Public bug reported: If zc.buildout is already installed (say it was pip installed) in Python environment, the bootstrap.py script fails without reasonable explanation: $ python bootstrap.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "bootstrap.py", line 255, in <module> import zc.buildout.buildout ImportError: No module named zc.buildout.buildout This is confusing because you can see that zc.buildout.buildout is available. $ python Python 2.6.5 (r265:79063, Jun 25 2011, 08:36:25) [GCC 4.4.4 20100726 (Red Hat 4.4.4-13)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import zc.buildout.buildout >>> It turns out that if zc.buildout is already available, bootstrap.py does not need to be run, but that is less than obvious to someone who is not intimately familiar with buildout. ** Affects: mailman Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: mailman3 ** Tags added: mailman3 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/869342 Title: bootstrap.py fails if buildout already installed in Python environment To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/869342/+subscriptions
