Under certain circumstances pip can uninstall distribute before trying to install it again, which fails because at that point distribute isn't installed. On Windows and on Python 3 the issue is worse due to 2to3 and file locking issues. Virtualenv is a more reliable way to upgrade distribute. ___ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig

This is annoying, and it seems the easiest way to solve it is to stop using 2to3 for distribute. This is a massive change though, and since the test coverage is dismal its' going to create loads of bugs. But perhaps we simply need to accept that. //Lennart ___ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig

[Distutils] distribute-0.6.35 fails on python 3.3?
Hi All, Can anyone else reproduce this? I have a Python 3.3 virtualenv and I wanted to upgrade one of the packages as follows: $ bin/pip install -U manuel Requirement already up-to-date: manuel in ./lib/python3.3/site-packages Downloading/unpacking distribute from http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/d/distribute/distribute-0.6.35.tar.gz#md5=e55298c7e3a233df1a47a4881a0c9800 (from manuel) Downloading distribute-0.6.35.tar.gz (644kB): 644kB downloaded Running setup.py egg_info for package distribute Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 3, in File "./setuptools/__init__.py", line 2, in from setuptools.extension import Extension, Library File "./setuptools/extension.py", line 5, in from setuptools.dist import _get_unpatched File "./setuptools/dist.py", line 103 except ValueError, e: ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info: Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 3, in File "./setuptools/__init__.py", line 2, in from setuptools.extension import Extension, Library File "./setuptools/extension.py", line 5, in from setuptools.dist import _get_unpatched File "./setuptools/dist.py", line 103 except ValueError, e: ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax Can other people reproduce this? When was that Python 3 incompatible except clause introduced? cheers.
