Hi, I am facing some issues w.r.t easy_install when I want to use virtual-python environment. I followed below mentioned link to set up virtual-python :
http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall#creating-a-virtual-python OS: SuSE Linux Enterprise Desktop Python version: 2.6 I edited PYTHONPATH to something like this : *>cat /etc/bash.bashrc.local * export PYTHONPATH=.:/home/ashutoshn/lib/:$PYTHONPATH export PATH=.:~/bin:/opt/local/bin:$PATH Then I install setuptools by executing : *> sh setuptools-0.6c11-py2.6.egg -d /home/ashutoshn/lib/* The system now uses easy_install of the virtual-python environment. *> which easy_install* /home/ashutoshn/lib/easy_install *>easy_install Pygments* *-d /home/ashutoshn/lib/python2.6/site-packages/* I get the following error message : *error: can't create or remove files in install directory The following error occurred while trying to add or remove files in the installation directory: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/test-easy-install-27311.pth' The installation directory you specified (via --install-dir, --prefix, or the distutils default setting) was: /usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ This directory does not currently exist. Please create it and try again, or choose a different installation directory (using the -d or --install-dir option)*. So, how does Python keep track of what directories are / are not enabled for *.pth* processing ? easy_install doesn't seem to work for me. Any suggestions / inputs ?
