Prefering what it finds makes sense, although *I* would prefer that it found the page on PyPI with the egg ;). Is the "hiding" of versions a Cheeseshop thing? Is there a good reason *not* to look for the requested version page on Cheeseshop? (I'm guessing the answer to this is "we don't look for pages, we use an RPC interface [for some definition of RPC]", but I'll ask anyway) Thanks, Nathan

ez_setup.py

by Felix Wiemann

Hi, I would like to see two things changed about ez_setup.py: The "#!python" at the top should read "#!/bin/env python". And we'd need to have a license header at the top of the file. Public domain is the most pain-free license for us (and probably everyone), but anything Python-compatible should work. Best wishes, Felix

What windows binary egg for PyPI? If you mean the one for 1.1, the problem is that easy_install isn't reading that page, because it's a "hidden" version.

It only prefers what it finds, and currently it won't find Cheeseshop files for "hidden" versions of a pacakge unless you include a -f to that page, e.g. -f http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/lxml/1.1 in this case.

easy_install prefers source?

by Nathan R. Yergler

At the PyCon sprints Jim and I were working with easy_install and working_env under Windows and noticed some odd behavior. When within an activated working environment, attempting to do something like: c:\...>easy_install lxml==1.1 attempts to retrieve the source distribution rather than the available Windows binary egg for PyPI. Is this the expected behavior? I would have expected easy_install to prefer binary eggs. Thanks, Nathan

registration errors, no feedback

by Tarek Ziadé

Hello when I register a package on PyPi using "setup.py register" There's no feedback at all in case of failure when the classifiers are wrong (let's say, a small tipo in the License name for example) On the other hand, doing the same thing from the website forms returns an accurate feedback that tells what's wrong. It could be really nice to add this feature to setuptools, in order to get the same feedback from the prompt Regards Tarek -- Tarek Ziadé | Association AfPy | www.afpy.org Blog FR | http://programmation-python.org Blog EN | http://tarekziade.wordpress.com/

Package name != filename, and: Python version information

by newsgroups＠debain.org

Hi, With the following in my setup script: ------------- from distutils.core import setup setup(name = 'Spiff WikiMarkup', [...] requires = ['Plex'], provides = ['WikiMarkup'], [...] ------------- 1. Distutils generates a tarball named "Spiff WikiMarkup-0.1.tar.gz". How can I replace the space in the filename by an underscore? 2. In Python cheese shop, there is a field that shows the Python version that is required by a listed package. I have not found this covered in the documentation: How do you add the Python version information into the setup script of a package? Also, is there a complete keyword list somewhere? This list: http://docs.python.org/dist/meta-data.html seems to contain only few of the keywords available (for example, the "provides" and "requires" keywords are not listed, even though covered in the previous chapters of the documentation). Thanks, -Samuel

easy_install: one more log message

by Ian Bicking

I realize if you add a message to the end of easy_install.process_distribution that says that the package is finished installing, you can figure out just what exactly is requiring what else. This is hugely useful to debugging just why different pieces get installed, and if there is a conflict. -- Ian Bicking | ianb(a)colorstudy.com | http://blog.ianbicking.org

--always-copy, development eggs

by Ian Bicking

So, I'm trying to achieve a couple different things with workingenv, and I'm not sure how to make it all work... I don't want one workingenv to have unintentional links to package in another environment. Sometimes easy_install will find a package somewhere else on the system, which is fine, but I want it to copy it into the workingenv. I thought the easy thing was to add "[easy_install] always_copy = True" to distutils.cfg. And this works. *But* always_copy doesn't work with develop eggs. So specifically there's a problem if I want to install both distribution A and B as editable/develop eggs, and B depends on A. I can install (via setup.py develop) A, and then install B, but B fails with something like error: Could not find suitable distribution for Requirement.parse('A==0.1') (--always-copy skips system and development eggs) Note that 'A==0.1' is something easy_install/setuptools came up with, B only requires 'A'. So, it seems having always_copy on really gets in the way of development eggs. Is there another way I can avoid sharing packages without always_copy? Or... something, I'm not sure. -- Ian Bicking | ianb(a)colorstudy.com | http://blog.ianbicking.org

Old bug still unfixed? [ python-Patches-1183712 ] package_data chops off first char of default package

by Hans Meine

Hi! Yesterday, a student came to me complaining about an old distutils bug which bit him: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/patches/2006-August/020642.html The patch is quite trivial and cannot possibly break something AFAICS, so could someone please apply it? (Hmm, now that I write this; we are still using python 2.4.4 here, so maybe it has been fixed in between?) Ciao, / / /--/ / / ANS

Setuptools installed as zip file

by Ian Bicking

I've received a few reports of setuptools getting installed (via ez_setup.py) as a zip file (maybe just on Python 2.5). Is this something new? Should I expect this possibility? (Or I can just use --always-unzip with ez_setup.py to make sure it's always installed the same way.) -- Ian Bicking | ianb(a)colorstudy.com | http://blog.ianbicking.org
