Release 15.07.0

[Jim Easterbrook]

Friends,


This morning I uploaded 'snapshot' release 15.07.0 to PyPI:
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pywws/

From a user point of view this doesn't change much. It adds a couple of
new features: multiple media in Twitter messages and date & time in wind
rose (and plot) titles.

As before, if upgrading from any version before 14.02.dev1143 you must
run pywws-reprocess with the -u option to re-interpret your old raw
data. I advise backing up your raw data before doing this.

Good evening, did the pip upgrade, now I have a distribution not found on pytz (which is installed). Any ideas?

Regards,
Joakim

Was pytz installed with pip? Does it show in the output of 'pip list'?

[Joakim Thulin]

Yes, Pytz was installed with pip, Pytz is listed with pip list. But pip list also raise an error message "warning: can not find svn location for distribute===0.6.24" and another message with insecureplatformwarning

My list (on a Pi) is similar to that, but a bit longer. On my desktop
machine the versions are very different and there's no distribute at
all. The problem seems to be related to pkg_resources, which is part of
pip/setuptools.

I just tried doing a minimal pip install of pywws in a virtual
environment (see
http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/dev/virtualenvs/) on my Pi and it
works fine. Output of 'pip list' is as follows:

(venv)jim@firefly ~/weather/pywws $ pip list
libusb1 (1.4.0)
pip (7.1.0)
pytz (2015.4)
pywws (15.7.0)
setuptools (18.0.1)
tzlocal (1.2)
wheel (0.24.0)

I suggest upgrading setuptools first (sudo pip install -U setuptools),
then you should be able to remove distribute (sudo pip uninstall
distribute). Don't uninstall distribute until setuptools has been
upgraded or pip will stop working.

You nailed it, thanks a lot!
