Comment #10 on issue 66 by danhomerick: cannot install using easy_install
http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/issues/detail?id=66
I think what's going on is:
1. easy_install is finding that egg at pypi.python.org is out of date
(v2.0.3) as
compared to the main download page (v2.3.0) and chooses the most current
version.
2. easy_install doesn't exhaustively search the protobuf-2.3.0.zip file and
so is not
finding the setup.py file residing in the python subfolder.
I think the simplest fix is would be to keep pypi up to date with each new
release.
Alternatively, maybe you could move setup.py to reside in the top level?
Could you try the following from protobuf-2.3.0/python:
python setup.py bdist_egg upload
This will update egg at PyPi with a current version. Note that users who use
easy_install to get the egg will only get the python files, and won't get
protoc. In
my case, I want easy_install to grab protobuf as a dependency and thus
don't need it
to install protoc anyways. I think it's possible to change setup.py so that
the egg
will include protoc (and any other files desired) but they'll reside in the
egg.
