--------------------------------
Summary: namespace collision in python bindings
Key: THRIFT-1984
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-1984
Project: Thrift
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Python - Library
Affects Versions: 0.9
Environment: *nix
Reporter: jonathan
Priority: Minor
There's a namespace collision in
1. Thrift Python bindings (
https://github.com/apache/thrift/blob/0.9.x/lib/py/setup.py )
2. FB303 Python bindings (
https://github.com/apache/thrift/blob/0.9.x/contrib/fb303/py/setup.py )
both claim the package name "thrift", leading one to overwrite the other ( at
least when the default egg behavior is enabled ) when you try to install both.
The ways to fix it are:
1. simple - change the 'name' in the fb303 `setup.py` to 'fb303' or
'thrift_fb303'
2. complex - have both use a Namespace Package (
http://pythonhosted.org/distribute/setuptools.html#namespace-packages )
i just used the simple fix locally. it works fine.
i'm not sure if the fb303 is actually used by anything anymore. the way the
repo is currently set though, it's not easy to install both packages.
