Yes. The remaining question though is why did he have the older version installed? It sounds like there's a version mismatch somewhere between what's auto-installed and what's required. (And I really wish the exception would tell you who's requiring the version. Clearly Setuptools does not depend on simplejson, nor PasteScript. PasteScript is merely loading a requirement that was specified elsewhere, but where? It may be because he has the older version installed in his global site-packages for some reason. But still, installing Pylons should have installed the newer version if it's in fact necessary. But there's sometimes a problem with versions in the global site-packages being activated before the other version is required, thus preventing the other version from being activated (or at least you get a warning from Setuptools). Those are issue that Pylons/virtualenv may not be able to solve because they don't have total control of the system. (In which case you may have to use ``--no-site-packages``.) The other issue is, there was a problem installing simplejson 1.8 on Windows, and Python briefly depended on the later version and then went back to the earlier. Maybe now it's depending on the later version again, and that might cause various problems on Windows. -- Mike Orr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
