Hi, I am using TG 1.0.8 with setuptools-0.6c9. Recently we have seen one strange error which prevents installing our TG app from source tarball with easy_install. For example, on my Ubuntu system...
$ rm -rf ~/.python-eggs $ sudo easy_install my-tg-app.tar.gz fails with SandboxViolation error. Initially I thought it might be setuptools problem but after going through the setuptools code I found that it's not a problem of setuptools as it does't allow modifying filesystem outside the package builddir. Further exploring the TG code, I found the root of the problem. In setup.py, we have from tubogears.finddata import find_package_data which also processes turbogears/__init__.py where there are few lines of code between 20-25 that loads turbogears.extensions. During this process, setuptools tries to create the cache (~/.python-eggs, as I have removed my cache directory) which is outside the `BUILDDIR`, which is a violation of setuptools security model. The problem should be fixed either from setuptools allowing filesystem operations inside the `egg cache` directory or TG should not load extensions while build operations by checking for `bdist_egg` in `sys.argv`. Curious to know about the most feasible solution... - Amit --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
