Tell them they need a "real" enthought traits package. Then they can
use their package management to make it right.

This is of course assuming their package management has
enthought.traits, which by and large, it won't.

I am sympathetic to this view, but our recent experience has been that
getting enthought.traits to install properly even for matplotlib
developers took a fair amount of work and consultation with the
enthought dev team.


Ouch, was it really that hard? I don't remember it being that hard, but I am almost certainly forgetting something about the traits tweaks that were needed to get MatPlotLib built... maybe I didn't upgrade MPL after running into MPL build errors with traits. Hmm.

FWIW, here are the MacPorts for "standard" enthought traits that I cobbled up :

Attachment: enthought-traits-macports.tbz
Description: Binary data





Change the PortGroup value at the top of the Portfile from "PortGroup python25 apple" to "PortGroup python25 1.0" to use the MacPorts- installed Python.


Is there a MPL-tweaked distribution of enthought traits? I am sorry if I have misunderstood.
