I am trying to install PyTables with easy_install. It doesn't work out of the box:
""" $ easy_install tables Searching for tables Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/tables/ Reading http://www.pytables.org/ No local packages or download links found for tables error: Could not find suitable distribution for Requirement.parse('tables') """ I think this may be because of the issue described in <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2007-December/008525.html>--the tarball does not have the name that would be produced by python setup.py sdist (tables-2.0.4.tar.gz). Would you consider changing the name of this file, or at the least, creating a symlink with the distutils-approved name, and re-registering it on PyPI? Yes, this means that my previous suggested resolution at <http://www.pytables.org/trac/ticket/112> did not work. Sorry about that. Of course, the installation still wouldn't work out of the box if you don't already have numpy installed: """ $ easy_install http://www.pytables.org/download/stable/pytables-2.0.4.tar.gz Downloading http://www.pytables.org/download/stable/pytables-2.0.4.tar.gz Processing pytables-2.0.4.tar.gz Running pytables-2.0.4/setup.py -q bdist_egg --dist-dir /tmp/easy_install-vTrKCt/pytables-2.0.4/egg-dist-tmp-bAjQNk .. ERROR:: Can't find a local numpy Python installation. Please read carefully the ``README`` file and remember that PyTables needs the numpy package to compile and run. error: Setup script exited with 1 """ But this would at least be a helpful step, because if you install numpy, PyTables will work with "easy_install http://www.pytables.org/download/stable/pytables-2.0.4.tar.gz"; (I just tested it). As an aside, it seems I can't submit new tickets to Trac either. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Pytables-users mailing list Pytables-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pytables-users
