Future winGRASS needs python-ply package

[wenzeslaus]

WinGRASS installer (and OSGeo4W) will need python-ply package as specified in the source:grass/trunk/REQUIREMENTS.html​:

Python PLY Library (Python Lex-Yacc) ("python-ply", needed for the temporal algebra in tgis) ​http://www.dabeaz.com/ply

Currently, temporal algebra does not work, see for example this tests result:

• ​http://fatra.cnr.ncsu.edu/grassgistests/mswindows/reports_for_date-2015-02-18-21-00/report_for_nc_spm_08_grass7_nc/lib/python/temporal/unittests_temporal_algebra/index.html

The workaround would be to install python-ply manually but that's a little bit challenging since winGRASS/OSGeo4W is using its own Python.

This is for 7.1 because temporal algebra is only there. So it might be enough to solve it right before 7.1 is released. The python-ply requirement is actually listed also for 7.0 but I think its not true:

First of all python-ply must be introduced to OSGeo4W framework. Please report this issue on their tracker.

Done. This ticket now depends on OSGeo4W ticket number 461:

• ​http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/ticket/461

Any idea about this dependency in 7.0?

We just got hit by this problem at GeoSTAT 2018 teaching - any solution?

In ​https://download.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/x86_64/release/grass/grass/setup.hint the package "python-pip" should be added.

Ideally also "python install PLY" should be executed as compile time of WinGRASS / be an OSGeo4W dependency, to avoid that https://grass.osgeo.org/grass74/manuals/t.rast.algebra.html is delivered broken to Windows users.

pip added as dependency in winGRASS by r73171, r73172

ply is now in OSGeo4W thanks to jef, see

for closing this ticket, setup.hints has to be updated too.

Tested daily build at ​https://wingrass.fsv.cvut.cz/grass74/x86_64/. Seems to be OK.
