Description

When trying to use easy_install to get a win32 buildbot, easy_install reports that it failed to make eggs. 

C:\Perforce\Branches\epurins\main\Code\source\Integration\Python>c:\Python25\Scripts\easy_install.exe
buildbot-0.7.7
Processing buildbot-0.7.7
Running setup.py -q bdist_egg --dist-dir C:\Perforce\Branches\epurins\main\Code\source\Integration\Python\buildbot-0.7.7\egg-dist-tmp-_eobh0
zip_safe flag not set; analyzing archive contents...

No eggs found in C:\Perforce\Branches\epurins\main\Code\source\Integration\Python\buildbot-0.7.7\egg-dist-tmp-_eobh0 (setup script problem?)

This is using activestate python 

ActivePython 2.5.1.1 (ActiveState Software Inc.) based on
Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, May  1 2007, 17:47:05) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>

setup.py install works ok.

Currently, the frontpage makes it seem like easy_install works out of the box, which is not accurate. It would be cool if this were directly added to a win32 wiki section with a workaround, or to get eggs building ok on win32.

  • owner set to zooko.
  • status changed from new to assigned.

It looks like your cut and paste might have gotten line-wrapped. Was the command the you ran: 

C:\Perforce\Branches\epurins\main\Code\source\Integration\Python>c:\Python25\Scripts\easy_install.exe buildbot-0.7.7

or 

C:\Perforce\Branches\epurins\main\Code\source\Integration\Python>c:\Python25\Scripts\easy_install.exe

?

Yeah, it got line wrapped. It was 

c:\Python25\Scripts\easy_install.exe buildbot-0.7.7

where buildbot-0.7.7 was a local folder of source files. (Was trying to narrow it down)

this occurs for me if I use the network too, ie: 

c:\Python25\Scripts\easy_install.exe buildbot

or 

c:\Python25\Scripts\easy_install.exe buildbot==0.7.7

I can reproduce this problem here. I'll work on it.

Make it an egg, and it will work (that's a one-liner change, by calling setuptools' setup function instead of distutils.core one in setup.py)

That's what we did to make easy_install work under windows :

I've mailed a patch to Brian Warner that does this. If he doesn't tell me not to after the imminent buildbot release I'll apply that patch to trunk.

Yay! Thanks for the tips and fix. I <3 buildbot and crew. Looking forward to easy_install.
