Hi Sam,

It looks like restish hasn't installed correctly. I'm not sure if
that's a problem with restish's setup.py or your environment.

I just tried the same thing using a virtualenv and it worked ok. I've
never installed to /usr/local so perhaps that's the problem, although
it looks like your entire Python 2.6 is installed there so it seems
unlikely.

Can you tell me more about your environment and how you installed
restish so I can try to duplicate the problem. Do you have the same
problem installing the 0.10 release available on PyPI?

- Matt

Thanks Matt,

Here is are steps that i have done

1. easy_install webob
2. easy_install decorator
3. apt-get install python-pastescript
4. easy_install restish

And i have python 2.6 install, which you have already gathered. And I
am running all this on LinuxMint 8.0

OK, you're installing restish from a local git clone and you're using
setuptools (not distribute), right? If so, you have a few options:

1. Install setuptools-git from PyPI, http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools-git.
2. Use distribute instead of setuptools, http://pypi.python.org/pypi/distribute.
3. Install restish from PyPI. Nothing significant has changed since then anyway.

The problem is that setuptools uses information from the VCS to find
non-python data files, i.e. the paster template, to include in the
package. Unfortunately, setuptools doesn't know about git without the
setuptools-git plugin. The distribute package seems to have support
for git built in :).

Hope this helps & that you enjoy playing with restish.

Hey,

Thanks for the help. I took the one from PyPI and it worked like a
charm. Will be in touch for more.

So long and thanks for all the (f)ish.
