Currently, the ez_setup.py in the TurboGears SVN still specifies DEFAULT_VERSION = "0.6a9dev_r41857", so when running "python setup.py develop" I get:
The required version of setuptools (>=0.6a9dev_r41857) is not available, and can't be installed while this script is running. Please install a more recent version first. Replacing that file with the 0.6a8 ez_setup.py worked for me, and I was able to run "python setup.py develop" successfully. One other thing I noticed while doing so: the setup.py script specifies "simple_json >= 1.0" (with an underscore), yet when it goes looking in PyPI, it does: Searching for simple-json>=1.0 Reading http://www.python.org/pypi/simple-json/ Couldn't find index page for 'simple-json' (maybe misspelled?) Scanning index of all packages (this may take a while) Reading http://www.python.org/pypi/ Reading http://www.python.org/pypi/simple_json/1.0 Reading http://undefined.org/python/#simple_json Best match: simple-json 1.0 Downloading http://cheeseshop.python.org/packages/2.4/s/simple_json/simple_json-1.0-py2.4.egg Processing simple_json-1.0-py2.4.egg Moving simple_json-1.0-py2.4.egg to /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages Adding simple-json 1.0 to easy-install.pth file Installed /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/simple_json-1.0-py2.4.egg Note the various combinations of underscore vs. hyphen there. Weird. It seems to work, but this feels like a lurking bug waiting to strike sometime, somewhere. -- Robin Munn [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG key 0xD6497014
