setuptools is causing me pain lately. Something's clearly broken, but setuptools is not helping me understand what, or how to fix it.

You have a broken setuptools installation in /opt, which is missing site.py. I'm afraid that setuptools isn't designed to gracefully handle the situation where random files are simply missing from the installation.
I'm going to guess that it's missing because it was installed using an RPM or some other package put together by someone who had the hubris to assume that I would actually include files in setuptools that aren't *necessary* for its operation, and that it would therefore be "better" for them to remove it. If this is the case, please educate them regarding the error of their ways -- it will be taken more seriously from an actual user bitten by it, than from me.

I notice here you're using /usr instead of opt, and this worked, so it appears you have two setuptools installations: one working and one not. Be sure to praise the originator of your working installation as much as you shame the culprit responsible for your broken one. :)

Hi Phillip, thanks for the response.

Would it be possible to just print the traceback? I haven't looked at the code, but a traceback at least would have helped me narrow down where setuptools was unhappy. The above error message really gives me no clue about where to go next, what to look for, or how to debug and fix the problem. Even a simple "Hey, your setuptools installation is broken, better reinstall it!" would have been very helpful.

This is the MacPorts version of Python, so I guess I have to shame them for busting setuptools. I ended up re-installing it manually to make it happy again. Your explanation about the root problem was helpful in understanding that this was probably the right course of action. :) Maybe I'll try to figure out why the MacPorts version broke.

Yes, /usr/local/bin/python2.5 is the one I built and installed from source, so I thank me for a working setuptools installation there! Way to go Barry! :)
The other thing I didn't understand is why I got a different error message after the first "setup.py develop" and why it took deleting mailman.egg-info to get the original error message back. Maybe I should look at the setuptools code more carefully. <wink>
Thanks, - -Barry

You can set the DISTUTILS_DEBUG environment variable to get tracebacks from distutils or setuptools.

They took out the 'site.py' file. It's not optional.

I'm guessing that your setup.py includes a source-finding entry point. When the .egg-info already exists, the entry point would get called during the egg_info source manifest generation, and it's apparently hitting a missing requirement. When the .egg-info doesn't exist, the entry point wouldn't get called.

Good to know, thanks.
