virtualenv not respecting --no-site-packages for ZODB3?

*ugh* - failure to easy_install numpy
by skip＠pobox.com 16 Mar '08

16 Mar '08

I have a new-ish MacBook Pro. When I installed it I used Apple's migration assitant to transfer content from my PowerBook. That left me with lots of Mach-O PPC shared object files. I've been sort of working my way through replacing things. Today I tried reinstalling numpy using easy_install (had been 1.0.1 in Mach-O PPC format, should wind up with 1.0.4 in Mach-O Intel format). I got this rather ugly output: % easy_install numpy /Users/skip/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c7-py2.6.egg/setuptools/package_index.py:7: DeprecationWarning: the md5 module is deprecated; use hashlib instead from md5 import md5 Searching for numpy Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/numpy/ Reading http://numeric.scipy.org Reading http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1369&package_id=175103 Reading http://numpy.scipy.org Best match: numpy 1.0.4 Downloading http://downloads.sourceforge.net/numpy/numpy-1.0.4.tar.gz?modtime=119453667… Processing numpy-1.0.4.tar.gz Running numpy-1.0.4/setup.py -q bdist_egg --dist-dir /var/folders/5q/5qTPn6xq2RaWqk+1Ytw3-U+++TI/-Tmp-/easy_install-dLgdmR/numpy-1.0.4/egg-dist-tmp-X0k4SP Running from numpy source directory. non-existing path in '/private/var/folders/5q/5qTPn6xq2RaWqk+1Ytw3-U+++TI/-Tmp-/easy_install-dLgdmR/numpy-1.0.4/numpy/distutils': 'site.cfg' /var/folders/5q/5qTPn6xq2RaWqk+1Ytw3-U+++TI/-Tmp-/easy_install-dLgdmR/numpy-1.0.4/numpy/distutils/misc_util.py:1278: DeprecationWarning: os.popen4 is deprecated.

moving a development egg over to a production server not using buildout...
by michael nt milne 13 Mar '08

13 Mar '08

Hi Is there some special command that is required for packing up an egg which has been in development and is sitting in a buildout /src directory, over to a live server. This server isn't using a buildout config so it will go straight into site-packages. Does the egg need to be zipped up before it can be easy_installed? I've had a look at this page http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall#command-line-options What I am getting is a single .egg file and no folder structure for the egg within site-packages. Thanks -- michael

offline mode for Windows buildout -o or -No doesn't work...any alternatives?
by Michael NT Milne 11 Mar '08

11 Mar '08

Been told to try this post from Plone users on this list.... This is infuriating. Each time we install a new egg we have to run buildout in online mode as buildout -o or buildout -No just produces an invalid command error. buildout –c c:\Plone\'yoursitename'\buildout.cfg The above works but it re-installs new eggs etc alongside the old eggs and the site breaks as below. When re-running buildout, Zope uses the eggs with the higher numbers. Do you need to change anything to make this work? Also has anyone got Windows buildouts running in offline mode? It seems the only way to fix this is to delete the new eggs etc that have been fetched. 2008-03-10T16:45:09 ERROR Application Couldn't install Five Traceback (most recent call last): File

bdist_wininst and Vista User Account Control (UAC)
by Mark Hammond 10 Mar '08

10 Mar '08

The pywin32 extensions require (well, prefer) administrative access during installation - certain files are copied to the System32 directory and the registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE is written to. Also, if I understand correctly, if Python happened to be installed into "\Program Files", admin access would be required to create any files in that directory tree - I'm not sure what permissions the \PythonXX directory are created with, but its not unreasable to assume that some shops might choose to secure that directory similarly to "\Program Files". The simplest way to achieve this for bdist_wininst installations is to include some magic in a "manifest". I've confirmed that once this magic is added, programs created by bdist_wininst get the little "shield" icon overlay and prompt for elevation before starting the executable. A problem here is that not all installations will require admin access - eg, a user who installed Python just for themselves will not need elevation to install an extension. A solution here would be for the installer to *not* be marked as requiring elevation, then sniffing the registry to make an educated guess (eg, HKLM\Software\Python\PythonCore\2.5 existing could indicate admin access is required). If it finds elevation is required, it would spawn another copy of itself with elevation requested, and terminate. This will have a side-effect of meaning the installer never gets the "shield" overlay, meaning the user will not be expecting to be prompted - but that is something we can live with. However, there is a complication here. Any "pure python" packages are not tied to a particular Python version, so the user can choose what installed Python version to use. Hence, in the general case, we can only determine if admin is required after the UI has opened and the user has selected the Python version. Arranging for the new "elevated" child process at this point will be (a) ugly, as the UI will vanish before the child process displays its GUI and (b) would require additional command-line processing logic - ie, passing the target directory to the child process. If we could make the determination *before* the GUI opens, it would appear seamless and would not require special command-line handling (the child process just does everything) So I see a few alternatives, but none are very desirable: * Only make this "admin required" check if a specific version of Python is necessary (ie, the package contains extension modules). This would leave pure-python packages out in the cold. * Live with the ugly UI that would result in performing that check after the Python version has been selected, and add the command-line processing necessary to make this work. * Ignore the issue and try to educate people that they must explicitly use "Run as Administrator" for such packages on Vista. I'm wondering if anyone has any opinions or thoughts on how we should handle this? Cheers, Mark

Encoding of metadata?
by Andreas Jung 08 Mar '08

08 Mar '08

Hi, are there any recommendations or constraints for the encoding of package metadata - both for PyPI and the setuptools internals? Although most of us write their metadata in English, we do have author names with accented characters...it's unclear if iso-8859-15 or utf-8 is preferred in this case (or even unicode strings)...what's the recommendation for the non-ascii world?

Not really, but there is some experimental code in the setuptools trunk, IIRC. If you look at the 'tests/test_shlib' subdirectory there is some sample code for building a shared library. I don't know if it works right on OS X... and there were some hairy things involved in doing it on Linux. Patches welcome. :) (Chances are good, though, that you'll be better off using the import + API struct approach to sharing stuff. IIRC, there are still a lot of hoops to jump through to get shared libs working on OS X and Linux.)

[zc.buildout] find-links does not deal with two-level hierarchy
by Andreas Jung 07 Mar '08

07 Mar '08

Hi, we have a local fileserver with a two-level hierarchy for egg -something like: haufe.eggserver +--- haufe.eggserver-0.1.0.egg +--- haufe.recipe.svnsetup +--- .... easy_install -i http://our-server/egg haufe.recipe.svnsetup works fine with this two-level hierarchy. Using the URL within the find-links option of my buildout.cfg does not work (Error: Could not find a distribution...) for a part with recipe=haufe.recipe.svnsetup. Bug or feature? Andreas
