New submission from Ted Tibbetts <intuited@gmail.com>: Looks like there is a typo in the function `make_zipfile` in the file `command/bdist_enc`: the last line of the else clause of the if construct at the end of the function passes `file` as the third parameter to `visit`; it should be passing `files`, I think. Symptoms include the exception `TypeError("'instancemethod' object is not iterable")` when attempting to run `easy_install -n some_sdist.tar.gz`. Applying the attached patch seems to resolve the issue; I'm still not entirely sure what it's telling me, but at least it's not spitting out a stack trace. ---------- files: bdist_egg.py.diff messages: 550 nosy: intuited priority: bug status: unread title: typo in command.bdist_enc.make_zipfile Added file: http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/file72/bdist_egg.py.diff _______________________________________________ Setuptools tracker <setuptools@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/issue116> _______________________________________________
