#5895 _ipap11helper causing problems with pip

Reopen Issue

I happened to have ipalib installed on my OpenStack development machine and I started seeing problems with pip. I think I've narrowed it down to the _ipap11helper library and I suspect it has to do with the leading underscore.

# pip list |grep ipap11
-ipap11helper (0.1)
# pip freeze cinder
Exception:

    yield Requirement(line)

Maybe it's a bug in pip, I don't know.

module '_p11helper' was moved in IPA 4.3 to ipapython, so '_p11helper' does not exist anymore.

I suspect that this is reproducible only with IPA 4.2.x

freeipa-client-4.2.3-2.fc23.x86_64

I don't know that moving the library would make much of a difference but I don't know how pip finds these things.

there is no _ipap11helper with IPA 4.3+, it is not standalone module anymore, even underscore was removed.

[root@vm-058-188 ~]# pip list | grep ipap11
[root@vm-058-188 ~]#

Ok, I'm fine with closing it then.
