Hi, One of our kind users pointed out an error when using easy_install to install our package nipy. I've reproduced it now on a bare package using numpy distutils and having a trivial extension:
https://github.com/matthew-brett/apkg To reproduce: git clone git://github.com/mathew-brett/apkg.git easy_install apkg You should get something like this: Processing apkg Running setup.py -q bdist_egg --dist-dir /home/mb312/tmp/apkg/egg-dist-tmp-T5yjuB Appending apkg configuration to Ignoring attempt to set 'name' (from '' to 'apkg') zip_safe flag not set; analyzing archive contents... Adding apkg 0.1 to easy-install.pth file Installed /home/mb312/.virtualenvs/np-1.6.2/lib/python2.6/site-packages/apkg-0.1-py2.6-linux-i686.egg Processing dependencies for apkg==0.1 Finished processing dependencies for apkg==0.1 /home/mb312/.virtualenvs/np-1.6.2/lib/python2.6/site-packages/numpy/distutils/misc_util.py:252: RuntimeWarning: Parent module 'numpy.distutils' not found while handling absolute import from numpy.distutils import log Note the last error. All of nipy, scikits-learn and scikits-timeseries (that use numpy distutils) give this same error on easy_install. The error requires the use of an extension in the package, as in: https://github.com/matthew-brett/apkg/blob/master/apkg/setup.py#L4 It appears to be benign but it certainly confuses people doing easy_install. This is running current numpy master, but the same occurs with numpy 1.5.1 that I have to hand. Any ideas what could be causing this?
