please use the workaround to configure packages with --site-dirs. it's unfortunate that python-support chooses not to install in sys.path. ** Changed in: python-support (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: python-setuptools => python-support ** Changed in: python-support (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided

Aha, not so fast. We have two separate issues here, and neither one of them is resolved in Ubuntu: 1: python-nevow in Hardy puts the .egg-info file in the wrong place, and additionally setuptools fails to recognize that it is already installed, so 'easy_install' will redownload it. The most recent

Okay if you add "--site-dirs=/var/lib/python-support/python2.5" then this fixes this problem for both Nevow and simplejson on Hardy. PJE is investigating fixing this in a future release of setuptools. In the meantime, he suggests that it might be a good fix for Debian/Ubuntu to add the following

According to http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/issue17 the bug is "that easy_install does NOT search sys.path for a requirement that is specified on the command line; it only searches "site" directories for such". Therefore, any package which has a .egg-info which is not in the "site" directories

This would be a change just to the setuptools package -- it would not require any change to any of the affected packages. The change would be to have the setuptools package add the following to the system-wide distutils config file: [easy_install] site-dirs=/var/lib/python-support/python2.5 Pres
