python setup.py develop does not work

[David Kranz]

I did the following on a fresh ubuntu 12.04 instance:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y install python-dev libssl-dev python-pip git-core libxml2-dev libxslt-dev
sudo apt-get -y build-dep python-mysqldb

git clone http://github.com/openstack/tempest.git
cd tempest

sudo python setup.py develop

That fails with an error that tells me I have to do:

sudo easy_install -U distribute

I do that and it finishes. I then do:

nosetests -v tempest/tests/compute/flavors/

and get

  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/distribute-0.6.36-py2.7.egg/pkg_resources.py", line 1326, in _get
    stream = open(path, 'rb')
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/prettytable-0.7.2-py2.7.egg/EGG-INFO/top_level.txt'

This works if I do the nosetests with 'sudo' but it should just work.

I also noticed that 'python setup.py develop' does not install the stuff in rest-requires. Is that expected?

so isn't this the reason we've got run_tests.sh with the venv creation? I'm not sure that setup.py develop was something that's actually supposed to work. if it is, we should loop in monty.

[Expired for tempest because there has been no activity for 60 days.]

my devstack installation script has suddenly stopped working - when I attempt to manually start keystone with

 cd /opt/stack/keystone && /opt/stack/keystone/bin/keystone-all --config-file /etc/keystone/keystone.conf --log-config /etc/keystone/logging.conf -d --debug || touch "/opt/stack/status/stack/key.failure"

(which fails with devstack) I get IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/prettytable-0.7.2.egg-info/top_level.txt'

This should be addressed in https://review.openstack.org/#/c/41209/. Interesting early instance of what became common in pip 1.4.
