Hi,
The Scenario:
Trac version 11.4
The aim: to connect to the trac from iPad thru tracViewer app.
The tool: the XMLRPC trac plugin has to be installed on the server side.
The problem: how to install the XMLRPC on the server.
The things done:
1. virtual python environment has been installed succesfully (in $HOME/env)
The show stopper: the variable $PYTHONPATH. To what it shall be set to?
The unknown: how this virtual python environment works and what I shall to do to install the plugin
The error message of the showstopper:
=================================================================================
[BAT]$ which easy_install
/usr/bin/easy_install
[BAT]$ source env/bin/activate
(env)[terranova]$ which easy_install
/home/kik/env/bin/easy_install
TEST FAILED: does NOT support .pth files
error: bad install directory or PYTHONPATH
You are attempting to install a package to a directory that is not
on PYTHONPATH and which Python does not read ".pth" files from. The
installation directory you specified (via --install-dir, --prefix, or
the distutils default setting) was:
and your PYTHONPATH environment variable currently contains:
''
Here are some of your options for correcting the problem:
* You can choose a different installation directory, i.e., one that is
on PYTHONPATH or supports .pth files
* You can add the installation directory to the PYTHONPATH environment
variable. (It must then also be on PYTHONPATH whenever you run
Python and want to use the package(s) you are installing.)
* You can set up the installation directory to support ".pth" files by
using one of the approaches described here:
Please make the appropriate changes for your system and try again.

Please help.
