problem with setuptools version in SVN 398
Michael Schneider
I just did a SVN up to pick the changes today (successful for TG and
3rd parties).
I then did a setup.py and go
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Setup: windows 32 bit XP (fully patched)
python 2.4.2
At revision 398.
E:\pythonpkgs\turbogears_svn\turbogears>setup.py install
The required version of setuptools (>=0.6a9dev_r41815) is not
available, and
can't be installed while this script is running. Please install
a more recent version first.
E:\pythonpkgs\turbogears_svn\turbogears>

setuptools. Download the ez_setup.py script from
http://www.turbogears.org/download/ez_setup.py and place it in a
directory that is not in the TG code tree (anywhere else is fine). Run
the script using the following command:
ez_setup.py -U setuptools
After successfully upgrading setuptools, re-run the TG "setup.py
install" command.

Note that when you have an svn checkout, the same ez_setup.py is right
at the top of the trunk (next to setup.py). So, you can run the
command from right there.

Thanks for the tips,
I did an svn up to pick up anything new, and then tried the ex_setup.py
-U setuptools,
and got the following error.
I can clean everything out of my install if that would help.
Thanks

gave me problems (I'm on WinXP), so I copied ez_setup.py to a different
directory and everything worked fine. Try copying ez_setup.py to
another directory (perhaps E:\pythonpkgs in your case) and run
"ez_setup.py -U setuptools" from there.

Thanks for the tip, I copied ez_setup.py into a clean directory, and
ran
with the same error.
I deleted setuptools from my python install, and had the same problem.
I am open to any additional tricks to try :-)
Thanks

ez_setup is fetching, one will notice the duplicated filename. The
source of the problem is the following lines in ez_setup.py:
(line 18, notice included file name)
DEFAULT_URL =
"http://www.turbogears.org/download/eggs/setuptools-0.6a9dev_r41815-py2.4.egg"
Along with the following later on in download_setuptools():
def download_setuptools(
version=DEFAULT_VERSION, download_base=DEFAULT_URL,
to_dir=os.curdir,
delay = 15
):
"""Download setuptools from a specified location and return its
filename
`version` should be a valid setuptools version number that is
available
as an egg for download under the `download_base` URL (which should
end
with a '/'). `to_dir` is the directory where the egg will be
downloaded.
`delay` is the number of seconds to pause before an actual download
attempt.
"""
import urllib2, shutil
egg_name = "setuptools-%s-py%s.egg" % (version,sys.version[:3])
url = download_base + egg_name # ************** Problem here
As the docstring tells us, it seems the DEFAULT_URL is at fault, though
to be honest I know nothing about setuptools. I merely changed the line
to
url = download_base
to fix the problem temporarily.

DEFAULT_URL =
"http://www.turbogears.org/download/eggs/setuptools-0.6a9dev_r41815-py2.4.egg"
to
DEFAULT_URL = "http://www.turbogears.org/download/eggs/"
The egg URL is getting mangled with that extra information and is
preventing the installation from taking place (the URL becomes
http://www.turbogears.org/download/eggs/setuptools-0.6a9dev_r41815-py2.4.eggsetuptools-0.6a9dev_r41815-py2.4.egg
instead of
http://www.turbogears.org/download/eggs/setuptools-0.6a9dev_r41815-py2.4.egg
in the original code).
Michael Schneider
Your workaround worked for me.
Thanks

pushed it out.
From what Phillip has told me in the past, it seems like you can run
ez_setup.py setuptools even from within a TurboGears directory. You
just couldn't run ez_setup.py TurboGears because there would be
confusion about what setuptools sees in the current directory.
Let me know how this fixed ez_setup works for you all.

Your ticket reports a problem in r402, but 402 is the one that I just
checked in a short bit ago with Sean De La Torre's suggested fix for
ez_setup. Sean's fix *looked* correct.
I just tried 402's ez_setup (from the turbogears directory) on my
Windows machine and it worked fine.
python ez_setup.py setuptools
was the command line I used...
