Conda build fails with “TypeError: create_function()” error

by

I am running conda build using a recipe that downloads the tar.gz file from PyPi.

This fails with the following error message:

TypeError: create_function() got an unexpected keyword argument 'narg'

I have simplified the recipe file and reproduced the error. The contents are as follows:

package:
  name: binda
  version: 1.0.9

source:
  url: https://pypi.io/packages/source/b/binda/binda-1.0.9.tar.gz
  sha256: 86c1eef6c48ee520f244aac2ebcc8cd62f2e0c0ec97d88b9c1a5ea8719c40e82

requirements:
  host:
    - python >=3.6
    - hatchling
    - hatch-vcs
    - pip
  run:
    - python >=3.6
    - pandas
    - numpy

I have checked the link to the package and confirmed the checksum.

I have also tried recreating the environments, testing on standard Python, Miniforge and Anaconda environments. All three fail with the same error.

The full error message with environment settings and stack trace are included below:

An unexpected error has occurred. Conda has prepared the above report.
If you suspect this error is being caused by a malfunctioning plugin,
consider using the --no-plugins option to turn off plugins.

Example: conda --no-plugins install <package>

Alternatively, you can set the CONDA_NO_PLUGINS environment variable
on the command line to run the command without plugins enabled.

Example: CONDA_NO_PLUGINS=true conda install <package>

  • Seems to complain about the index. Does flushing the index cache help? I.e., try conda clean -i. Also, it is weird to be running conda-build in anything but base. That is the only environment where conda, conda-build, mamba, boa, etc. should be installed. So, maybe try deactivating out of the binda environment.

    – 

  • As a side note, if this is production-ready (as the 1.x implies) and on PyPI, I’d simply send it along to Conda Forge. No reason to be cluttering your repository with infrastructure to build a Conda version when Conda Forge will handle all that downstream from your PyPI releases.
