[viewvc-users] Failure to import pkg_resources

Hello -

 

It might be that the answer to my question is simply "You need to
understand Python better."  However, it's possible that someone will
immediately have an idea for me to try, so it's worth asking.

 

This past weekend, we upgraded Subversion from 1.5.6 to 1.6.3.  The
repository was converted, as well.  The newer Subversion requires at
least Python 2.4 for its bindings, so I upgraded from Python 2.3.4 to
2.6.2.  At the command line, I can successfully import setuptools,
pkg_resources, and MySQLdb.  The "easy_install" has been installed
afresh and seems to be working fine.  I have refreshed the _mysql.so in
~apache/.python-eggs by invoking "import MySQLdb".

 

When we try to run ViewVC with "view=query" in the URL we encounter the
traceback shown below.  We are failing to import pkg_resources, which is
a really basic package.  Does anyone have a suggestion as to why this
package cannot be found?

 

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/var/www/viewvc-1.1.1-experimental/lib/viewvc.py", line 4100, in
main
    request.run_viewvc()
  File "/var/www/viewvc-1.1.1-experimental/lib/viewvc.py", line 403, in
run_viewvc
    self.view_func(self)
  File "/var/www/viewvc-1.1.1-experimental/lib/viewvc.py", line 3764, in

    import cvsdb
  File "/var/www/viewvc-1.1.1-experimental/lib/cvsdb.py", line 21, in

    import dbi
  File "/var/www/viewvc-1.1.1-experimental/lib/dbi.py", line 18, in

    import MySQLdb
  File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/MySQLdb/__init__.py", line 19, in

  File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/_mysql.py", line 7, in <module>
  File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/_mysql.py", line 3, in
__bootstrap__
ImportError: No module named pkg_resources

 

By the way, the ViewVC queries of the MySQL commit database have
provided us with an awesome integration between Subversion and Bugzilla.
Thanks to all who have produced this extremely useful tool!
