[Distutils] Setuptools/Distribute error with 0.7.2

Sun Jun 9 20:07:23 CEST 2013

Hi Liam,

                Sorry for the trouble. The cause is rooted in the latest
updates to Setuptools and Distribute on PyPI which were launched today.

                I believe what's happening here is pip is installing
Distribute 0.7, which triggers the uninstallation of Distribute, but
Distribute 0.7 (a compatibility wrapper) depends on a setuptools module to
be in place to install.

                I'm unsure about the failed rollback. That looks like a
separate issue in pip.

                Based on your report, I'm going to remove the Distribute-0.7
wrapper from PyPI until this issue is resolved. That is done.

                In order to repair those envs, you may simply be able to
re-run the chef code over the environments and they may repair naturally. If
they don't, you may need to re-initialize the virtualenv (run virtualenv
again on that path) in order to revive distribute in that environment.

                I hope the pip or virtualenv maintainers can comment as
well.

Regards,

Jason

Hi --
I'm hoping for some help with an error I'm suddenly getting with distribute,
setuptools.
It had been working fine, and seemingly overnight it stopped working.  I
really don't think I changed anything.
This is part of a chef recipe, which also installs virtualenv.
It appears that a new version 0.7.2 is downloaded, but it fails to install,
and then the rollback fails, as well.

Not sure quite what is wrong here and how to fix it!

Liam
