Hi Daniel,

In your miniconda environment, can you do "conda update setuptools".  If that fails, try "conda install setuptools".  For some reason you have an old version of setuptools (from ~2009) in your environment.

To see where it is, you can do something like this:

>>> import setuptools
>>> print setuptools.__file__

Which should tell you where the setuptools module is installed, and might give you a hint about how it has ended up in your environment.

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to get a development version of yt going on a remote machine. I originally installed yt on that machine using Anaconda, and that's been working well. Since the Anaconda installation takes care of all the dependencies, I hoped I would just be able to install the development version and not have to worry about any of that.

I created a directory called yt in my home directory, then cloned the yt repository:

hg clone https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt .

Then I ran hg update yt in the same directory, and then 

python setup.py develop

also in the same directory. That almost immediately returns with the following error:

File "setup.py", line 17, in <module>
    if StrictVersion(setuptools.__version__) < StrictVersion('0.7.0'):
  File "/<homedir>/miniconda/lib/python2.7/distutils/version.py", line 40, in __init__
    self.parse(vstring)
  File "/<homedir>/miniconda/lib/python2.7/distutils/version.py", line 107, in parse
    raise ValueError, "invalid version number '%s'" % vstring
ValueError: invalid version number '0.6c11'

I'm not sure what this means. Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

Thanks,

Dan
