pip installation is broken

[generalov]

Hello! I want to install PyPubSub with pip:

$ virtualenv python --system-site-packages

$ . python/bin/activate

$ pip --version

pip 1.5.4 from /tmp/q/python/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages (python 2.7)

$ python --version

Python 2.7.6

$ pip install pypubsub

Downloading/unpacking pypubsub

  Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement pypubsub

  Some externally hosted files were ignored (use --allow-external pypubsub to allow).

Cleaning up...

No distributions at all found for pypubsub

Storing debug log for failure in /home/lucky/.pip/pip.log

I added the --allow-all-external argument:

$ pip install --allow-all-external pypubsub

Downloading/unpacking pypubsub

  pypubsub an externally hosted file and may be unreliable

  Downloading PyPubSub-3.2.0.zip (78kB): 78kB downloaded

1. Version is 3.2.0 is outdated. Current version is 3.3.0

2. Installation is broken

I can install package 3.3.0 with direct link:

$ pip install http://downloads.sf.net/project/pubsub/pubsub/3.3.0/PyPubSub-3.3.0.zip

Hi Generalov, thanks for posting the issue re pip installation. It is fixed now: I keep forgetting that pypi requires the "direct link" rather than the "download link" (which shows a temporary add page). I was able to do "pip install --allow-external pypubsub pypubsub". Please let us know that it works (or not!) for you now. The requirement for allowing external is recent, I didn't use to have to do this, I do recall pypi notification about this though so I guess the pypi devs have finally implemented this. I will have to update the docs sometime.
