Paver 0.8.1 with python 2.6

[bertran...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I have installed Python 2.6 and I have installed paver 0.8.1 from
easy_install-2.6. Everything work fine.
Bu when I have tried to generate a new bootstrap environnement to test
my application under python 2.6. I have encountered several problems.

First one (really minor) is: the bootstrap.py file which is generate
with paver has an indentation error. I have corrected really easily.
Second one: When I launched the corrected bootstrap.py, it tries to
download the http://pypi.python.org/packages/2.6/s/setuptools/setuptools-0.6c8-py2.6.egg
EGG file which doesn't exist. I have tried to specify the
setuptools-0.6c9-py2.6.egg by downloading it and saving it in my
support-files directory but even if it found it, it tries to download
the 0.6c8 one from the web. Even in verbose mode, it doesn't tell me
why it tries to use this version.

Have you any idea ?

Sincerely

Bertrand Cachet

Hi Bertrand,

This is why people should distribute sdists rather than eggs,
particularly for Python packages without C extensions.

Glad to here that Paver+Python 2.6 generally work okay together. I
figured they would.

You might want to try running with virtualenv from trunk. I think Ian
made a 2.6 related fix, and I don't know if he's released an update yet.

My bootstrap.py files have never had an indentation problem... Can you
send along the offending lines (maybe with some context lines?)

Kevin

Hi Kevin,

I attach to this email the generated bootstrap.py file and the pavement.py I use.
Sorry, I don't understand something, do I need to get virtualenv or paver (with its updated virtualent) from trunk ?
Thanks for your answer
Bertrand

Hi Bertrand,

I haven't had a chance to look at your attached files yet, but I thought I'd toss out the clarification... I meant virtualenv from trunk.

Hi,

I have installed SVN version of virtualenv (with easy_install-2.6 virtualenv==dev), but it still doesn't work. It still crash trying to download setuptools version 0.6c8-py2.6 instead of 0.6c9.
I have tried on linux, Mac and Windows version.
I have tried on several projects I work on.

Does anyone encounter the same problem ?

[Bertrand]

I have tried to bootstrap Paver0.8.1 build environnement for python2.6 and it doesn't work too.
I download Paver0.8.1 and then run:

The problem is different here.
Also there is a strange behavior, your bootstrap.py doesn't support --python options, why ?

I'm currently at the office, but I will have a look tonight to all that stuff.

Something just occurred to me... I think virtualenv sometimes just installs what is installed on your system. Do you have any setuptools on your system that virtualenv might be trying to use?

[Bertrand]

Yes I have installed setuptools to be able to generate bootstrap.py file some time ago.
I will try to remove all setuptools egg/directory files I encounter on my system and relaunch the bootstrap process
I will give you information about the issue.

2008/10/9 Kevin Dangoor <dan...@gmail.com>

[Bertrand]

I have deleted all the setuptools EGG file or directory I have found on the sys.path of python.
It still doesn't work with the same error.

Do you manage to make it work with Paver's bootstrap.py file and python 2.6 ?

2008/10/9 Bertrand <bertran...@gmail.com>

[Kevin Dangoor]

I got it working...the short story is that you can check out Paver from launchpad (bzr branch lp:paver) and you should be able to run bootstrap.py from there.

The long story is that I did this:

- download ez_setup.py

- run python2.6 ez_setup.py

- python2.6 -m easy_install http://svn.colorstudy.com/virtualenv/trunk/

- python2.6 -m easy_install Paver

- (path to the python 2.6 paver)/paver bootstrap

And now I've checked the new bootstrap in. It works on 2.6, and will hopefully still work on 2.5 ;)

Kevin

[Bertrand]

Yeah it works now.
The only difference is that I install virtualenv svn version using easy_install virtualenv==dev instead of giving the svn location.

One thing, the bootstrap.py file generated still have an indentation error.
I attach it to this email.

Thanks a lot for your help.

[Kevin Dangoor]

Ahh, I think I see the problem...

Just delete the bootstrap task that you have in your pavement. The one you have is copied from Paver's, and Paver had to do some extra stuff to bootstrap itself that you shouldn't have to do.

And, if your intention is to run develop, you should set your paver_command_line to "develop".

Kevin

[Bertrand]

Ok thanks, I will have a look to it.
