This is a bug in whatever code set or reset the __file__ attribute, not a pkg_resources bug. __file__ must be a filename or it must not exist. Presumably this is a problem in the code that's reloading the package in question. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
