I've pasted the output here: http://pastebin.com/1it5XPAL
Hopefully you can make sense of the output.
Yep. The issue isn't with installation-time dependencies, it's
build-time dependencies -- that's why I was confused.
There was a change to how build-time dependencies are handled,
specifically intended to fix a different issue with Paste,
PasteScript, and PasteDeploy's dependencies on each other.
My guess is that if you put eggs for those three packages in your
third-party directory, the problem (or at least the problem with
those three) would go away.
I do have these three .tar.gz files in my thirdparty/ directory. Do
you mean I should try using the eggs instead and that would fix the
problem because they won't need to be built, only installed?
Yes. Install-time dependency behavior didn't change between c9 and
c11, and always should've worked.
However, I'll see if there's a way for "child" easy_install runs
(as used for build-time dependencies) to inherit the parent's
settings for things like --find-links, --index-url, and
--allow-hosts (but not options that would interfere with the child
install's options.
A word of caution: I imagine there are use-cases where this is not
the desired behavior. That is, in some cases, perhaps it is
desirable that the dependencies do *not* inherit the command line
and setup.cfg settings from the parent?
I'm only referring to the options that control the locating of
dependencies for the easy_install command, so that build-time
dependencies are found from the same place as install-time
dependencies, during a subordinate build step. That's a pretty
narrow range of options and conditions. And the --find-links entries
will be merged with the parent's. --index-url and --allow-hosts, on
the other hand, should always be the parent's settings, and it's
arguably a bug that they're not already being honored.
(Apparently, not enough packages are using build-time dependencies
for the problem to have been noticed and reported before now.)
