Bug 177433 – dev-python/turbogears dependencies don't install egg-info with python 2.4

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Santiago Gala 2007-05-07 10:06:07 UTC]

After I upgraded to TurboGears 1.0.2.2, it stopped to work here with a traceback ending in:

resources.DistributionNotFound: cElementTree>=1.0.5

The problem is that cElementTree (and three other packages) don't install a egg-info file.

Workaround: comment 4 lines in /usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/TurboGears-1.0.2.2-py2.4.egg-info/requires.txt

#CherryPy >= 2.2.1,<3.0.0alpha
#elementtree >= 1.2.6
#ConfigObj >= 4.3.2
#cElementTree >= 1.0.5

or add the egg-info files (python 2.5 does it out of the box)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install turbogears with python 2.4

try tg-admin

Actual Results:  
a traceback

Expected Results:  
it runs

[Comment 1 Tiziano Müller (RETIRED) 2007-05-07 13:26:08 UTC]

Could you maybe try to change the following in the turbogears ebuild:

        sed -i \
                -e '/install_requires = \[.*\],/d' \
                -e '/use_setuptools/d' \
                setup.py || die "sed failed"

to this:

        sed -i \
                -e '/install_requires = \[.*\],/d' \
                -e '/install_requires/, /],/d' \
                -e '/use_setuptools/d' \
                setup.py || die "sed failed"

and tell me whether it works?
Thanks.
