Tomaz Muraus commented on LIBCLOUD-351:
---------------------------------------
Yeah, PyPi can handle different archive formats (.bz2, .zip, .tar.gz).
I wasn't aware this was an issue until now. When pushing a next release, I will
also make sure to upload other archive types (.zip and .tar.gz).
> 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.
