New submission from Naftuli Tzvi Kay: Please see this on StackOverflow for a full explanation: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17659561/hyphens-in-project-names-in-setu... I have a nice little script library called [buildout-starter](https://github.com/rfkrocktk/buildout-starter) which makes creating Buildout projects really easy. Then, the latest Buildout declared a dependency on `setuptools>=0.7`, so I had to upgrade my `setuptools` here to be compliant. After the upgrade, `setuptools` now fails along with my Buildout. Whereas the following would work before 0.7, it now fails: from setuptools import setup, find_packages setup( name = "tornado-chat-example", version = "0.0.1-SNAPSHOT", packages = find_packages('src'), package_dir = { '': 'src'}, install_requires = [ 'setuptools', ], ) My `src` directory looks like this: src ├── tornadochatexample └── tornado_chat_example.egg-info Here's the error I get: Develop: '/home/naftuli/tornado-chat-example/.' Installing python_section. Couldn't find index page for 'tornadochatexample' (maybe misspelled?) Getting distribution for 'tornadochatexample'. Couldn't find index page for 'tornadochatexample' (maybe misspelled?) While: Installing python_section. Getting distribution for 'tornadochatexample'. Error: Couldn't find a distribution for 'tornadochatexample'. Like I mentioned before, this example would seemingly run on `setuptools` 0.6, but now fails in the latest `setuptools` 0.7. How can I get this to work? I'd like my project to be named `tornado-chat-example` but have a package of `tornadochatexample`. Is this a bug, as it used to work before? ---------- messages: 739 nosy: rfkrocktk priority: bug status: unread title: 0.7 breaks existing packages with hyphens in 'name' _______________________________________________ Setuptools tracker <setuptools@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/issue155> _______________________________________________
