Hi,

I've been having a strange problem with an executable that I create from a previously downloaded package using

pip install -e --user nemosphere.

This is under python 2.7.11 from macports. As it should be, an executable is created,

~/Library/Python/2.7/bin/3ddriver

which I then link to

~/bin/3ddriver

and looks like this:

#!/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python

# EASY-INSTALL-ENTRY-SCRIPT: 'nemosphere','console_scripts','3ddriver'

__requires__ = 'nemosphere'

import sys

from pkg_resources import load_entry_point

if __name__ == '__main__':

sys.exit(

load_entry_point('nemosphere', 'console_scripts', '3ddriver')()

)

However I try to run 3ddriver, I get

$ 3ddriver .....

Traceback (most recent call last):

pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'ordereddict' distribution was not found and is required by funcsigs

*The problem is solved if I install ordereddict*, but I am using python 2.7, so it shouldn't be necessary since python 2.7 already has collections.OrderedDict (and indeed it was not necessary until this week when I upgraded my macports set up, and funcsigs was upgraded to v1.0.0).

IIs the problem that the current version of pkg_resources (which I believe is part of setuptools) automatically searches for ordereddict or is it a funcsigs problem? I am running v 19.2 of setuptools and v 1.0.0 of funcsigs:

~ $python

Python 2.7.11 (default, Mar 1 2016, 18:08:21)

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

>>> import setuptools

19.2

>>> import funcsigs

>>> print funcsigs.__version__

1.0.0
