The "tg-admin sql" command uses sqlobject which, in turn uses egg metadata. Something I just noticed is that these commands are no longer working on a project i have called "Wiki-20". They *used* to work. Now they get a "DistributionNotFound" error for Wiki-20. ... I had also tried to just do "pkg_resources.require("WIki-20")" from the Python shell, but that didn't work either. This is new behavior between a8 and a9. Let me know if there's anything else I can tell you about the problem...
Otherwise, recent versions of setuptools will think the '-' is the separator between the project name and version number, leading to problems like the ones described by Kevin above.
There is a standard regular expression that can be used to split out N-V which is a pretty common thing in deb/rpm. (ie. python-foo). I use the following in some py scripts to manage these pairings for my rpm repo: '(?i)(.*)-([^-]*)-(([^-]*)\.([^-]*)\.%s)(.*)' Which is N-V-R.dist.repo.ext The form that you might want would be: '(.*)-([^-]*)' Name-Version This would allow Name to have -. Obviously, - cannot be used in Version. Also, two side notes, 1) it's kind of annoying that package names interchange between `-' and `_', one in the file name of the archive and one used in the extracted directory name. 2) I've also see the use of `_' in versioning, such as json.py. I also highly discourage that practice. -- -jeff
