IOError in easy_install

[Michael Haubenwallner]

i am using python2.6, ubuntu 9.10

inside an activated virtualenv with no-site-packages ...

$ bin/paster create -t bluebream sampleproject
...
Running /home/d2m/workspace/bluebream/bin/python setup.py egg_info
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
  File "/home/d2m/workspace/bluebream/lib/python2.6/site-packages/PasteScript-1.7.3-py2.6.egg/paste/script/pluginlib.py", line 134, in egg_info_dir
    % ', '.join(all))
IOError: No egg-info directory found (looked in ...)

in contrast to the bluebream tests this is missing when creating a sample project:

    Recursing into +package+.egg-info
      Creating ./sample/src/sample.egg-info/

It looks similar to #502817 the +package+.egg-info is an empty directory, I think that's causing this error. I fixed that issue by adding few text files inside the directory structure. I am not sure whether that is correct fix for this issue.

BTW, I couldn't reproduce it like this (using system Python):

$ virtualenv --no-site-packages ve
$ cd ve
$ source bin/activate
$ easy_install bluebream
$ paster create -t bluebream sampleproject

Are you using system Python ? Can you provide actual steps you tried. Meanwhile I will try with a custom built Python.

[Baiju Muthukadan (baijum)]

I couldn't reproduce this error with custom built Python. But as you mentioned, I cannot see the step for creating .egg-info directory from PasteScripts's command-line output.

I have reported this issue here: http://trac.pythonpaste.org/pythonpaste/ticket/404

As a work around I have fixed by adding an empty "PKG-INFO" file and made a new release. As I couldn't reproduce the error properly, I will wait for somebody else to verify this fix, until then, we will keep this bug opened.

thanks, works now with bluebream0.1.4
