Package: tox Version: 2.3.1-4 Severity: normal A simple ‘tox’ configuration following the documentation is failing with an error:
AssertionError: Multiple .dist-info directories
This could be a beginner mistake, but if so the documentation needs
updating to provide more guidance for this problem. On the other hand,
it may be a bug in this program or elsewhere.
Having installed ‘tox’, I make a ‘tox.ini’ file:
=====
$ cat ./tox.ini | grep -v '^#'
[tox]
envlist = py27, py34, py35
[testenv]
commands =
{envpython} -m unittest discover
deps =
[testenv:py27]
commands =
{envpython} -m unit2 discover
deps =
unittest2
=====
Then when I run ‘tox’ in the same directory, it fails to set up the
virtualenv:
=====
$ tox
[…]
py35 create: /home/bignose/Projects/python/manpage/trunk/.tox/py35
ERROR: invocation failed (exit code 1), logfile:

Nothing in the “Basic example” or the upstream issue tracker gives me
any clues about this.
What is wrong here? What needs to be done to get this working with the
Debian-installed ‘tox’ package?
