Your Python 2.5 installation is seriously messed up. Either that or a custom distutils.cfg, ~/.pydistutils.cfg, PYTHONPATH, site.py, sitecustomize,py, or .pth file is sending it the wrong way. I see "/usr/lib/" in the output so I gather you're on Unix or Mac. Did you use the standard OS packages for Python 2.5 and 2.4? Those packages are built to look only in their version-specific lib directory. You can install Setuptools itself by downloading it manually and running it as a script. As for Pylons and its dependencies, theoretically you can download all of them and "python setup.py install" them. But you'll find that many of them import setuptools/pkg_resources in their setup.py, and some of them even try to install it if it's not there (ez_setup.py). So there's no way to avoid setuptools unless you hack all those setup.py's. That would include deleting the setup() arguments that distutils doesn't understand. Oh, but then you wouldn't have entry points, and Paster depends on entry points. So you need Setuptools. -- Mike Orr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
