Hi All,
I've experiences problems when my package specifies a
setup_requires="PasteScript" in it's call to setuptools' setup function
when using buildout and my package is specified as a develop egg in the
buildout.
I was doing this to avoid the following:
/usr/local/lib/python2.6/distutils/dist.py:266: UserWarning: Unknown
distribution option: 'paster_plugins'
..but specifying setup_requires as above seems to:
- install the PasteScript and Paste eggs directory in the checkout of my
package under development (not ideal)
- trip up buildout into thinking that those packages are globally
available and so not install them (really bad...)
- cause zc.recipe.egg, as a result, to not install scripts from those
packages even when dependent-scripts is specified as true.
Worse still, because buildout doesn't seem to know much about those
packages, even when the setup_requires line is removed, the .egg folders
in the development checkout of my package still cause the above buildout
problems.
Has anyone else experienced this?
As far as I know zc.buildout is not capable of handling setup_requires
and test_requires (and hence the abuse of extra_requires for test
requirements).
Where's best to report this?
I suspect this has been in the zc.buildout for a long time already.
Wichert.
