Of course, if you don't need password protection such as when you have your "egg server" on a private network, you just need the find-links. I'm not really sure why people have written a complicated array of "egg servers" and the like when a simple http or file system served folder is just fine ;-) cheers, Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Batch Processing & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk

Project with multiple eggs
by Marc Tardif 25 Apr '11

25 Apr '11

Hi folks, Is there a way to build multiple eggs within the same project? I'm using distutils with buildout which makes certain assumptions about setup.py being able to build a single egg. So, I started looking around and found python-repoze.who-plugins which has a setup.py in the base of the project calling upon individual setup.py files in subdirectories. I'm not sure this is recommended though and not sure how it would work with buildout either. So, I'm wondering if there might be a reasonable example of a project building multiple eggs from the same project. -- Marc Tardif <marc.tardif(a)canonical.com> Freenode: cr3, Jabber: cr3(a)jabber.org 1024D/72679CAD 09A9 D871 F7C4 A18F AC08 674D 2B73 740C 7267 9CAD

Including symlinked data files in an egg
by Wichert Akkerman 22 Apr '11

22 Apr '11

I have a package with a source that looks like this: setup.py MANIFEST.in Prototype/libraries/jquery.js Prototype/style/main.css my/ my/package/ my/package/templates/libraries -> ../../../Prototype/libraries my/package/templates/style -> ../../../Prototype/style what I would like to accomplish is that when a bdist is made either Prototype/ is installed somewhere and the symlinks point to it, or the symlinks are replaced with a copy of the data they point to. For a package maintained in subverion this works: when the sdist is created the symlink is replaced with a copy of the thing it points to, which is then included in the bdist. For a package maintained in git this does not work: the symlink always appears to be ignored. Is there a way to accomplish this?

Hi, I would like to know what is the status of "extensions" package (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/extensions/0.4) ? It's the future of "entry points" of packaging / distutils2 ? Thanks for your help.

Need help with a usecase
by Arve Knudsen 21 Apr '11

21 Apr '11

Hello I'm new to Buildout and need to figure out how to accomplish a (seemingly) simple usecase: Install my project from source into an isolated environment. My project has a Distribute-based setup.py and I'd like to install it and its dependencies to an isolated environment. I gather this should be doable using Buildout, but how? I've experimented a bit and read the documentation on PyPi, but so far I have not succeeded. Thanks! Arve

[buildout] getaddrinfo failed
by Arve Knudsen 20 Apr '11

20 Apr '11

Hi I've got buildout (1.5.2) working for me, but it emits some errors when installing my distribution (under Python 2.7 on Windows). $ .\bin\buildout.exe -v -v -v Installing 'zc.buildout', 'distribute'. Download error: [Errno 11004] getaddrinfo failed -- Some packages may not be found! The same problem does *not* occur on Linux, I've found. Is this due to a bug in buildout? Thanks, Arve

[issue126] Windows: easy_install's 'DOS' window closes automatically, error msgs lost
by Mike Cowperthwaite 15 Apr '11

15 Apr '11

New submission from Mike Cowperthwaite <mcow(a)well.com>: This may be specific to Windows Vista and Windows 7, I think. I am using 64-bit Windows 7; see also this page for similar problem with Vista: http://catherinedevlin.blogspot.com/2009/08/workaround-easyinstall-windows-… It seems that Windows forces easy_install (and pip) to open into a new cmd shell, when run from a command shell. When the install program completes, the cmd shell closes. If there are any problems with the install, the program errors are lost, making troubleshooting difficult. The hack of elevating to Administrator described there as working under Vista doesn't work for me on W7/64. I don't expect anyone to figure out how to keep Windows from launching into a new window, but, as a workaround: I'd like a command-line switch I can add to easy_install which would pause at the end of the install and print something like "Hit any key to continue" and then wait for that activity. ---------- messages: 613 nosy: mcow priority: wish status: unread title: Windows: easy_install's 'DOS' window closes automatically, error msgs lost _______________________________________________ Setuptools tracker <setuptools(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/issue126> _______________________________________________

Problem uploading an MSI to PyPI
by exarkun＠twistedmatrix.com 13 Apr '11

13 Apr '11

Hello all, A member of the Tahoe-LAFS community was kind enough to build a Python 2.6 amd64 MSI installer for pyOpenSSL 0.12 for me (since I am not set up to build anything for 64 bit Windows). The MSI is available at http://twistedmatrix.com/~exarkun/pyOpenSSL-0.12 .win-amd64-py2.6.msi for the time being. It might be interesting to inspect in considering the question I have. First I tried uploading it to PyPI using the web interface. Unfortunately this resulted in a failed upload (several times) because "invalid distribution file". Then I tried using the distutils upload command (which I had to modify to allow uploading a file which was already built, rather than one which was being built at the moment). This produced the same result ("Upload failed (400): invalid distribution file"). So... is this a distutils bug? Is there something wrong with the MSI? Is it something wrong with pyOpenSSL's setup.py? Is it a bug in PyPI causing it to reject a valid MSI? (I hope the cross-posting is okay, since this topic seems to straddle these two areas.) Thanks, Jean-Paul

bdist_wininst on unix and install_lib
by anatoly techtonik 12 Apr '11

12 Apr '11

Hi, I want to build binary wininst distributions of pure python package on unix. That's pretty possible and works already. But I need to patch `install_lib` and `install_data` targets with custom platform-specific modifications. I've noticed that bdist_wininst runs `install_*` targets during the build. The question is: How can `install_lib` detect if it is executed to build code for windows platform when it is executed on unix? Please, CC. -- anatoly t.

Redirect from packages.python.org/my_project to my doc site
by cool-RR 11 Apr '11

11 Apr '11

Hello, Perhaps *packages.python.org* will become the new go-to place where people expect to find documentation, like PyPI. I prefer to host my docs on my own server. Can I set something in my project settings that would cause a redirect to be created from `packages.python.org/my_project` to my own doc site? Thanks, Ram.
