By way of google I realize I am having what appears to be a pretty common issue install ez_setup.py on a PC (Windows XP, Python27).I receive an error message that looks like the following: Installing easy_install-2.7.exe.manifest script to C:\Python27\Scripts [...snipped a long traceback...] return self.loader.get_data(path) zipimport.ZipImportError: bad local file header in c:\python27\lib\site-packages \setuptools-3.5.1-py2.7.egg Something went wrong during the installation. See the error message above.
You can run into this when attempting to upgrade an existing setuptools installation packaged as a zipped egg (due to some old zipimporter caches not getting cleaned up correctly).
Is there a common solution for this issue?
It has already been reported and a patch has been prepared. See the following:
https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/issue/168 https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/pull-request/48 But the patch is still waiting on the maintainer to apply it. Hope this helps. Best regards, Jurko Gospodnetić -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
