Was this issue ever resolved properly? It still seems to be an issue. The above is just one of a sequence of errors I have encountered in trying to install TurboGears (beta) on MacOS X 10.4 in a virtualenv like environment (not Ian's) where there was a completely blank slate for site-packages. The first issue was that tgsetup-betaversion.py downloaded and installed setuptools-0.6c6-py2.3.egg, but in doing that it ignored what I would have expected to be the correct script bin directory and tried to install in /usr/local/bin instead. Because I intentionally wasn't running this as root, that failed. Downloading http://cheeseshop.python.org/packages/2.3/s/setuptools/setuptools-0.6c6-py2.3.egg Processing setuptools-0.6c6-py2.3.egg creating /usr/local/wsgi/pythonenv/ENV1/lib/python2.3/site-packages/ setuptools-0.6c6-py2.3.egg Extracting setuptools-0.6c6-py2.3.egg to /usr/local/wsgi/pythonenv/ ENV1/lib/python2.3/site-packages Adding setuptools 0.6c6 to easy-install.pth file Installing easy_install script to /usr/local/bin error: /usr/local/bin/easy_install: Permission denied This appears to be because of how tgsetup-betaversion.py overrides easy_install class and the way it has in finalize_options() done: if self.script_dir is None: if os.name == "posix": if self.prefix: #honor the prefix specified on the command line self.script_dir = os.path.join(self.prefix, "bin") else: self.script_dir = "/usr/local/bin" Since the original finalize_options() is called after this, this overrides the original setuptools location for script_dir with /usr/ local/bin as self.prefix hasn't been set at that point. Is there a good reason this is being overridden? To get past this had to provide the --script-dir option to stop tgsetup from putting it in that location and put it in the virtual environment bin directory where it should go. The next problem encountered is when tgsetup tries to install SQLObject-0.7.9. The error is this case is: Processing SQLObject-0.7.9.tar.gz Running SQLObject-0.7.9/setup.py -q bdist_egg --dist-dir /tmp/ easy_install-s65jdD/SQLObject-0.7.9/egg-dist-tmp-Llm86c The required version of setuptools (>=0.6c7) is not available, and can't be installed while this script is running. Please install a more recent version first. (Currently using setuptools 0.6c6 (/usr/local/wsgi/pythonenv/ENV1/lib/ python2.3/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c6-py2.3.egg)) error: Setup script exited with 2 In other words, tgsetup installs older version of setuptools than what SQLObject requires. So, manually install newer version of setuptools as wanted and try again, on top of what has been done so far. Next problem was then that with simplejson, in particular when it was installing simplejson-1.7.3.tar.gz. Processing simplejson-1.7.3.tar.gz Running simplejson-1.7.3/setup.py -q bdist_egg --dist-dir /tmp/ easy_install-fsvKad/simplejson-1.7.3/egg-dist-tmp-VcrFLU .... TypeError: use_setuptools() got an unexpected keyword argument 'min_version' This would appear to be because it is trying to provide an argument min_version which the tgsetup scripts version of use_setuptools() doesn't accept. Since the location: http://trac.turbogears.org/browser/site_resources/eggs/simplejson-1.7 as referenced in this older post now no longer exists, I don't know what was being referred to and thus what version I should be installing. So, what is the status of this problem? I know I may be able to get around it by explicitly installing simplejson by hand, but would rather see the tgsetup script work properly from start to end. BTW, do you ever test installations onto a virgin system, especially into virtual environments as a non root user to make sure the installation works? These seem to be problems that would be pretty easy to pick up. Thanks for any feedback.
