--- Begin Message ---Package: python-setuptools Version: 0.6.16-1 Severity: important Hi, when installing modules to a local location (--prefix=/usr/local) using python2.6, easy_install tries to install the module to: /usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages This dir doesn't exist, is created by e_i but is not in any .pth file so the output looks like this: ==== # easy_install-2.6 --prefix=/usr/local ComponentDependencyPlugin-0.1-py2.6.egg TEST FAILED: /usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages does NOT support .pth files error: bad install directory or PYTHONPATH You are attempting to install a package to a directory that is not on PYTHONPATH and which Python does not read ".pth" files from. The installation directory you specified (via --install-dir, --prefix, or the distutils default setting) was: /usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages and your PYTHONPATH environment variable currently contains: '' ...etc ==== According to the http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/python-policy/ch-python.html former "site-packages" has been replaced by "dist-packages" for python2.6+ and the dir: /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages is present and ready-waiting for installing modules (part of any .pth file already). One needs to run the following to go well: easy_install --prefix=/usr/local \ --install-dir=/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages \ ComponentDependencyPlugin-0.1-py2.6.egg Then the module is installed correctly and is directly importable.
