#2098: tgsetup.py fails with AttributeError when .pydistutils.cfg has find_link
value
------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
Reporter: aji | Owner: faide
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone: 1.0.x bugfix
Component: TurboGears | Version: 1.0.8
Severity: normal | Keywords: tgsetup.py AttributeError
------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
If my system has a ~/.pydistutils.cfg file with a find_links attribute in
the [easy_install] section, then tgsetup.py will fail:
{{{

}}}
The existing find_links value is a string, but tgsetup.py assumes that it
is a list if it exists.
This patch will fix the error:
{{{
$ diff tgsetup.py.orig tgsetup.py

> # this elif fixes the AttributeError: 'str' object has no
attribute 'append' error
> elif isinstance(self.find_links, (str, unicode)):
> # encase string in list
> self.find_links = [self.find_links]
}}}
