Bug Description
Zope2 version 2.13.12 on Ubuntu 11.10.
To reproduce:
virtualenv env
. env/bin/activate
pip install Zope2
mkzopeinterface foo
At this point, we get the following traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/mnt/data/
from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
File "/mnt/data/
parse_
File "/mnt/data/
raise VersionConflict
pkg_resources.
As a workaround, just do
pip install zope.interface --upgrade
Installing Zope2 via pip without using a known-good-set of versions isn't supported. Please see http:// docs.zope. org/zope2/ releases/ 2.13/INSTALL. html for valid installation instructions and note the use of a custom index for easy_install. Something similar might work for pip, though they have been reports in the past of some Zope packages being incompatible with pip.
