buildout: bootstrap.py in 1.5.0b1 + python 2.5
Hey, I'm facing a problem running the bootstrap.py from buildout 1.5.0b1. The errors are pasted here: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/208025/ This error occurs only when I use Python 2.5; with 2.6 it works fine. Also it happens even if i set the flag --distribute. So for the time being I'm using the bootstrap from 1.4.3 on python 2.5, as it works well. I tried to debug it but I'm not familiar with the libraries and had no success. Could anybody please confirm that it is not working with Python 2.5 so that I know that the problem is not in my environment? :) thank you, rodrigo
After a little more investigation, it seems that the problem is caused by adding the -S flag to python. After I commented out this part of the code: # In order to be more robust in the face of system Pythons, we want to # run without site-packages loaded. This is somewhat tricky, in # particular because Python 2.6's distutils imports site, so starting # with the -S flag is not sufficient. However, we'll start with that: if 'site' in sys.modules: # We will restart with python -S. args = sys.argv[:] args[0:0] = [sys.executable, '-S'] args = map(quote, args) os.execv(sys.executable, args) ...it now works with python 2.5. I'm not sure about the implications of this change, though. -- rodrigo
(and now sorry for the spam) Just for clarification, I could reproduce the error using python 2.6. I realized later that I had buildout installed in site-packages for python2.5. Running the bootstrap script with buildout installed causes a problem. Then I installed buildout on python 2.6 and the same error happens. Removing it from site-packages or removing the -S flag from bootstrap fixes the problem. Should I open a ticket? -- rodrigo

Ah-ha! That makes more sense. I was pretty sure everything worked on 2.5, since we have significant use of that right now.

You can (on Launchpad) but it isn't necessary. I'm working on the bugs I've heard so far. Thanks Gary
