Installation does not work with python 2.7.5 on MAC Mavericks

[sdrdis]

I tried to install it with the installation script but it was throwing me the same error than later ("QSTK is a namespace package...").

I then tried to upload the latest zip from https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/Q/QSTK/, and launched sudo python setup.py install. Here is the result :

> sudo python setup.py install
running install

/usr/bin/python -E -c pass

error: Namespace package problem: QSTK is a namespace package, but its
__init__.py does not call declare_namespace()! Please fix it.
(See the setuptools manual under "Namespace Packages" for details.)

I tried to launch it with python2.5 and it was not sending this error message... It doesn't seem that there is a lot to fix, just adding a line in a init.py file, but I don't know exactly...

Thanks :)

Thanks, we will take a look.

I get the same error on Ubuntu 14.04, with both QSTK-0.2.6 and 0.2.7. (python2.7)

Here's the fix:

1. Open init.py in a text editor
2. Add the line "declare_namespace('QSTK')" without quotes.
3. sudo python setup.py install
4. After installation, open the Cellar folder where init.py is installed. I used the terminal command "open /usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.6_1/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/QSTK-0.2.7-py2.7.egg/QSTK/" without quotes to open where it was located for me.
5. Remove the declare_namespace('QSTK') line from init.py (Hint: easiest way to do it is to replace it with the original downloaded init.py file.

I sent a pull request with the update. Hope that helps.

Note: the underscores wrapping init.py don't show up in my comment.

Have the same problem. Can you tell me which init.py file I have to edit at the first step? Thanks!

[misterkabir]

@Torishniy The one located in the QSTK folder. Here's the patch for 0.2.6: https://github.com/misterkabir/QuantSoftwareToolkit/blob/patch-1/QSTK/__init__.py

Thank you very much! It works!
