[Mario Lang]

Package: python-setuptools
Version: 0.6c8-3
Severity: serious

The symptom:
x2:~/src/a11y/freedots% python setup.py sdist
running sdist
running egg_info
writing requirements to freedots.egg-info/requires.txt
writing freedots.egg-info/PKG-INFO
writing top-level names to freedots.egg-info/top_level.txt
writing dependency_links to freedots.egg-info/dependency_links.txt
writing entry points to freedots.egg-info/entry_points.txt

log.warn("unrecognized .svn/entries format in %s", dirname)
NameError: global name 'log' is not defined
zsh: exit 1 python setup.py sdist

The code in /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/setuptools/command/sdist.py
is as follows:

def entries_finder(dirname, filename):
f = open(filename,'rU')
data = f.read()
f.close()
if data.startswith('8'): # subversion 1.4
for record in map(str.splitlines, data.split('\n\x0c\n')[1:]):
if not record or len(record)>=6 and record[5]=="delete":
continue # skip deleted
yield joinpath(dirname, record[0])
elif data.startswith('<?xml'):
for match in entries_pattern.finditer(data):
yield joinpath(dirname,unescape(match.group(1)))
else:
log.warn("unrecognized .svn/entries format in %s", dirname)

But my .svn/entries files start with '9' as the first character because
I am using subversion 1.5 (which is packaged).

It follows that this version of python-setuptools is
not compatible with subversion 1.5, breaking my setup.py files
because I upgraded to subversion 1.5. As it stands, setuptools
is not pretty unusable on my system.

adding:
from distutils import log
to the top of:
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/setuptools/command/sdist.py
fixes it for me. This is my first bug report resonse so sorry if I formatted it wrong.

The patch at http://bugs.python.org/issue2770 fixes the issue by looking
for files that start with '9' as well as '8', though I imagine sdist.py
should import the log function since it references it. Silly setuptools.
