tl;dr - easy_install sucks, so use pip It is common practice in python to run:
python setup.py install or python setup.py develop So much so that we spend a giant amount of effort to make sure that those always work. Fortunately for us, the underlying mechanism, setuptools, can often be a pile of monkies. pip, while also with its fair share of issues, _is_ a bit better at navigating the shallow waters at times. SO - I'd like to suggest: Instead of: "python setup.py install" Run: "pip install ." It should have the exact same result, but pip can succeed in some places where setup.py install directly can fail. Also, if you'd like to run python setup.py develop, simply run: "pip install -e ." Which you may not have known will run setup.py develop behind the scenes. Things this will help with: - world peace - requirements processing - global hunger - the plague Enjoy. Monty PS. The other should work. It's just sometimes it doesn't, and when it doesn't it's less my fault. _______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list OpenStack-dev@lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
