Thank you, I now know that the problem is happening before the setuptools that ez_setup.py downloads installs the egg it creates. I would like to have enough information that I have a chance to recreate the problem.
1) What OS and distribution 2) What version of mercurial is installed? 3) Is python-setuptools installed? 4) What other python packages are installed? While I can understand why you went ahead with the kludge around to "Just make it work," I'd rather find out if it's a bug in setuptools, a bug in setuptools-hg, or something completely unexpected. Plus I'm somewhat obsessed because to get these kinds on inconsistencies 6 years ago I had to use software billed as Enterprise :-). Unfortunately, the only breakage I can reproduce every time right now is if I grab the last version on subversion with subversion 1.6, and run 'setup.py install' On Aug 12, 8:04 pm, Pranav <[email protected]> wrote: > thanks for the fast response. > > I dont have an older install - my first time installing satchmo. > > So the first theory you provided doesnt apply. > > the 2nd theory, I went into the clone created and unzipped the dist/ > *.egg file -- there was a tax directory in there -- but only > subfolders of tax were modules and templatetags - no data directory > was present. > > thanks, > pranav > > On Aug 12, 7:49 pm, C <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Pranav, > > If you'd looked through you'd know that it has been discussed in some > > detail. > > And yes, I reproduced something similar a week or so ago when I had > > garbage left from an earlier install of Satchmo 0.9pre scattered all > > over site-packages. > > > Due to the switch from subversion to mercurial there seems to be some > > confusion between the subversion trunk (Old, deprecated, and probably > > won't install data files correctly if retrieved with subversion 1.6.x) > > and the mercurial tip.
