After installing Pylons, while creating creating a project this error is thrown: $ paster create -t pylons helloworld Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/paster", line 8, in <module> load_entry_point('PasteScript==1.7.3', 'console_scripts', 'paster')() File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/paste/script/command.py", line 84, in run invoke(command, command_name, options, args[1:]) File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/paste/script/command.py", line 123, in invoke exit_code = runner.run(args) File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/paste/script/command.py", line 218, in run result = self.command() File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/paste/script/create_distro.py", line 73, in command self.extend_templates(templates, tmpl_name) File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/paste/script/create_distro.py", line 262, in extend_templates tmpl = entry.load()(entry.name) File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 1912, in load if require: self.require(env, installer) File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 1925, in require working_set.resolve(self.dist.requires(self.extras),env,installer)) File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 524, in resolve raise DistributionNotFound(req) # XXX put more info here pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: Pygments emerge dev-python/pygments resolves the issue. This was on ~amd96, but ebuild does not make mention of pygments, so probably not arch specific. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge dev-python/pylons dev-python/pylons-0.9.7 USE="mako -cheetah -doc -genshi -jinja2 -kid -myghty" and all dependencies. 2. paster create -t pylons projectname 3. observe error message Actual Results: paster fails with exception "pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: Pygments". No questions asked, no project created. Expected Results: paster should have asked some questions and then created the project files. Was easy to resolve by emerging pygments. ===== emerge --info: Portage 2.1.6.13 (default/linux/amd64/2008.0, gcc-4.3.3, glibc-2.10.1-r0, 2.6.30-gentoo-r2 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.30-gentoo-r2-x86_64-Intel-R-_Core-TM-2_CPU_6400_@_2.13GHz-with-gentoo-2.0.1 Timestamp of tree: Mon, 13 Jul 2009 21:00:01 +0000 app-shells/bash: 4.0_p24 dev-lang/python: 2.6.2-r1 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r8 dev-util/cmake: 2.6.4 sys-apps/baselayout: 2.0.1 sys-apps/openrc: 0.4.3-r3 sys-apps/sandbox: 2.0 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.63-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.5, 1.7.9-r1, 1.10.2, 1.11 sys-devel/binutils: 2.19.1-r1 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1 sys-devel/libtool: 2.2.6a virtual/os-headers: 2.6.30 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 x86 ~amd64 ~x86" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=core2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/gentoo-release /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/language.dat.d /etc/texmf/language.def.d /etc/texmf/updmap.d /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=core2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" DISTDIR="/var/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="distlocks fixpackages parallel-fetch protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch userpriv usersandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.is.co.za/linux/distributions/gentoo/ http://gentoo.mirror.ac.za/" LANG="en_ZA.UTF-8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" LINGUAS="en en_ZA en_GB en_US en_DK" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/var/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://sda.za.net/gentoo-portage" USE="3ds 7zip X a52 aac aalib acl acpi alsa amd64 artist-screen aspell autoipd avahi bash-completion berkdb bzip2 cairo cdda cddb cdparanoia cdr cli colors console cracklib crypt css cups curl cvs dbus dga dia divx dri dts dvd dvdnav dvdr dvdread eap-tls encode exif fam ffmpeg flac fltk ftp fuse gcrypt gd gdbm geoip gif glitz gmedia gnome gnuplot gnutls gpm graphviz groupwise gsm gtk gts hal hou httpd ical iconv id3 id3tag imagemagick imap inotify irda jack java5 java6 javascript jpeg kate key-screen kvm ldap libass libcaca libsamplerate lm_sensors lua lvm lyrics-screen mad maildir matroska mdnsresponder-compat midi mmap mmx mmxext mouse mozdevelop mp3 mudflap multilib mysqli ncurses network nntp nptl nptlonly nvidia ogg openal openexr opengl openmp pam parted pcre pdf perl perl-geoipupdate png pop posix pppd prediction pygrub python pyx quicktime rar readline realmedia reflection rss rtc rtsp samba sbcl schroedinger screen sdl search-screen sensord session silc smi smime smp sms smtp snmp soap song-screen sou speex spell spl sqlite sqlite3 sse sse2 sse3 ssh ssl ssse3 stream subversion svg sysfs tcpd theora threads threadsafe tiff tk truetype uml unicode usb userlocales vim vim-pager vim-syntax vlm vorbis wmp wxwidgets wxwindows x264 xanim xattr xcb xcomposite xft xgetdefault xml xmldoclet xmlreader xmlrpc xmlwriter xorg xosd xrandr xsl xslt xspf xterm-color xv xvid xvmc zlib" ALSA_CARDS="hda-intel" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="evdev" KERNEL="linux" LINGUAS="en en_ZA en_GB en_US en_DK" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia intel vesa" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
