Hi,
I'm trying to debug a complex situazion in which a *nspkg.pth file creates a builtin package that brakes the import in a uwsgi process. In this case I'm still working with Python2.7. To be sure the package is correct I started with an "almost empty" one (whose content is shown below) and I have this strage behaviour: if I install using 'python setup.py install' everithing is ok, if I install with pip the namespace seems a builtin: root@argo-stretch:/tmp/jmb.vega# python setup.py install ... root@argo-stretch:/tmp/jmb.vega# python -c 'import jmb; print(jmb)' <module 'jmb' from '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/jmb.vega-0.1-py2.7.egg/jmb/__init__.pyc'> In this case the file 'jmb.vega-0.1-nspkg.pth' is NOT created and the egg is added to 'easy-install.pth' When doing the installation with pip root@argo-stretch:/tmp/jmb.vega# pip install . Processing /tmp/jmb.vega Requirement already satisfied: setuptools in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (from jmb.vega==0.1) Installing collected packages: jmb.vega Running setup.py install for jmb.vega ... done Successfully installed jmb.vega-0.1 the file 'jmb.tools-0.7-py2.7-nspkg.pth' is created and the modules seems a built-in root@argo-stretch:/tmp/jmb.vega# (cd ; python -c 'import jmb; print(jmb)') <module 'jmb' (built-in)> In the real case this is enought to break the import system of any call to namespace 'jmb'. the test package is jmb.vega/ ├── jmb │ ├── __init__.py │ └── vega │ └── __init__.py └── setup.py sandro@bluff:/tmp/jmb.vega$ cat setup.py from setuptools import setup, find_packages setup( name='jmb.vega', namespace_packages=['jmb'], version="0.1", description='Test package', author='Alessandro Dentella', packages=find_packages(exclude=['tests', 'tests.*']), platforms='any', zip_safe=False, install_requires=[ 'setuptools', ], ) While __init__ in jmb is: sandro@bluff:/tmp/jmb.vega$ cat jmb/__init__.py __import__('pkg_resources').declare_namespace(__name__) What's wrong with the configuration? Why pip makes it a builtin package? thanks in advance sandro *:-) -- Sandro Dentella *:-) http://trepalchi.it Il portale degli artisti http://www.reteisi.org Soluzioni libere per le scuole http://sqlkit.argolinux.org SQLkit home page - PyGTK/python/sqlalchemy _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
