grokproject fails with IOError: No egg-info directory found

[Albertas Agejevas]

I installed grokproject with the buildout config attached. I got the same failure with a virtualenv buildout and a self-compiled python.

$ bin/grokproject MyGrok
Enter user (Name of an initial administrator user): gandalf
Enter passwd (Password for the initial administrator user): 123
Enter eggs_dir (Location where zc.buildout will look for and place packages) ['/home/alga/buildout-eggs']: /home/alga/src/eggs

Creating ./MyGrok/./MyGrok.egg-info manually and re-running grokproject fixes the problem.

My grokproject buildout uses: zc.recipe.egg-1.1.0b1-py2.4.egg setuptools-0.6c8-py2.4.egg zc.buildout-1.0.6-py2.4.egg

We're going to assume that this somehow got fixed in the mean time, or that --no-site-packages wasn't used with virtualenv and a system library conflicted.

[Christian Klinger (cklinger)]

In grokproject 2.1 we use zc.buildout 1.5.2 and therefore we don't need virtuanlenv anymore.
