[Distutils] Buildout & develop-eggs troubles
Alessandro Dentella
Hi,
I'm trying buildout but I'm having a hard time trying to understand the
logic of develop-egg.
I tested both mr.developer recepy and gp.csvdevelop and I stumbled on the
same problem, so I guess I'm misunderstanding something.
I want to add a development repository named jumbo-core that contains
several 1^ level packages (and a correct setup.py), one of which is 'jumbo',
I get to the point that:
1. source is added to ./dev/jumbo-core
2. an egg-link is added to develop-eggs/jumbo-core.egg-link pointing to
the correct path where the hg repository is checked out, but that path
is not added to the sys.path. My configuration is as follows::
[buildout]
develop = .
parts = python scripts test ipython
extensions = gp.vcsdevelop
develop-dir = ./dev
vcs-extend-develop = hg+${thunder:jumbonew}/jumbo-core#egg=jumbo-core
[python]
recipe = zc.recipe.egg
interpreter = python
eggs = lunar
Adding 'jumbo' to eggs directive raises the error: "Couldn't find index page
for 'jumbo' (maybe misspelled?)"
If I add dev/jumbo-core to develop option I get the message::
Skipping 'hg+/misc/src/hg/thunder/jumbo-new/jumbo-core#egg=jumbo-core'. Package is already in the develop option
but dev/jumbo-core is not added to the sys.path.
Any hint is appreciated.
TIA

I don't understand alot of what you said above, but hopefully, I can get by. :)

The develop option names a (or many) setup.py file.
You can also, as a common shortcut, name a directory
containing setup.py file. The develop option invokes
the setup.py file to create a develop egg.
The setup.py file defines a product name. From the
name of the egg link you mention, I'm guessing that
the setup.py file in the current directory ('.') sets the
project name to 'jumbo-core'.
The egg recipe builds a script based on a list
of requirements as listed in the eggs option.
(Yeah, 'requirements' would have been a better
name...) The requirements are typically just
project names, although they can also contain
version specifications.
If, as I suspect, the project name is 'jumbo-core', rather
than 'jumbo', then you need to add jumbo-core to your
eggs option (on a separate line).

Thanks Jim,

this solves indeed my problem. I realize I could have understood it just
looking at others egg names (e.g. python-dateutils).
