setuptools, removing installed eggs
by Tarek Ziadé 19 Feb '08

19 Feb '08

Hello, I am trying to write a script that removes all traces of an egg. I am not talking about a clever thing that follows dependencies, but I have faced issues where my fellow developers had a remaining "develop" eggs that had to be removed. So an "easy_remove" script that cleanly erase all occurences of a given egg would be good ihmo. In my understanding, the script should: - scan all entries in pkg_resources.working_set.entries, to get all instances of the given egg (folder, archive and link) - call easy_install -m package - remove all entries founded before. Is that right ?

MatPlotLib + Py2exe, backend problems ...
by Stef Mientki 18 Feb '08

18 Feb '08

hello, I'm trying to create a distro with py2exe, including MatPlotLib. After finally resolving the matplotlib datapath problem, I bumped into a new problem concerning backends. I'm using MatPlotLib 0.91.2 I only need the wx-Backend. In Py2exe I tried to exclude as many backends as possible, but the excludes seems to have no effect. 'excludes' : [ '_gtkagg', '_tkagg', '_agg2', '_cairo', '_cocoaagg', '_fltkagg', '_gtk', '_gtkcairo', 'backend_qt', 'backend_qt4', 'backend_qt4agg', 'backend_qtagg', 'backend_cairo', 'backend_cocoaagg', 'Tkconstants', 'Tkinter', 'tcl', "_imagingtk", "PIL._imagingtk", "ImageTk", "PIL.ImageTk", "FixTk" ], The creating of the distro seems to work, but the distro won't run, because of some problems with tk-backends, (which I don't need or even want). The problem might be caused by a crashed installation of tk in the past. And might also be amplified by the fact that I use from pylab import * Now I guess I can effectively remove the unnecessary backends, by removing the following lines from \backends\__init__.py interactive_bk = ['GTK', 'GTKAgg', 'GTKCairo', 'FltkAgg', 'QtAgg', 'Qt4Agg', 'TkAgg', 'WX', 'WXAgg', 'CocoaAgg'] non_interactive_bk = ['Agg2', 'Agg', 'Cairo', 'EMF', 'GDK', 'Pdf', 'PS', 'SVG', 'Template'] I don't know if this solves the problem (haven't tried it yet), but I certainly thinks this is not the proper way to go. Any solution / suggestion would be very welcome (while MatPlotLib is quit essential in my distro) thanks, Stef Mientki

Including directories in .eggs?
by David Wolever 16 Feb '08

16 Feb '08

Hey, I'm wondering how I would go about including an entire directory in the .egg setup.py creates. We are using Dojo, and it automatically builds a directory containing the "stuff" it needs... But just including that directory in package_data doesn't work (as it expects to copy a file, not a directory). Including a glob such as 'js/**/ **' also fails, because directories are listed as part of the '**/ **', and it can't copy those. Any ideas? Thanks, David

Bug in setuptools/command/sdist.py: global name 'log' is not defined
by David Wolever 15 Feb '08

15 Feb '08

When I use ``py setup.py develop``, I get this error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 79, in ? entry_points = { File "/usr/lib/python2.4/distutils/core.py", line 149, in setup dist.run_commands() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/distutils/dist.py", line 946, in run_commands self.run_command(cmd) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/distutils/dist.py", line 966, in run_command cmd_obj.run() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c7-py2.4.egg/ setuptools/command/develop.py", line 27, in run self.install_for_development() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c7-py2.4.egg/ setuptools/command/develop.py", line 85, in install_for_development self.run_command('egg_info') File "/usr/lib/python2.4/distutils/cmd.py", line 333, in run_command self.distribution.run_command(command) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/distutils/dist.py", line 966, in run_command cmd_obj.run() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c7-py2.4.egg/ setuptools/command/egg_info.py", line 171, in run self.find_sources() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c7-py2.4.egg/ setuptools/command/egg_info.py", line 252, in find_sources mm.run() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c7-py2.4.egg/ setuptools/command/egg_info.py", line 306, in run self.add_defaults() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c7-py2.4.egg/ setuptools/command/egg_info.py", line 333, in add_defaults rcfiles = list(walk_revctrl()) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c7-py2.4.egg/ setuptools/command/sdist.py", line 45, in walk_revctrl for item in ep.load()(dirname): File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c7-py2.4.egg/ setuptools/command/sdist.py", line 52, in _default_revctrl for path in finder(dirname,path): File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c7-py2.4.egg/ setuptools/command/sdist.py", line 98, in entries_finder log.warn("unrecognized .svn/entries format in %s", dirname) NameError: global name 'log' is not defined It looks like the version of my .svn/entries file is newer (head - n1 .svn/entries: 9). I fixed this by adding "from distutils import log" at the stop of setuptools/command/sdist.py. The version, as suggested by the stack trace, is 0.6c7. David

alternatives to zc.buildout?
by Chris Withers 13 Feb '08

13 Feb '08

Hi All, What are the alternatives to zc.buildout? I'm wondering before I plough into zc.buildout because I'm guessing other big projects have run into the problem of pinning certain versions of eggs, building "instance homes" for projects, using a mixture of "public" eggs and those that are private and for a specific project, etc and otherwise working round limitations in setuptools... cheers, Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Zope & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk

