paster has a PasteScript error here

[Martin Kaffanke]

Hi there!

Copy and paste says more than I can explain:

$ paster help

Ok, pylons wants PasteScript 0.9.7, but I have only 0.9.8 there.

Any suggestions what I can do?

Thanks,
Martin

Try:
easy_install -UaZ \
http://cheeseshop.python.org/packages/source/P/PasteScript/PasteScript-0.9.7.tar.gz#md5=f12fa3a9abd8a4e24ae775c649f12a45

Thanks, that worked fine!

Ok, it did not work fully:

$ paster create --template=pylons helloworld

This seems to be somehow mixed with the versions.

Tell me what could I try next?
A simple 'paster create helloworld' works finde, but its to hard for me
to start there lerning pylons.

Thanks,
Martin

Ben or others: do you know if there's actually a PasteScript==0.9.7
requirement in Pylons (or ==0.9.8, or anything so specific)? I'm
guessing not.

In this case /usr/local/bin/paster had been created using PasteScript
0.9.7. Then you installed a different version of PasteScript, but maybe
the paster script from that installation was put elsewhere, or maybe
there was a permission denied for writing that script. So the script
was bound to 0.9.7, and it wasn't around.

You might try: easy_install -U PasteScript

And make sure that /usr/local/bin/paster is overwritten as part of that;
if it's not something went wrong, or some installation configuration has
changed.

Thats wired... but I got it working. the paster script is in /usr/bin
here, but a /usr/local/bin/ paster script existed too. so now I removed
that and I'm using the /usr/bin one, and it works.

Thanks,
Martin
