First of all, these warnings are harmless in the sense that everything will work even though they are being spit out. I agree they are ugly though, and we should try and get rid of them. The problem is that vsc-base was split up recently, into what vsc-base is now and vsc-install, which provides support for installing/testing vsc-* packages. This implies that the 'vsc' namespace is spread across two different directories now, and that "import vsc" in Python will result in reading vsc/__init__.py from two different places. Python (or setuptools?) thinks this is weird, and throws the warnings. Same applies to the 'easybuild' namespace, which is imported from two locations (framework & easyblocks). This is a well known issue, and there are workaround to just silence the warning [1,2], but that's probably not the best way to 'fix' this issue. We're actually getting it too on our systems, but not consistently, it depends on how you install EasyBuild (an I *think* also on the version of setuptools, but I'm not sure about that). I've opened an issue on this in the EasyBuild framework repository on GitHub [3], and tagged it to try and fix this by the next EasyBuild release. regards, Kenneth [1] http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7239518/module-pytz-was-already-imported [2] http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3861336/how-do-you-correct-module-already-loaded-userwarnings-in-python [3] https://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-framework/issues/1588
