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former "site-packages" has been replaced by "dist-packages" for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.
Thanks,
Rene Pavlik
