bugfix for GUI.exe launcher
by Robin Dunn Jan. 3, 2008

Jan. 3, 2008

I see in the archives that this has been reported before, and I can verify that the attached patch does fix the problem for me. Basically what is happening is that the launcher is trying to execute python with the "#!" still in the name. I verified this by rebuilding gui.exe without -mwindows arg so it would still be a console app so I would see the failure message. It printed this: "Could not exec #!c:\TOOLS\python25\pythonw.exe" -- Robin Dunn Software Craftsman http://wxPython.org Java give you jitters? Relax with wxPython!

Said configuration machinery should be using pkg_resources APIs to access files, rather than using the filesystem directly, or 2. zope.filerepresentation's setup.py should include zip_safe=False Either one should fix the problem, but I suspect that #1 is what Zope really should do, in order to be fully egg-compatible.

easy_install of django sdist tarball omits data files
by Graham Carlyle Dec. 28, 2007

Dec. 28, 2007

Hi I've been trying to install a sdist tarball of a django svn snapshot using easy_install but some of the packages data files (the admin contrib app templates) aren't being installed. I've looked at the easy_install web page and can't see anything that may help me install these data files. I'm doing this as part of a deployment script that uses easy_install to install a web apps dependencies into a particular directory. Is this a misuse of easy install? django's setup.py doesn't use setuptools and so easy_install seems to be creating an sdist_egg on the fly. I'm working round this by just scripting untarring, & "setup.py install" etc. directly which is ok but it would be simpler if i could just call easy_install for all my apps dependencies. thanks, Graham

I would love to replace the default README.txt used for the PyPI page with something written more like a manual / man page / quickstart. It could be based on what is already written, but just cleaned up. I think the 'zopeproject' page is a good example. I'd like to do this for some of the other core recipes (zc.recipe.filestorage, for example). It's been a while since I've given anything significant (or even insignificant) back to the community besides stressed out ranting and bitching. I think this would be a good place to start. http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/zopeproject -- Jeff Shell

I think that some of the problem stems from us using a lot of core Zope 3 bits, and we have to take on some of the core ZCML bootstrapping ourselves (zope.app.zcmlfiles doesn't cover everything that we use). It was as I was going through this bit by bit that I stumbled into the zope.filerepresentation issue. Which I now realize is a non-issue! I just assumed it had a configure.zcml like everything else. Since it was locked away in a zipped egg and I was pressured for time, I never unpacked it to check the contents. I think the issue stemmed from not including it as a dependency, so an import failed. When I added the dependency, I then blindly added an <include package="zope.filerepresentation"/> to my app's site.zcml out of habit. OK. I do have a new instance up now. It's a bit messily put together, but I finally see that it can be done with our current software. I can move forward! > A while ago, I pointed you at some working buildouts that used Zope 3 > as eggs. Why not use those as starting points? I did, and they helped. But just to get our core system up and running required some different setups and dependencies that were a little harder to figure out. And I ran into that zope.filerepresentation non-issue right when I ran out of time. Thanks, Jeff Shell

enhancing .pypirc file for multiple servers handling
by Tarek Ziadé Dec. 28, 2007

Dec. 28, 2007

Hello, I am implementing a PyPI-like server, to allow people using it as a cheeseshop alternative. The .pypirc file that is used together with the register command is working just for one server and will not allow having several set of login/password. This can be a problem if you work with several servers. Furthermore, this command is using a hardcoded ‘pypi’ realm if you look at distutils/commands/register.py: auth.add_password('pypi', host, username, password) I think it could be enhanced in order to hold several login/password for each server, using the host url and the realm (the realm can be queried automatically too). Otherwise all servers have to fake a ‘pypi’ realm on 401 errors. I can work on a more formal document (some kind of PEP?) to explain the changes needed in the current implementation. I am also willing to spend the time needed to code it (I will code it anyway in a custom package but I think this belongs to distutils because it is intended, as far as i understand it, to work with any server) Regards Tarek -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/enhancing-.pypirc-file-for-multiple-servers-handling-… Sent from the Python - distutils-sig mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Setuptools plans?
by Jeff Shell Dec. 28, 2007

Dec. 28, 2007

First: why 0.6c7? Can't we just have a 0.6.0 release? what's holding that back? That version number just seems doubly immature (sub-1.0 and "release candidate") and I often wonder what little push is needed to have a normal 0.6 release. Is there a roadmap or general plans for setuptools for the coming year? I have so many frustrations with the tool, but it's also something that I think I need. So I'd like to get involved if there's any active development or momentum. Right now, though, it doesn't seem like there is any of either. Same thing goes for buildout: any roadmap or plans? What needs to be done to knock that 'beta' off the end and make a 1.0 release? -- Jeff Shell

Forcing setuptools options (always unzip, no dependencies) in buildout?
by Jeff Shell Dec. 28, 2007

Dec. 28, 2007

I still can't get a Egg based Zope app/site up and running. The last headache that I ran into before I had to focus on other work was a core Zope egg (zope.filerepresentation, which we use quite heavily) being a Zipfile based egg. In this mode, Zope's configuration machinery can't get config files out of zope.filerepresentation, and all is lost. The only references to 'always unzip' that I could find in zc.buildout are in the API section. I see no configuration directive for this. Is there a way to force this? I'm also thinking of going no-dependencies for a while since I have internal and external eggs that depend on core Zope 3 library eggs. Which I happen to have in a perfectly good (relatively) Zope 3 installation. But since setuptools doesn't know that said installation provides a reasonable 'zope.filerepresentation', 'zope.component', 'zope.app.frobnitz', etc, I feel like I can't use Eggs without going 100% over to a fully egg based setup. Which, as mentioned above, I haven't been able to get working. I'd be willing to give up automatic dependency tracking for a while in order to come up with an interim solution that I could get up and running. But again - I can't find a way to specify "no dependencies" for buildout (either zc.buildout or zc.recipe.egg). Am I missing something? I trying hard to get my little company to move to using released software packages (both internal and external) as our current way of doing things is getting untenable and difficult to maintain. -- Jeff Shell

bdist_wininst build and ez_setup.py
by Matias Surdi Dec. 26, 2007

Dec. 26, 2007

Hi, Im building a binary distribution on linux for my project with: # python setup.py bdist_wininst The .exe installer is generated correctly, and runs perfect on the windows xp host, but the problem is that, as this host doesn't have already setuptools installed, it gives an error when running one of the scripts complaining about missing dependencies (pkg_resources, for example). I wonder if, for bdist_wininst builds is there a way to do an auto-installation of setuptools. I've already put: from ez_setup import use_setuptools use_setuptools() in setup.py, but thats seems to work just for installing with #python setup.py install Thanks a lot for your help.
