Buildout fails with syntax error.

[Nick May]

I'm trying to install Tardis using my salt scripts. However, the buildout fails with the error below.

My repository is branched from develop's latest commit (e6ffa36de4) and this install was working just two weeks ago.

Any ideas?

------------------------------------------------------------------

  File "/tmp/easy_install-9hLLJd/compare-0.2b/setup.py", line 1

    import os

             ^

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

While:

  Installing django.

  Getting distribution for 'compare'.

Error: Couldn't install: compare 0.2b

This version of compare must be broken. You have to set the version to a previous one in the versions section of the buildout.cfg file.

Nope. Can't find the previous version.
Manual install via easy_install works, but more packages give similar errors.
Could this be a problem with setuptools?

The bug is in setuptools version 5.4.
I set buildout.cfg to use 5.3 and it worked.

Hi Nick

I was going to suggest setuptools as well. I'm glad you already found the problem there.

Cheers
