I knew you were going to say that :) I was actually struggling a bit
early this morning trying to figure out exactly how it works. I was
hoping I wouldn't have to actually give a traceback and reveal a
stupid mistake :)
My, for now, build cycle, until I automate it, is that I create a
build/lib directory:
Step 1:
mkdir -p build/lib
Step 2:
Place script inside of build/lib
cp script.py build/lib
Step 3:
In current directory run:
python2.4 ./setup.py bdist_rpm --binary-only --release=py24 --python=/
usr/local/bin/python2.4
Step 4:
Grab rpm out of newly created dist directory:
This process works just fine if I substitute:
python2.4 ./setup.py bdist_egg
In my setup.py I have an entry point as follows:
entry_points="""
[console_scripts]
liten = liten:main
""",
)
I can easy install a python2.4 or a python 2.5 egg without a glitch,
but when I install the rpm I created I am able to run my script, but I
get this traceback:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ liten
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/liten", line 7, in ?
sys.exit(
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c7-py2.4.egg/
pkg_resources.py", line 277, in load_entry_point
return get_distribution(dist).load_entry_point(group, name)
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c7-py2.4.egg/
pkg_resources.py", line 2179, in load_entry_point
return ep.load()
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c7-py2.4.egg/
pkg_resources.py", line 1912, in load
entry = __import__(self.module_name, globals(),globals(),
['__name__'])
ImportError: No module named liten
My guess is that somehow I am not creating the RPM properly, and I
need to have a different directly structure then when creating an egg?
Thanks,
Noah
