I'd be interested in working on making installation simpler. I should note that OpenGeo currently has a contract to work on Ubuntu packages for GeoNode, which should simplify the installation process considerably for that platform. However, since customized GeoNodes will (hopefully) be common I think the "from-scratch" install should be as easy as possible as well. I tested the upload with my vector set, and it works fine locally.

ReportLab, which we have discussed using for some map reports, also uses PIL. So, all our usage of PIL is in libraries that aren't maintained by the GeoNode project. I think there is some interest in having a GeoNode variant that is Jython-compatible, which is the only reasonable way I see us replacing PIL with JAI for this purpose. (I am also aware of JPype<http://jpype.sourceforge.net/>, but I think that using that would actually worsen the installation story, while still requiring us to modify code.) If you are interested in working or funding work on a Jython port of GeoNode let me know, I can help you assess what's keeping GeoNode from running on Jython as-is. -- David Winslow OpenGeo - http://opengeo.org/ Guido > > > >-- Original Message -- > >Date: Fri, 29 Oct 2010 09:02:22 -0400 > >From: David Winslow <[email protected]> > >Reply-To: [email protected] > >Subject: Re: [geonode] Error installing GeoNode from source > >To: [email protected] > > > > > >I haven't looked very hard but I can't find any information about the > >removal of urlgrabber from the python package repository.
