I got a report from a user that he couldn't install my software because he got the error message "test_suite must be a list".

However, the version of setuptools that I have here asserts that test_suite must be a string.

He showed me that he has setuptools 0.6c8 installed.

Googling for "test_suite must be a list" suggests that maybe the Elisa project released a setuptools plugin to do something for unit tests which made that assertion.

I asked the user if he had installed any Elisa packages and he thought not.

For the moment, I commented-out the test_suite argument from my call to setup() and uploaded an interim version of my software which doesn't run its tests when you tell it "./setup.py test". This is an unsatisfying solution.

Does anyone else have any knowledge of this problem?

Thanks!

Regards,

Zooko
