Windows .whl package contains macOS binaries (darwin.so) instead of Windows files

[mrriicki]

Environment

• OS: Windows 11 Pro (64-bit)
• Python: 3.11.9
• pip: 24.0
• pyorbbecsdk version: 1.3.2

Problem

The Windows wheel package pyorbbecsdk-1.3.2-cp311-cp311-win_amd64.whl contains macOS binaries instead of Windows binaries.

Steps to reproduce

1. Download the Windows wheel explicitly:

pip download pyorbbecsdk --only-binary=:all: --platform win_amd64 --python-version 3.11

2. Install it:

pip install pyorbbecsdk-1.3.2-cp311-cp311-win_amd64.whl

3. Check installed files:

dir "C:\Program Files\Python311\Lib\site-packages" | findstr pyorbbec

Result

No files are found in site-packages, despite pip saying "Successfully installed".

When extracting the .whl file manually (renamed to .zip), it contains:

libOrbbecSDK.1.10.5.dylib <- macOS
libOrbbecSDK.1.10.dylib <- macOS
libOrbbecSDK.dylib <- macOS
pyorbbecsdk.cpython-311-darwin.so <- macOS

Expected

Should contain Windows binaries like:
OrbbecSDK.dll
pyorbbecsdk.cp311-win_amd64.pyd

Impact

pyorbbecsdk cannot be installed on Windows at all. The package is completely broken for Windows users.

Additional info

• Downloaded directly from PyPI
• Tested with explicit platform specification
• Manual .whl extraction confirms wrong platform binaries
• The .whl filename says "win_amd64" but contents are "darwin" (macOS)

This appears to be a packaging error where the macOS build was accidentally uploaded as the Windows version.

Request

Please re-build and re-upload the correct Windows wheel for Python 3.11.

Hi, @mrriicki
Thanks for the report and for the detailed analysis.

This issue is not caused by a recent Windows build failure. The root cause is that the pyorbbecsdk package is deprecated and no longer maintained. That repository is incomplete, and the wheels published there are incorrect. As you observed, the Windows-named wheel mistakenly contains macOS (darwin) binaries.

The package name pyorbbecsdk is obsolete and should not be used.

The actively maintained and supported package has been renamed to:

https://pypi.org/project/pyorbbecsdk2/

Key points:

pyorbbecsdk (old name) is deprecated and unmaintained

pyorbbecsdk2 (new name) is the current, supported package

Correct Windows wheels are published under pyorbbecsdk2

Please uninstall the old package and install the new one instead:
pip uninstall pyorbbecsdk pip install pyorbbecsdk2
Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
