I'll try to write this objectively, but I want to add the disclaimer that I am beginning to be annoyed. So read the rest with a grain of salt... :)
I apologise in advance for the rant. I had a bad weekend, and this is the proverbial last straw. I'm sorry. A looooong time ago I started an application on TurboGears 0.7. The application was finished around the time when TG1.0 came out. It was still on 0.7 at that time I think. But I still maintain that application in my free time. I don't have issues often. But from time to time there's a small feature request, or small change to be made. But as you may imagine, ever since then I changed computers/laptops a few times in the mean-time. So from time to time I need to set up a new development environment. But I also learned a lot since I began that project. Since I started with it, we were blessed with wsgi, fabric and virtualenv. Because of that, I took the leap and upgraded to TG1.5, and properly documented, and automated the development process. I ran into trouble with (iirc) RuleDispatch with I needed to patch manually. Also, I remember having problems with pip and a requirements.txt. Additionally, you cannot run setup.py without having TG installed first which is annoying. So my first step is always "env/bin/pip install <pinned-tg-version>" Recently I had a disk-crash and need to rebuild my development environment today. And that last step failed... This is the error message I get: > Downloading/unpacking PEAK-Rules>=0.5a1.dev-r2555 (from turbogears==1.5.1) > Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement > PEAK-Rules>=0.5a1.dev-r2555 (from turbogears==1.5.1) > Some externally hosted files were ignored (use --allow-external > PEAK-Rules to allow). > Cleaning up... > No distributions at all found for PEAK-Rules>=0.5a1.dev-r2555 (from > turbogears==1.5.1) I tried with "--allow-external PEAK-Rules" without any luck. It seems PEAK has removed that package? What would you suggest to make this easier? I will likely manage somehow to get this fixed. But I am fed up with battling the development environment every time I want to come back and do some work on that project. I want to focus on the code, not play tug-of-war with the TG dependencies... I want to be able to simply "pip install" things. Even with older versions... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
