Okay, folks, I confirmed that this was indeed because a package named
"elisa" was installed on the user's system, and I added this work-
around to my package's setup.py:
http://allmydata.org/trac/pycryptopp/browser/setup.py?rev=567#L146
146 try:
147 _setup(test_suite="pycryptopp.test")
148 except BaseException, le:
149 # to work around a bug in Elisa
150 if "test_suite must be a list" in str(le):
151 _setup(test_suite=["pycryptopp.test"])
This works on both my system (with setuptools 0.7 dev) and my user's
system (with setuptools 0.6c8 and elisa).
I will try to contact the authors of elisa.
Regards,
Zooko
