Missing files after uv pip install

[rnarma321]

Command: uv pip install kivymd==1.1.1
This package should have .kv files inside of it, but when i use uv pip install vs pip install they are missing.
There are no issues popped up during the install, even in verbose mode

The tar.gz is pulls from has these files, I checked manually, Im not exactly sure what is causing this, but I tried across two version 0.2.27 and 0.2.0, along with two different OSs with mac and debian 12 bookworm and got the same results with every combination.

Where are those files supposed to be exactly?

an example can be found under .venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/kivymd/uix/button/button.kv. This file will exist under pip but never showed up with uv pip

For reference, this is included in the package_data: https://github.com/kivymd/KivyMD/blob/b5bc79fb71312868be86580b7b32f676926ceb80/setup.py#L102

So actually that is interesting, it doesn't have the .pot files or the .po files. But it seems to have the .ttf files and the .pngs. Maybe something about the pathing it generates from the "glob_paths" function it calls breaks with uv but not with pip

[charliermarsh]

Do you see any more consistency when you run pip install --use-pep517, and compare that to uv?

[rnarma321]

Nope, the pip install using pep517 flag still gives the .kv files, unlike uv which is missing it

Ok, I figured this out. Their setup.py assumes that there is no directory named kivymd in the path apart from the one at the top-level. But in our cache, we nest the build under a directory called kivymd

E.g., here's one path in the cache: Users/crmarsh/workspace/uv/foo/built-wheels-v3/pypi/kivymd/1.1.1/_kyEDLdSRqebDVYQM_lQA/kivymd-1.1.1.tar.gz/kivymd/uix/textfield/textfield.kv

So it's truncating at the first kivymd.

I consider this a bug in the package itself, it's effectively not relocatable. I think they need to change out_files.append(filepath.split(f"kivymd{os.sep}")[1]) to out_files.append(filepath.split(f"kivymd{os.sep}")[-1]) in the setup.py.
