This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------020707070007010608050805 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Two days ago I updated virtualenv, transitioning it away from the deprecated USE_PYDISTUTILS=easy_install to USE_PYDISTUTILS=yes as many other ports have recently. I thought nothing of it until the following report by Scott (cc'd): http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-python/2014-February/006592.html The summary of that thread is: a) Any python software that uses *console_scripts* needs the pkg_resources module from setuptools at run time. This basically means anything that installs a CLI utility. b) Package-only users don't get setuptools installed when they install the packages of the above ports, because =yes *doesnt* set a RUN_DEPENDS on it. This breaks console script invocation, with the following error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/<script-name>", line 5, in <module> from pkg_resources import load_entry_point ImportError: No module named pkg_resources Reproduction steps are: 1) Install port or package that uses console_scripts 2) If you installed the package, run the console script 3) If you installed the port 3.1) Run the console script 3.2) Remove py-setuptools 3.3) Run the console script again Reproduced with: py-virtualenv (`virtualenv`), py-tox (`tox`) and py-nose (`nosetests`) We (python@) have now standardised on a consistent installation pattern for all python software, whether pure-distutils or setuptools based, and there are run-time requirements that are currently not being satisfied. Attached is a patch moving RUN_DEPENDS+=setuptools from the =easy_install only case, to the default case. Patch review requested, other comments welcome. ./koobs --------------020707070007010608050805 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252; name="setuptools-is-run-depends-too.diff" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="setuptools-is-run-depends-too.diff" SW5kZXg6IGJzZC5weXRob24ubWsKPT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09 PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PQotLS0gYnNkLnB5dGhvbi5tawko cmV2aXNpb24gMzQzODIxKQorKysgYnNkLnB5dGhvbi5tawkod29ya2luZyBjb3B5KQpAQCAt NDE0LDExICs0MTQsMTEgQEAKIF9DVVJSRU5UUE9SVDo9CSR7UEtHTkFNRVBSRUZJWH0ke1BP UlROQU1FfQogLmlmIGRlZmluZWQoVVNFX1BZRElTVFVUSUxTKSAmJiAke19DVVJSRU5UUE9S VH0gIT0gJHtQWVRIT05fUEtHTkFNRVBSRUZJWH1zZXR1cHRvb2xzCiBCVUlMRF9ERVBFTkRT Kz0JCSR7UFlUSE9OX1BLR05BTUVQUkVGSVh9c2V0dXB0b29scz4wOiR7UE9SVFNESVJ9L2Rl dmVsL3B5LXNldHVwdG9vbHMKK1JVTl9ERVBFTkRTKz0JCSR7UFlUSE9OX1BLR05BTUVQUkVG SVh9c2V0dXB0b29scz4wOiR7UE9SVFNESVJ9L2RldmVsL3B5LXNldHVwdG9vbHMKIC5lbmRp ZgogCiAjIHNldHVwdG9vbHMgc3VwcG9ydAogLmlmIGRlZmluZWQoVVNFX1BZRElTVFVUSUxT KSAmJiAke1VTRV9QWURJU1RVVElMU30gPT0gImVhc3lfaW5zdGFsbCIKLVJVTl9ERVBFTkRT Kz0JCSR7UFlFQVNZSU5TVEFMTF9DTUR9OiR7UE9SVFNESVJ9L2RldmVsL3B5LXNldHVwdG9v bHMKIAogUFlESVNUVVRJTFNfQlVJTERfVEFSR0VUPz0JCWJkaXN0X2VnZwogUFlESVNUVVRJ TFNfSU5TVEFMTF9UQVJHRVQ/PQllYXN5X2luc3RhbGwK --------------020707070007010608050805--
