Hi Lukas, Here is some update: I replace the setuptools with a new one and reran "python setup.py install". I have attached the output below. Everything looks great. But after the installation, when I execute /mnt/us/avocado/scripts/avocado, there is still not options for valid subcommands: [root@kindle scripts]# python avocado run *** subcommands: valid subcommands
{} subcommand help
avocado: error: argument subcommand: invalid choice: 'run' (choose from )
Thanks,
Junchao
