authkit elementtree dependency broken with python 2.5

[Thimo Neubauer]

Binary package hint: python-authkit

When I tried to use AuthKit in my Pylons applications I got a pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound exception for "elementtree>=1.2<=1.3". This cannot be fulfilled for Python 2.5 because elementtree is contained with Python since that version. I've removed the elementtree lines from both required.txt files to work around this problem and had no problems using AuthKit afterwards.

Where did you remove those lines? I tried it to, but it doesn't fix it.

(dupe: because i would like to recieve emails about changes/updates. I did not enable that in the previous post.)

Last comment from me. I fixed it myself. For all the other people with the same problem:

# cd /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/AuthKit-0.4.1dev_r139-py2.5.egg-info
# sudo nano requires.txt

remove the elementtree line.

I had to remove the same line from:

/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/AuthKit-0.4.1dev_r139-py2.4.egg-info/requires.txt

I do have a /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/AuthKit-0.4.1dev_r139-py2.5.egg-info/requires.txt, but altering it did not help.
