This looks like a bug that was fixed about a year ago: the sandboxing
for os.open() (which is what the above appears to be calling) wouldn't
allow you to write files *anywhere*, even if it was under a safe
directory location.
That would explain why you don't get the problem, but the user does.
Check their setuptools version, using:
python -c from pkg_resources import require; print
require('setuptools')
The bug was fixed in 0.6c5, so anything older will have this problem
with anything that uses os.open() to write files.
Thanks!
Well, turns out I was premature on assuming this fixed the problem. The
user was originally using 0.6c3 but has since upgraded. Here's the
current output from your request as sent back by the user:
In [3]: pkg_resources.require(setuptools)
Out[3]: [setuptools 0.6c7 (/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages)]
The original user is still reproducibly getting the following error --
it appears to have moved to a different project, but otherwise seems the
same to me. In addition, one of our internal developers said he was
getting this on one of his machines earlier as well but he was able to
work around it by manually building the project in question and then
going back to using easy_install to install the rest of the dependencies
of the originally requested project. Most of us here are not seeing this
error so I'm thinking it isn't something obviously wrong with the
setup.py. You can look at the setup.py at :
https://svn.enthought.com/enthought/browser/tags/enthought.interpolate_2.0.0b3/setup.py
Note that this project does use numpy.distutils' setup function. Perhaps
the error has something to do with that?
Does anyone have any tips on how to go about debugging what might be
wrong? In particular, is there any way to get an idea of what the
particular file being opened actually represents?
