Thanks Jim, I think you are correct. The result of the script you provided returned 'None'. Unfortunately, I commented out the "try" code...

#try:

# import pkg_resources

#except ImportError:

and left the "except" code...

ez = {}

exec urllib2.urlopen('http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py'

).read() in ez

ez['use_setuptools'](to_dir=tmpeggs, download_delay=0)

import pkg_resources

...but got the same error.

I am running the OS X EPD distribution, which uses Enstaller (built on setuptools). Could this have something to do with it?

Many thanks for the help,

DK

the bootstrap.py script. I get the following error:

Unfortunately, I have no idea why this error is occurring. I am running on OS X Leopard and was just trying to bootstrap an empty buildout.cfg file to get things started. Tried googling the error, but nothing came up.

Any pointers?

My guess is that you have setuptools installed in your python that wasn't installed as an egg. What is the output of running the following Python script:

import pkg_resources ws = pkg_resources.working_set print ws.find(pkg_resources.Requirement.parse('setuptools'))

?

The bootstrap script has a try/except that tries to import pkg_utils. If the import succeeds, it assumes that setiuptools is already installed. Try replacing the try/except with the contents of the except.

Thanks Dave, appreciate the tip.

As a quick fix, you could re-write the code you have as pkg_resources.require('enstaller') and be on your way.

I tried replacing 'setuptools' with 'enstaller' in the code and got the following result:

Retrieved config from: /Users/davidkim/.enstallerrc

Retrieved config from: /Users/davidkim/.enstallerrc

There is no difference between the current state and the most recent saved

state in the enstaller.cache, so the current state does not need to be saved.

It's unclear to me where these files are and how I can get to them. I used the following bootstrap.py code.

import os, shutil, sys, tempfile, urllib2

tmpeggs = tempfile.mkdtemp()

is_jython = sys.platform.startswith('java')

ez = {}

exec urllib2.urlopen('http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py'

).read() in ez

ez['use_setuptools'](to_dir=tmpeggs, download_delay=0)

import pkg_resources

if sys.platform == 'win32':

def quote(c):

if ' ' in c:

return '"%s"' % c # work around spawn lamosity on windows

else:

return c

else:

def quote (c):

return c

cmd = 'from setuptools.command.easy_install import main; main()'

ws = pkg_resources.working_set

if len(sys.argv) > 2 and sys.argv[1] == '--version':

VERSION = '==%s' % sys.argv[2]

args = sys.argv[3:] + ['bootstrap']

else:

VERSION = ''

args = sys.argv[1:] + ['bootstrap']

if is_jython:

import subprocess

assert subprocess.Popen([sys.executable] + ['-c', quote(cmd), '-mqNxd',

quote(tmpeggs), 'zc.buildout' + VERSION],

env=dict(os.environ,

PYTHONPATH=

ws.find(pkg_resources.Requirement.parse('enstaller')).location

),

).wait() == 0

else:

assert os.spawnle(

os.P_WAIT, sys.executable, quote (sys.executable),

'-c', quote (cmd), '-mqNxd', quote (tmpeggs), 'zc.buildout' +

VERSION,

dict(os.environ,

PYTHONPATH=

ws.find(pkg_resources.Requirement.parse('enstaller')).location

),

) == 0

ws.add_entry(tmpeggs)

ws.require('zc.buildout' + VERSION)

import zc.buildout.buildout

zc.buildout.buildout.main(args)

shutil.rmtree(tmpeggs)

Apologies in advance if I'm being dense. Thanks so much for the help.
