pip install ortools not working

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. On OS X (probably Linux too) create a Python2 virtualenv
2. pip install ortools

Instead of installing the package, pip returns a message:

    Downloading/unpacking ortools
    Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement ortools
    Cleaning up...
    No distributions at all found for ortools

Versions:

$ python --version
Python 2.7.8

OS X 10.9.5

Running pips install ortools -vvvv as suggested in 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9559716 suggests that the egg is not 
accepted for some reason.

OK, I managed to solve it by upgrading setuptools from 12.05 to 12.1 by running

    curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/ez_setup.py -o - | python

After this installing the package got further, but was throwing ImportErrors 
for missing the ez_setup module, so I did

    pip install ez_setup

After this, pip install ortools worked. I'm not really sure if this was an 
issue with setuptools, my local virtualenv spaghetti or some ortools package 
settings.
