python-swiftclient run "sudo pip install -r test-requirements.txt " Fail

[chenhuayi]

Env: Ubuntu 14.40

Check out the python-swiftclient repo:
        cd $HOME; git clone https://github.com/openstack/python-swiftclient.git
Build a development installation of python-swiftclient:
        cd $HOME/python-swiftclient; sudo pip install -r requirements.txt

now, the two steps is okay.

then, I try run "sudo pip install -r test-requirements.txt ", Exception as follow:

swift@Docker:~/python-swiftclient$ sudo pip install -r test-requirements.txt
Exception:

Sorry, the bug should be report to python-swift. Can I close or delete it ?

The pip is likely too old.

Good news is, with mock 1.2 in the gate, this segment in the test-requirements.txt is not needed anymore. We could simply require mock>=1.2.

Fixed in https://review.openstack.org/#/c/205150/ (commit 7c7f46a33d30a68b4e070fc5d1515f8a668f3b04).
