Hi,

when I tried to install Pylons 1.0.1 (required by another project)

with "python setup.py install"

I got the following error

...

copying Pylons.egg-info\not-zip-safe -> build\bdist.win-amd64\egg\EGG-INFO

copying Pylons.egg-info\requires.txt -> build\bdist.win-amd64\egg\EGG-INFO

Searching for WebOb>=1.1.1

Reading http://www.pylonshq.com/download/

error: None

http://pylonshq.com.isdownorblocked.com/ also says http://www.pylonshq.com is down

What should I do?

cheers

I don't think pylonshq is used anymore.  Those links should probably be fixed.  I'll file a ticket.

You might be able to just remove these 2 lines from setup.cfg:

    [easy_install]

    find_links = http://www.pylonshq.com/download/

You can grab most (all?) of the packages from http://PyPi.python.org ( which should be searched if you remove those 2 lines) ; The pylons GitHub repo has some as well

* https://github.com/Pylons

* https://github.com/Pylons/webob/releases

here's a QUICK WARNING though--  there are some compatibility issues.  pylons requires some very specific version of various packages to run.

if you have another project already running pylons, you should probably do a `pip freeze` and install those exact package versions first.

I know that you need to run EXACTLY the 1.1.1 version of webob... because later versions are incompatible. 

Here's a bit of a conversation a little over a year ago:  https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/pylons-discuss/pylons$20webob%7Csort:date/pylons-discuss/J8Azw0yGISU/oGHc6LfW1TgJ

Thanks

removing the 2 lines did help.
