Summary: Help Python setuptools find modules from libtpproto-py
Initial Comment:
When I was creating ebuilds for Gentoo I stumbled upon a problem where
libtpclient-py couldn't find some module from libtpproto-py. With the help of a
Gentoo developer Marien Zwart it was discovered that setuptools need some help
to make it all work. He suggested a fix where two lines:
import pkg_resources
pkg_resources.require('libtpclient-py')
before the line
from tp.client import version
in file setup.py from libtpclient-py
Marien Zwart explains:
if you have tp installed sitewide you *always* get the sitewide copy, 'cause
it's defined through a .pth file, and .pth files override the local path
so if you want to use a "local" tp (which setup.py does here, that "from
tp.client import version" is trying to get at the tp.client in the current dir)
you *have* to go through pkg_resources.require
if you don't it only works if there is no site-wide tp install
