Hi, I got some error messages when using ez_setup to download and use the easy_install.
# setup.py from ez_setup import use_setuptools use_setuptools() from setuptools import setup setup(name = "blabla", test_suite = "some_test", namespace_package = ["some_namespace"], # many other options ) It can download the setuptools-0.6c9-py2.6.egg file correctly, but when I run "python setup.py test" it complains: /usr/lib/python2.6/distutils/dist.py:266: UserWarning: Unknown distribution option: 'namespace_packages' warnings.warn(msg) /usr/lib/python2.6/distutils/dist.py:266: UserWarning: Unknown distribution option: 'test_suite' warnings.warn(msg) usage: setup.py [global_opts] cmd1 [cmd1_opts] [cmd2 [cmd2_opts] ...] or: setup.py --help [cmd1 cmd2 ...] or: setup.py --help-commands or: setup.py cmd --help error: invalid command 'test' It seems the easy_install egg isn't used, and the "setup" is just from the built-in distutil. I did several things: 1) update the ez_setup.py but the only difference is it downloads the c11 egg, which doesn't work either. 2) unzip the egg to the current directory. "python setup.py test" passed... 3) install the easy_install. "python setup.py test" passed... 4) unzip the egg to the current directory, remove other files but only reserve pkg_resources.py and the egg. "python setup.py test" passed.. So I guess there might be some import problem in my machine (ubuntu lucid) that the pkg_resources.py cannot be loaded from the egg? Thanks, Pherl
