Buildout itself does not require a newer version of setuptools, 0.6c11 is enough. But the init command bootstraps a new buildout by downloading the newest version of distribute and this fails. This started happening when setuptools/distribute merged and setuptools 0.7 was released.
buildout init only creates an empty buildout.cfg file. It's not very useful. The recommended way is to write the buildout.cfg, create a virtualenv and bootstrap a self-contained buildout: virtualenv sandbox wget http://downloads.buildout.org/1/bootstrap.py python bootstrap.py bin/buildout I never use the system buildout. 2013/12/17 Ryan Nowakowski <[email protected]> > Package: python-zc.buildout > Version: 1.5.2-1 > Severity: normal > > It seems that buildout 1.5.2 requires setuptools>=0.7 which is not is > wheezy: > > tubaman@cuisine:~/myproj$ buildout2.7 init > Creating '/home/tubaman/myproj/buildout.cfg'. > Creating directory '/home/tubaman/myproj/bin'. > Creating directory '/home/tubaman/myproj/parts'. > Creating directory '/home/tubaman/myproj/eggs'. > Creating directory '/home/tubaman/myproj/develop-eggs'. > Getting distribution for 'distribute'. > warning: install_lib: 'build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.7' does not exist -- no > Python modules to install > > Got distribute 0.7.3. > Getting distribution for 'zc.buildout'. > Got zc.buildout 2.2.1. > While: > Bootstrapping. > > An internal error occurred due to a bug in either zc.buildout or in a > recipe being used: > Traceback (most recent call last): > File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/zc/buildout/buildout.py", line > 1805, in main > getattr(buildout, command)(args) > File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/zc/buildout/buildout.py", line > 393, in bootstrap > ws.require('zc.buildout') > File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 686, in > require > needed = self.resolve(parse_requirements(requirements)) > File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 584, in > resolve > raise DistributionNotFound(req) > DistributionNotFound: setuptools>=0.7 > tubaman@cuisine:~/myproj$ > > -- System Information: > Debian Release: 7.2 > APT prefers stable-updates > APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') > Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) > Foreign Architectures: i386 > > Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) > Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) > Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash > > Versions of packages python-zc.buildout depends on: > ii python 2.7.3-4+deb7u1 > ii python-pkg-resources 0.6.24-1 > ii python2.6 2.6.8-1.1 > ii python2.7 2.7.3-6 > > python-zc.buildout recommends no packages. > > python-zc.buildout suggests no packages. > > -- no debconf information > > _______________________________________________ > pkg-zope-developers mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-zope-developers > -- Gediminas
