Public bug reported: If mailman.client is loaded as a separate module (as instructed), then mailman cannot exist in the same environment because there are two "mailman" modules to search. I found this when I tried to generate sphinx documentation for mailman after I had installed protorious. To reproduce: mkvirtualenv BUG bzr branch lp:mailman.client cd mailman.client/ python setup.py develop easy_install sphinx cd .. bzr branch lp:mailman cd mailman python bootstrap.py bin/buildout python setup.py build_sphinx Results in: Running Sphinx v1.1.3 Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 112, in <module> 'zope.testing<4', File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/distutils/core.py", line 152, in setup dist.run_commands() File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/distutils/dist.py", line 953, in run_commands self.run_command(cmd) File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/distutils/dist.py", line 972, in run_command cmd_obj.run() File "/Volumes/UserSpace/rkw/.virtualenvs/BUG/lib/python2.7/site-packages/Sphinx-1.1.3-py2.7.egg/sphinx/setup_command.py", line 140, in run freshenv=self.fresh_env) File "/Volumes/UserSpace/rkw/.virtualenvs/BUG/lib/python2.7/site-packages/Sphinx-1.1.3-py2.7.egg/sphinx/application.py", line 102, in __init__ confoverrides or {}, self.tags) File "/Volumes/UserSpace/rkw/.virtualenvs/BUG/lib/python2.7/site-packages/Sphinx-1.1.3-py2.7.egg/sphinx/config.py", line 216, in __init__ exec code in config File "/Volumes/UserSpace/rkw/.virtualenvs/BUG/mailman/conf.py", line 54, in <module> from mailman.version import VERSION ImportError: No module named version ** Affects: mailman Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: 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/975668 Title: mailman.client conflicts with mailman installation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/975668/+subscriptions
