[Python] AttributeError: 'Table' object has no attribute 'GetVectorAsNumpy'

[shopox]

This commit disables deployment of the package to PyPi server. It has led to some features missing, e.g.:

    def NumbersAsNumpy(self):
        o = flatbuffers.number_types.UOffsetTFlags.py_type(self._tab.Offset(4))
        if o != 0:
>           return self._tab.GetVectorAsNumpy(flatbuffers.number_types.Uint64Flags, o)
E           AttributeError: 'Table' object has no attribute 'GetVectorAsNumpy'

Thus, now it's impossible to depend on flatbuffers using pip, because it wasn't uploaded for a while.
In my case a dirty workaround could be:

pip install -r requirements.txt
rm -rf fbrepo && git clone https://github.com/google/flatbuffers.git fbrepo && cp -rf fbrepo/python/flatbuffers ./ && rm -rf fbrepo

Is it planned to turn the deployment to PyPi back on again?

I'm personally not familiar with the Python eco-system. The script in that commit kept breaking our CI though, so had to be disabled.. if someone knows how to make it more robust, it can be re-enabled.

More discussion here: #4390

I believe the only problem was making sure those who have the necessary pypi credentials are able to put them into the travis configuration (encrypted of course). I'm not familiar with that process, though, so can't add much.

EDIT: This is the better link for tracking disucssion: #4516

For posterity: installing flatbuffers==1.9 fixed this particular error for me. It seems that the naming convention in PyPI changed from YYYYmmdd to semver, pushing 1.9 behind all the 2015xxxx.

[aardappel]

Ah yes, that was discussed at length here: #4507 and apparently there is no easy way to fix that. I think that after 1.9 has been out for a while, we should delete the old YYYYmmdd versions, as that will be the only long term fix.
