I am attaching a thread I started privately with Ian. The question is multi-part and somewhat complicated so please be patient.
Background: I am running python2.5.1, the system python, i.e., default on Leopard: /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/bin/ python2.5 I have installed virtualenv via easy_install. I use virtualenv where an entry point was setup in /usr/local/bin/ virtualenv to create a separate virtualenv. This is the buffer from my terminal: (note I use virtualenv to create a groknoahgift virtual env and then run easy_install grokproject egg from there). > The main problem I have is this traceback: > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:10944][J:0]> virtualenv groknoahgift > New python executable in groknoahgift/bin/python > Installing setuptools............done. > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:10945][J:0]> groknoahgift > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:10946][J:0]> ll > total 0 > drwxr-xr-x 7 ngift staff 238 Jan 3 09:46 bin > drwxr-xr-x 3 ngift staff 102 Jan 3 09:46 lib > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:10947][J:0]> bin/easy_install grokproject > Searching for grokproject > Best match: grokproject 0.6 > Processing grokproject-0.6-py2.5.egg > Adding grokproject 0.6 to easy-install.pth file > Installing grokproject script to /Users/ngift/src/groknoahgift/bin > Using /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/grokproject-0.6-py2.5.egg > Processing dependencies for grokproject > Finished processing dependencies for grokproject > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:10948][J:0]> pwd > /Users/ngift/src/groknoahgift > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:10949][J:0]> ll > total 0 > drwxr-xr-x 8 ngift staff 272 Jan 3 09:46 bin > drwxr-xr-x 3 ngift staff 102 Jan 3 09:46 lib > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:10950][J:0]> bin/grokproject noahgift > Traceback (most recent call last): > File "bin/grokproject", line 5, in <module> > from pkg_resources import load_entry_point > File "build/bdist.linux-i686/egg/pkg_resources.py", line 2561, in > <module> > File "build/bdist.linux-i686/egg/pkg_resources.py", line 626, in > require > File "build/bdist.linux-i686/egg/pkg_resources.py", line 524, in > resolve > pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: PasteScript>=1.3 In trying to track down this problem, I then realized that for Grok, I need to use python2.4.4, so I did this to get around the problem, as Ian suggested: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:10996][J:0]> curl http://svn.colorstudy.com/virtualenv/trunk/virtualenv.py > virtualenv-2.4 % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 100 35516 100 35516 0 0 45505 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 80395 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:10997][J:0]> python2.4 virtualenv-2.4 src/py24ENV New python executable in src/py24ENV/bin/python Installing setuptools.................done. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:10998][J:0]> cd src/py24ENV [EMAIL PROTECTED]:10999][J:0]> bin/easy_install grokproject Question: Does it make sense two follow the easy-install example and make an entrypoint that corresponds to the python path? _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
