Content of the .installed.cfg Buildout file
by Jonathan Ballet 03 Nov '09

03 Nov '09

Hi, I know we are not supposed to have a look at the content of the .installed.cfg file and that buildout managed this by itself, but I took a look at it anyway. I found something, which looks strange at the first glance, and I wondered if it can any problem (or if I should _really_ let buildout handle this...). At the end of the file, there are a bunch of lines like this:: [buildout] installed_develop_eggs = [buildout] parts = database i18n test doc ... (actually, more than thirty). Those which have "parts" have different those parts in different order each one; there are some with "installed_develop_eggs" with a value and some with no value, despite there isn't any more developed component in the develop option of our configuration file. So, I wonder: is it normal or not? Actually, I ask this question, since we had a strange behavior this morning: there were some components which where still used as developed components, despite the fact that they have been removed from the buildout configuration file some hours ago (and some buildout execution latter) (there were still links lying in the develop-eggs/ directory), and I was a bit astonished to find that there were still values in .installed.cfg which referred to those developed paths... Cheers, Jonathan

zc.buildout bootstrap errors
by Tres Seaver 02 Nov '09

02 Nov '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Why would a "bootstrap" fail due to missing / less-than-required version of setuptools in the host python? The bootstrap should be self-contained enough to make things work no matter what, since the point is too build an environment which doesn't rely on anything beyond a "bare" Python install. $ svn co $ZSVN/Acquisition/trunk Aq-trunk ... $ cd Aq-trun $ /path/to/python2.6 bootstrap/bootstrap.py The required version of setuptools (>=0.6c11) is not available, and can't be installed while this script is running. Please install a more recent version first, using 'easy_install -U setuptools'.

option to force build from source
by Neal Becker 02 Nov '09

02 Nov '09

I just did easy_install blist on fedora F11 x86_64. I was surprised that it did not build from source, instead d/l somebody's blist.so. No surprise, testing 'import blist' fails with an undefined symbol. This is distribute 0.6.7. Please add option to force build from source.

Distribute 0.6.7 released
by Tarek Ziadé 01 Nov '09

01 Nov '09

On behalf of the Distribute team, I am pleased to announce the 0.6.7 release of Distribute. As usual, availabe at PyPI: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/distribute Most noticeable changes in 0.6.7 are: - now the develop command supports the --user option, so it can use the per-user site packages (PEP 370) - the generated scripts now wrap their call to the script entry point in the standard "if name == 'main'" - better errors handling in PackageIndex when files and pages are visited by easy_install - a virtualenv-compatible version, so the next virtualenv release will be able to provide a --distribute option. You can visit http://pypi.python.org/pypi/distribute#id2 for a full CHANGES list. We are now starting the 0.6.8 work in parallel of 0.7.x development, with more bugfixes coming up. Regards Tarek
