New submission from mbogosian <[email protected]>:
Perhaps I have misunderstood the intended behavior, but I thought one should be
able to do this:
- - - - - - - - %< - - - - - - - -
% easy_install BeautifulSoup==3.0.8
...
% easy_install -U BeautifulSoup
[installs 3.1.0.1]
...
% python -c 'import pkg_resources ; print
pkg_resources.require("BeautifulSoup==3.0.8")'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File ".../site-packages/distribute-0.6.10-py2.5.egg/pkg_resources.py", line
648, in require
needed = self.resolve(parse_requirements(requirements))
File ".../site-packages/distribute-0.6.10-py2.5.egg/pkg_resources.py", line
550, in resolve
raise VersionConflict(dist,req) # XXX put more info here
pkg_resources.VersionConflict: (BeautifulSoup 3.1.0.1
(.../site-packages/BeautifulSoup-3.1.0.1-py2.5.egg),
Requirement.parse('BeautifulSoup==3.0.8'))
- - - - - - - - >% - - - - - - - -
If I use the '-m' tag (to keep it out of easy_install.pth), I have a different
problem:
- - - - - - - - %< - - - - - - - -
% easy_install -m BeautifulSoup==3.0.8
...
% easy_install -U -m BeautifulSoup
[installs 3.1.0.1]
...
% python -c 'import pkg_resources ; print
pkg_resources.require("BeautifulSoup==3.0.8")'
[BeautifulSoup 3.0.8 (.../site-packages/BeautifulSoup-3.0.8-py2.5.egg)]
% python -c 'import BeautifulSoup'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named BeautifulSoup
- - - - - - - - >% - - - - - - - -
Can I not have my cake and eat it too? Meaning, can I not have multiple
installed versions of a package with a default (i.e., an entry in
easy-install.pth), but still be able to explicitly specify a previously
installed version?

is present in easy-install.pth
