Scott Trotter created CLOUDSTACK-7332:
-----------------------------------------
Summary: CloudMonkey setup.py undefined variable 'requires'
Key: CLOUDSTACK-7332
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-7332
Project: CloudStack
Issue Type: Bug
Security Level: Public (Anyone can view this level - this is the default.)
Components: Cloudmonkey
Environment: Windows 8.1, cmd.exe, python 2.7.8, pip 1.5.6
Reporter: Scott Trotter
Priority: Minor
I'm setting up a Windows system to see how effective (or not) it is for FOSS
development. I installed the following components, in order, one right after
another, using cmd.exe CLI, not PowerShell or Git Bash:
Github for Windows 2.2.0.0
Python (x64) 2.7.8
ez_setup.py
get-pip.py
pip install cloudmonkey
The latter resulted in the following error, which I copied from pip.log:
File "e:\temp\pip_build_Scott\cloudmonkey\setup.py", line 32, in <module>
requires.append('readline')
NameError: name 'requires' is not defined
I downloaded apache-cloudstack-cloudmonkey-5.1.0-src.tar.bz2 and unpacked it
manually. Here is the problem area, starting with line 29:
try:
import readline
except ImportError:
requires.append('readline')
This test FAILED on my system, but I'm guessing that it typically doesn't fail
on others because readline is typically already installed by the time someone
tries to install CloudMonkey.
I also poked around in the repo, and it's easy to see how this bug got
introduced. In the last commit on Mar. 19, 2013, the maintainer changed the way
that required modules are handled, in part by removing the 'requires' variable,
but missed the try/except clause shown above. It probably remained undiscovered
this long due to my unusual installation sequence.
This should be very simple to fix. I have pip.log if you need it, but I don't
see any way to attach files in this report form. I can email it to you if you
want.
