Hello David,
Not sure how close distutils is to working with IronPython.
The correct way to install packages for an installed version of
IronPython *should* be to use the "user site-packages" rather than the
global site-packages (which won't be writable for IronPython without
admin rights):
http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0370/
ipy setup.py install --user
setuptools is a complex, horrible old beast and I wouldn't like to guess
at its IronPython compatibility. Shame MySQLdb depends on it for an
install - but MySQLdb almost certainly depends on C extensions anyway.
In the long run distutils2 will replace setuptools entirely (for CPython
the distribute package has *already* replaced it whilst remaining
compatible). The distutils2 guys are *very* open to input - so 'someone'
should run the tests with IronPython and report any problems.
distutils used to break *after* installing a pure-Python package for
IronPython when it attempted to do byte-code compilation. This specific
problem is fixed in trunk but I don't know if it is fixed in the version
of distutils shipped with IronPython 2.6. This was the last step - so
the error was alarming but wouldn't stop the install.
All the best,
Michael Foord

Hi guys,
I don't whether somebody else asked this question, but I am really
confused about this.
I have already installled IronPython2.6 and add it into my system's
path, so I can directly type ipy to start IronPython2.6.
So I tried " ipy setup.py install" to install MySQLdb, but it give me
an error said no module named setuptools. Then I download setuptools
and install it, it gave me an error:
No module named pkg_resources.
Why doesn't IronPython2.6 ship with a setuptools like easy_install ?
Now, I can't install any 3rd party package and don't know how to fix it.
Regards,
David
