DistributionNotFound #393

Open emcconne opened 9 years ago

emcconne commented 9 years ago

I am on RHEL6.4 and am trying to get newrelic_plugin_agent 1.3.0 to start. I am using python 2.6.6 and have the following list of python packages

argparse (1.3.0) decorator (3.0.1) distribute (0.6.10) ethtool (0.6) helper (2.4.1) importlib (1.0.3) iniparse (0.3.1) iwlib (1.0) logutils (0.3.3) M2Crypto (0.20.2) newrelic-plugin-agent (1.3.0) pip (6.0.8) pycurl (7.19.0) pygpgme (0.1) pyOpenSSL (0.10) python-dateutil (1.4.1) python-dmidecode (3.10.13) PyXML (0.8.4) PyYAML (3.11) requests (2.5.3) rhnlib (2.5.22) rhsm (1.8.17) setuptools (0.6rc11) simplejson (2.0.9) slip (0.2.20) slip.dbus (0.2.20) slip.gtk (0.2.20) urlgrabber (3.9.1) yum-metadata-parser (1.1.2)

When executing newrelic-plugin-agent I get: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/newrelic-plugin-agent", line 5, in from pkg_resources import load_entry_point File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 2655, in working_set.require(requires) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 648, in require needed = self.resolve(parse_requirements(requirements)) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 546, in resolve raise DistributionNotFound(req) pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: requests>=2.0.0

I have to comment out helper>=2.2.2 and requests>=2.0.0 in /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/newrelic_plugin_agent-1.3.0-py2.6.egg-info/requires.txt before the agent can start. Any ideas why DistributionNotFound for requests and then argparse happen when starting? Are there any problems with the approach I've outlined?

Have you find any solution? Here I have the same issue.

pip install distribute --upgrade solved this for me

pip install distribute --upgrade solved this for me as well.

Another sort-of solution I found seems to work for a while is:

yum reinstall python-argparse python-requests

...although the distribute --upgrade solution works more permanently.

It seems like something on the system does a "pip install argparse" or "pip install requests" that upgrades one or both of those libraries. From then on, the plugin agent refuses to start - I can't figure out why. There seem to be reasonably reliable solutions though :-)
