install --dev lettuce and happily observed:

To activate this project's virtualenv, run pipenv shell.
Alternatively, run a command inside the virtualenv with pipenv run.

Perhaps pipenv should explicitedly ignore the .DS_Store file on a Mac(?).
Cheers!

Yeah, sorry to bug about this but it's been a really annoying couple of hours for me.

For all who look into this problem on their own:

look for .DS_Store up to your home folder (IIRC pyenv will look in the folder hierarchy for a python version file
if you installed via Homebrew (on a Mac) have a look at your HOMEBREW_PREFIX (i.e. /usr/local) for a .DS_Store and get rid of it. Here's how to search for it on a terminal :find /usr/local/var/pyenv/versions -name ".DS_Store"

Tried every which way I could to install pipenv, brew, pip etc. with no luck. I could install it with brew, latest version only of course, pipenv still fails. If I install it using pip install it would in essence perform a python -m pip install. Even that failed with the .DS_Store error because it installed the latest version. It was only when I specifically installed version 2018.10.13 did it finally work. If I did a brew search for the 2018.10.13 version and used the url it failed the install on a tag error. Spent many hours sorting this out.

Just remove ~/.pyenv/versions/.DS_Store, then run pipenv install again. Everything goes fine.

This issue is fixed on the master branch of pipenv but can be resolved by deleting the folder mentioned by @waysup in the meantime

Just for the record, this issue still exists. https://github.com/pypa/pipenv/issues/3208#issuecomment-471241648 helps but is cumbersome.

rm ~/.pyenv/versions/.DS_Store works for me.

rm ~/.pyenv/versions/.DS_Store works for me.

I had one in two places... I think a better version is:

find ~/.pyenv -name ".DS_Store" -delete

I just installed the latest today and it's definitely still there.

I have just released a pre-release of the latest version of pipenv, this should address the issue mentioned here. You can test it by running pip install --upgrade --pre pipenv and trying pipenv out. Please file new issues for any problems that arise
