I am building a turbogears project application.
My setup.py looked something like this:
==============================================================
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
try:
from setuptools import setup, find_packages
except ImportError:
from ez_setup import use_setuptools
use_setuptools()
from setuptools import setup, find_packages
setup(
name='appname',
version='0.1',
description='',

author_email='',
#url='',
install_requires=[
#kb start
"SQLAlchemy >= 0.6",

#kb stop
],
setup_requires=["PasteScript >= 1.7"],
paster_plugins=['PasteScript', 'Pylons', 'TurboGears2',
'tg.devtools'],
packages=find_packages(exclude=['ez_setup']),
include_package_data=True,
test_suite='nose.collector',
tests_require=['WebTest', 'BeautifulSoup'],
package_data={'pylotengine': ['i18n/*/LC_MESSAGES/*.mo',
'templates/*/*',
'public/*/*']},
message_extractors={'pylotengine': [
('**.py', 'python', None),
('templates/**.mako', 'mako', None),
('templates/**.html', 'genshi', None),
('public/**', 'ignore', None)]},
entry_points="""
[paste.app_factory]
main = pylotengine.config.middleware:make_app
[paste.app_install]
main = pylons.util:PylonsInstaller
""",
)
==============================================================
Because I want a consistent platform, I save all eggs/tars in a
thirdparty/ directory and when someone runs "python setup.py install"
or "python setup.py develop" with the above file, I wish for
dependencies to be taken *only* from my ../../thirdparty folder, and
*not* fetched from the internet.
This guarantees no updated thirdparty dependency will be the sole
cause of something breaking that was working.
To accomplish this, with version c9, I added the following lines to
setup.cfg:
-------------------------------------------
[easy_install]
find_links = ../../thirdparty
-------------------------------------------
This used to work until I upgrade setuptools to version c11. Now,
when a dependency (for example, "tg.devtools >= 2.0.1", from the above
'install_requires' list) is being installed, it has its own
dependencies, such as
install_requirements = [
'TurboGears2 >= 2.0.1',
'sqlalchemy-migrate >= 0.5.1',
'SQLAlchemy >= 0.5',
'repoze.what-quickstart >= 1.0',
'repoze.who >= 1.0.10'
]
and each of these can have their own requirements.
setuptools used to pass my find_links = ../../thirdparty command down
to all these dependencies and their dependencies, such that when
looking for 'repoze.who >= 1.0.10' (a dependency listed above, for my
"tg.devtools >= 2.0.1" dependency), easy_setup would know to look in
"../../thirdparty".
In c11, it no longer seems to pass this "find_links = ../../
thirdparty" along to dependencies to search for their dependencies.
Now, I've worked around this by placing code in my setup.py that
dynamically creates and deletes a '~/.pydistutils.cfg' file. I
discovered that what I really wanted was 'index_url' instead of
'find_links', so my '~/.pydistutils.cfg' looks like this:
[easy_install]
index_url = <absolute path to thirdparty/ directory>
allow_hosts = None
This seems to work for me, but I was struggling trying to understand
a) why this changed and b) why I couldn't find anyone else complaining
that it changed.
Is there a better way to accomplish this? While dynamically creating
a ~/.pydistutils.cfg file works, it seems idealistically the wrong
approach...
Thanks for your help.
