This discussion was prompted, for me, by this bug report <URL:https://alioth.debian.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=314948&group_id=100328&atid=413098>. Can someone please inspect the log output from Pip and help me understand why an unrelated package is breaking when installing ‘python-daemon’ 2.0.3? The ‘python-daemon’ 2.0.3 distribution declares ‘docutils’ as a dependency with ‘setup_requires’ and ‘install_requires’. So it's expected that asking Pip to install ‘python-daemon’ will attempt to install ‘docutils’. But why does the dependency install of ‘docutils’ then fail with:: ===== Downloading/unpacking docutils (from python-daemon) […] Downloading from URL https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/d/docutils/docutils-0.12.tar.gz#md5=4622263b62c5c771c03502afa3157768 (from https://pypi.python.org/simple/docutils/) Running setup.py (path:/home/pwj/.virtualenvs/venv/build/docutils/setup.py) egg_info for package docutils […] Installing collected packages: python-daemon, lockfile, docutils Running setup.py install for docutils Running command /home/pwj/.virtualenvs/venv/bin/python -c "import setuptools, tokenize;__file__='/home/pwj/.virtualenvs/venv/build/docutils/setup.py';exec(compile(getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(__file__).read().replace('\r\n', '\n'), __file__, 'exec'))" install --record /tmp/pip-7iBtrf-record/install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile --install-headers /home/pwj/.virtualenvs/venv/include/site/python2.7 […] Running docutils-0.12/setup.py -q bdist_egg --dist-dir /tmp/easy_install-XO8spm/docutils-0.12/egg-dist-tmp-0EsqLD Traceback (most recent call last): […] File "/home/pwj/.virtualenvs/venv/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 2147, in load ['__name__']) ImportError: No module named version ===== Why on earth would the presence of ‘version.py’ in this distribution cause the install of ‘docutils’ to fail? Or is some other correlation going on? I have had other reports that subsequent attempts to install packages also fail with the same error. -- \ “The fact that I have no remedy for all the sorrows of the | `\ world is no reason for my accepting yours.
