#1090: Failed installing to alternate directory (distutils, pip)
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
Reporter: guest | Owner: fumanchu
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone:
Component: CherryPy code | Keywords: install
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY:
Couldn't install CherryPy to alternate directory using PIP. It fails at
'intall_data'.

FIX:
I comment line 110 in setup.py: fix_data_files(data_files)

DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM:
Note: This was using Jython but guess it would be the same with CPython.

Alternate directory: /opt/nhery/lib/jython2.5.2/site-packages
Default directory (don't have permissions): /opt/fddata/jython2.5.2/Lib
/site-packages

I have a /opt/fddata/jython2.5.2/Lib/distutils/distutils.cfg that looks
like:
[install]
install_lib = /opt/nhery/lib/jython2.5.2/site-packages

Works fine until install_data
Output of 'pip install cherrypy':

......
byte-compiling /opt/nhery/lib/jython2.5.2/site-packages/cherrypy/tutorial
/bonus-sqlobject.py to bonus-sqlobject$py.class

byte-compiling /opt/nhery/lib/jython2.5.2/site-
packages/cherrypy/tutorial/tut02_expose_methods.py to
tut02_expose_methods$py.class

running install_data

creating /opt/fddata/jython2.5.2/Lib/site-packages/cherrypy

error: could not create '/opt/fddata/jython2.5.2/Lib/site-
packages/cherrypy': Permission denied
