Description

I am installing from source on Ubuntu 15.10, according to http://docs.kallithea-scm.org/en/latest/installation.html#installation-from-repository-source

python2 setup.py develop step fails in Mercurial setup:

Some info:

(kallithea-venv)kveretennicov@azelle:~/work/spam/kallithea$ hg id
941548131765 (stable) tip
(kallithea-venv)kveretennicov@azelle:~/work/spam/kallithea$ python2 --version
Python 2.7.10

I see the same on Windows with Python 2.7.11.

It succeeds if I hg up -r 0.3.

Yep, known issue with Mercurial and easy_install, I ran into it a week ago.

As a temporary fix, 94154813 introduced possibility to install Kallithea using pip install -r requirements.txt.

Yes, will be "fixed" in 0.3.1 very soon. The one-step-closer-to-root cause is tracked on https://bz.mercurial-scm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5121 .

Workaround: instead of setup.py develop, use pip install -e . ... or run pip install mercurial before setup.py.

pip install mercurial did the trick for me (pip install -r requirements.txt and pip install -e . didn't).

Comment by Mads Kiilerich, on 2016-03-13 23:13

How did pip install -e . fail? (Can you reproduce after pip uninstall mercurial?)

Comment by Konstantin Veretennicov, on 2016-03-13 23:27

I seem to recall it failed similar to https://ci.appveyor.com/project/kveretennicov/kallithea/build/44#L1520

That has been reported before on windows - 183.html and http://lists.sfconservancy.org/pipermail/kallithea-general/2016q1/001538.html . I don't know if the exact reason has been found ... but it seems like the problem eventually goes away ...

I just merged stable to default, so pip install -r requirements.txt should work there too ... or at least "work equally well".

Comment by Konstantin Veretennicov, on 2016-03-14 07:34

I added a separate build to experiment with installation options. On latest default I get:

As far as I can tell, AppVeyor build workers are plain Windows Server 2012 R2 with some bits of software pre-installed. More or less kind of the box where I would expect Windows people to install Kallithea.

Pinging @domruf too as I recall his interest in Windows and CI.

The MochiKit issue should perhaps be filed and tracked as a separate issue. Especially since it seems to be windows only? Edit: it is already filed on 183.html - please continue there.

  • Can you reproduce locally?
  • Could it be related to Python 2.7.11?
  • Can it be worked around by pip install Paste==2.0.2 ?

Problem assumed fixed, please reopen if it's not the case
