"Entry point not found"

[Matthew Harris]

At some point in the past few weeks, I ceased to be able to run beancount. When I run bean-web, for example, I get

$ bean-web finances.beancount 

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/Users/mharris/homebrew/bin/bean-web", line 11, in <module>

    load_entry_point('beancount==2.0b13', 'console_scripts', 'bean-web')()

  File "/Users/mharris/homebrew/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 561, in load_entry_point

    return get_distribution(dist).load_entry_point(group, name)

  File "/Users/mharris/homebrew/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2630, in load_entry_point

    raise ImportError("Entry point %r not found" % ((group, name),))

ImportError: Entry point ('console_scripts', 'bean-web') not found

I don't know if this was a beancount change or a change of my machine. FWIW, I'm running OS X with homebrew. You probably can't solve my problem for me, but can you point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

I made a change to the installation:

https://bitbucket.org/blais/beancount/commits/e1c97f1afadc969a5a128e3efe4cc113aef7c9b1?at=default

The scripts apparently weren't appearing under Windows.

When I tested under Linux, it failed, so I made the change condition on platform = Windows & not setuptools.

Oh! I forgot to remove the old test options.

Here:

https://bitbucket.org/blais/beancount/commits/bd3f97caca3def9577a220c73cf0943310f2fe76?at=default

Update and try again.

LMK if it doesn't fix it.

Thanks for reporting,

Well, now I get a different error:

$ bean-web finances.beancount

Traceback (most recent call last):

Wait, how do you install it?

Send me all the details.

I have a macOS box here, I just tested this, it works for me.

pip3 install . , from the beancount directory.

It installs the script under /usr/local/bin

Interesting. I didn't know about that approach. My procedure has always been

# I haven't bothered to track down what I need to do to avoid the --insecure now.

hg pull --insecure

hg update

./setup install

This installs it in ~/homebrew/bin/.

I just tried 'pip3 install .', and that didn't help, but 'pip3 install . --upgrade' did. Now I'm running again.

Thanks.

Great.

Please do report it if you encounter the problem again.

(I suspect you had installed while I had the extra option and then did not force the reinstall over the previously installed files.)
