error in windows 7 installation
by Manuel López May 13, 2014

May 13, 2014

Hello Everybody: I am trying to install distribute-0.6.25 in a windows 7 machine. I have python 2.7.3 in 32 bits, although the machine is 64 bits. I installed the 32 bit python version because I want to install ipython and there is no 64 bit builds of the Windows installer for ipython. In any case, upon installing disuitils with python setup.py install I get the following error error: C:\manuel\prog_red\python\distribute-0.6.25\distribute-0.6.25\setuptools\cli-32.exe: No such file or directory Any help will be greatly appeciated. Thanks, Manuel -- Manuel López Mariscal Depto. de Oceanografía Física/CICESE malope(a)cicese.mx

Problem with latest buildout bootstrap on Windows with Python 3.3
by Lele Gaifax May 13, 2014

May 13, 2014

Hi all, I'm facing a problem trying to bootstrap a buildout with its latest bootstrap script under Windows, using Python 3.3. I'm looking for some hint to decide whether the issue is with buildout, Python 3, or with my own installation ... The problem is that executing the bootstrap script I obtain an ImportError on the standard `getopt` module. Digging a bit, I see that ``site.getsitepackages()`` returns a list composed by two elements, ``c:\\Python33`` and ``c:\\Python33\\lib\\site-packages``: effectively even the 3.4 code at http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/bc160f985b7b/Lib/site.py#l312 explicitly puts the plain "prefix" into the list. Then the buildout bootstrap script does something like:: for sitepackage_path in site.getsitepackages(): sys.path[:] = [x for x in sys.path if sitepackage_path not in x] and obviously after that ``sys.path`` does *not* contain any standard library path (which lives under "c:\\Python33\\Lib"), just the current working directory and `c:\\Windows\\system32\\python33.zip`. The code in the bootstrap script seems correct (even if it should probably use something like ``not x.startswith(sitepackage_path)``), what seems strange is that, under Windows, the ``getsitepackages()`` result contains a bare ``c:\\Python33``... for comparison, on my Debian sid I get:: Python 3.3.5 (default, Mar 22 2014, 13:24:53) [GCC 4.8.2] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import site >>> site.getsitepackages() ['/usr/local/lib/python3.3/dist-packages', '/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages', '/usr/lib/python3.3/dist-packages', '/usr/lib/dist-python'] >>> What is going wrong here?

Note that this problem is specifically why the metadata 2.0 extension design now has the concept of mandatory extensions - so we can later define an installation hook system (along the lines of RPMs triggers), and have installers that don't understand the relevant extension fall back to installing directly from source. We should make that "fall back to running 'setup.py install' directly if you don't understand a metadata extension in the wheel file" aspect explicit, but either a metabuild system spec or the revision of the wheel spec that adds metadata 2.0 support would likely be the right place for that, rather than having it directly in the metadata 2.0 details (on the other hand, it may also make sense to include as an example use case for the attribute in the PEP 426 explanatory notes).

Windows 8 pkg_resources permissions bug
by Ian Cordasco May 6, 2014

May 6, 2014

Hey all, I searched the issues on the setuptools repository but I couldn't find any that seemed relevant to what a user of Flake8 has run into: https://bitbucket.org/tarek/flake8/issue/142/installation-on-windows-8-perm… It seems that installing something that relies on pkg_resources to load plugins will cause errors on Windows 8. Does anyone have any insight? Is this actually a bug? Are we just using pkg_resources incorrectly? Thanks in advance, Ian

[ANN] stdeb 0.7.1
by Andrew Straw May 6, 2014

May 6, 2014

Hi all, stdeb is a package to produce Debian packages from Python packages. Today I’m announcing release 0.7.1 of stdeb. Highlights since the last publicly announced release (0.6.0): • New command-line commands: pypi-download and pypi-install to directly download and install packages from PyPI, respectively. py2dsc-deb directly creates a .deb file from a source tarball. • New distutils command: install_deb lets you directly install a python package as a standard system package. • Many bugfixes, including the new URL for PyPI. • Automated runs of test suite, thanks to Travis CI. Thanks to many, especially Piotr Ożarowski in this release, for help with stdeb. Changelog: https://github.com/astraw/stdeb/blob/release-0.7.1/CHANGELOG.txt Download: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/stdeb/0.7.1 Development: https://github.com/astraw/stdeb Best regards, Andrew

New Documentation URL for pip and virtualenv
by Donald Stufft May 6, 2014

May 6, 2014

pip and virtualenv have moved their documentation away from http://www.pip-installer.org/ and http://www.virtualenv.org/ to https://pip.pypa.io/ and https://virtualenv.pypa.io/. The new locations are still backed by ReadTheDocs however they are fronted by Fastly and have enforced TLS. The old documentation URLs will redirect to the new locations indefinitely so all existing links should continue to work. This is part of a larger effort to consolidate all of the PyPA related work under one domain. Currently this includes: * https://pip.pypa.io/ * https://virtualenv.pypa.io/ * https://warehouse.pypa.io/ * https://bootstrap.pypa.io/ ----------------- Donald Stufft PGP: 0x6E3CBCE93372DCFA // 7C6B 7C5D 5E2B 6356 A926 F04F 6E3C BCE9 3372 DCFA
