Missing common directory when using setup.py

[agwego]

• bigchaindb-driver version: current master 0.5.0a2, 0.5.0a3
• bigchaindb server version (bigchaindb -v): 1.0.1
• Python version: 3.5.2
• Operating System: Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS

Description

Installing with python3 setup.py install, fails to include the common files, which causes the driver to fail when importing file in common.

What I Did

Added the following line to the MANIFEST.in file to make it work. recursive-include bigchaindb_driver/common * python3 setup.py install

@agwego We just released a new version of the Python driver, 0.5.0a3

Maybe try installing and using that version instead. To install it:

pip install bigchaindb-driver==0.5.0a3

[agwego]

Yeah, that doesn't work for your information:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "createAccounts.py", line 8, in <module>
    from bigchaindb_driver import BigchainDB
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/bigchaindb_driver/__init__.py", line 1, in <module>

Same issue

You need to update the MANIFEST.in file

@agwego thanks for your issue. We recently added a new module to the driver and we didn't update setup.py property (side note: I assumed it was using find_packages). See #417 and #418. We will release 0.5.0a4 in a minute.

@agwego the new version has been uploaded, you can install it with pip install bigchaindb-driver==0.5.0a4.

root@u138:~# pip3 install bigchaindb-driver==0.5.0a4  
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/pip3", line 7, in <module>

@agwego this is something that do not depend on us. From what I read, it seems like pip has not been installed correctly. Online I found that reinstalling pip should do the trick. Can you give it a try?

[agwego]

Yes that worked, thanks.

Thanks for the quick feedback! I'll close the issue now.