Empty directories in eggs
by Michael Jones 13 Feb '08

13 Feb '08

Hi, There was a post a while back about this (I've included it below) but I can't find any follow up. Is this possible? I'd like to include a folder structure in an egg that can then be copied out to make a template for people to start using. I can script it but the structure includes files and it would be so much easier to maintain them in there original form instead of doing the folder creation and copying the files into the right locations. I've had no luck finding the answers else where. Any help would be much appreciated, Cheers, Mike Orginal post ------------------------------ Hi, I tried to build an egg from this tag, using bdist_egg and sdist: http://svn.plone.org/svn/collective/ZopeSkel/tags/0.5/ However, the packaged egg lost several directories, such as: http://svn.plone.org/svn/collective/ZopeSkel/tags/0.5/zopeskel/templates/pl… These are empty, but under version control. To get them into the egg (I need it because it's part of a Paste Script template which expects the empty directories to be there), I had to add some mostly-empty (if slightly useful) README.txt files (on the 0.6 tag). Bug or feature? ;-) Martin

buildout: bin/test --coverage
by Thomas Lotze 12 Feb '08

12 Feb '08

I've noticed a bug which is most probably the fault of zc.recipe.testrunner, and as I'm not sure where to report bugs against this buildout recipe, I'll drop a note here. The problem occurs when checking test coverage using the test runner's --coverage option. I've run bin/test --coverage on a suite of doc tests, and it gave me some 70% of coverage for a particular code file. After adding a test for one of the uncovered pieces of code, I got less than 70% coverage for the same file, everything else being equal. I found that now, one method was reported as uncovered that definitely executed in the test run (as evidenced by putting in a pdb call, for example). I could even reproduce the behaviour. Maybe it helps to know that when I asked about it on #zope3-dev, agroszer noted that the same happened to him, and usually in functional tests. -- Thomas

Run a generated executable, without the DOS-box ?
by Stef Mientki 12 Feb '08

12 Feb '08

hello, I just succeeded in running py2exe for the first time with good effort, with a relative simple program (complex programs gives too many errors). With Inno I build a windows package, and that was also ok. Now when I run the generated exe-function, (which is a GUI application), I get such a ugly black Command-Box (DOS-box). Is there anyway to prevent that Command Box ? thanks, Stef Mientki

patch for zc.recipe.cmmi
by Enrique Perez 11 Feb '08

11 Feb '08

Hi, Sorry if this is not the correct list for this issue. We have patched the zc.recipe.cmmi so that it (optionally) leaves the sources in place, so that other packages can build against it. It just unpacks the archive into the parts dir instead of to a tempfile (if a dev option is set in the buildout), and then builds it in place. I attach the patch. Otherwise we probably would upload it as yaco.recipe.cmmi-devel, would this be correct? -- Enrique Pérez Arnaud Yaco Sistemas S.L.

setuptools 0.6c7 and zc.buildout: find-links egg fragment issue
by Tarek Ziadé 08 Feb '08

08 Feb '08

Hello, If I create a buildout that uses subversion links to get some eggs, with a download cache, like this (I can provide a test case): [buildout] find-links = http://svn.example.com/my.package/trunk#egg=my.package http://svn.example.com/my.package2/trunk#egg=my.package2 egg = my.package my.package2 download-cache = /Users/tziade/.buildout/downloads/ It will fail because setuptools will try to extract the egg name from the url, using this code in package_index._download_url: name = filter(None,urlparse.urlparse(url)[2].split('/')) The name will then be "trunk" and the method will fail to work properly on the next download (my.package2) because the "trunk" folder will already be there: IOError: [Errno 21] Is a directory: '/Users/tziade/.buildout/downloads/trunk' That's because the function should extract the egg name from the egg fragment. If I add this code there: if '#egg=' in url: name = url.split('#=egg')[-1].strip() else: ... existing code to get the name.. It will work fine, because it will use unique egg names for folders. I would like to suggest changing the code this way. ++ Tarek -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/setuptools-0.6c7-and-zc.buildout%3A-find-links-egg-fr… Sent from the Python - distutils-sig mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
