-------------------------------------
Summary: pypi package dependency on bz2
Key: LIBCLOUD-351
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LIBCLOUD-351
Project: Libcloud
Issue Type: Wish
Affects Versions: 0.12.3
Environment: python 2.7
Reporter: Andre Merzky
Priority: Trivial
It seems you have uploaded the release version to PyPi in BZ2 format, so if you
do a 'pip install apache-libcloud', you need a Python version with bz2 support.
There is in itself nothing wrong with that, of course -- but it happens to be
the case that for a large portion of (our) machines, bz2 support is not by
default available, and is not built as automated dependency -- install thus
fails with
```
CompressionError: bz2 module is not available`
```
I am not sure if/how PyPi can handle different package types, but it would be
great (for us and our users) if the bz2 dependency could be avoided.
