Taggit installation problems

[beechnut]

I'm on OS X 10.7 Lion, and when I run python manage.py migrate after sourcing into virtualenv and running pip install -r requirements.txt, I have trouble with taggit:

django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: ImportError taggit: No module named taggit

Thad and I had problems with this at the hackathon, but we got around them by removing taggit from the dependencies since we didn't really need them at the time.

Does anyone know a solution to this?

Is taggit installed? If you run pip freeze, it'll show the python libraries installed (it should be called django-taggit). Also try pip install django-taggit. You'll also need to syncdb (python manage.py syncdb) before migrating, particularly if you're creating a new database.

Okay, everything installed and migrated properly. Here's what I did:

virtualenv --no-site-packages environment
source environment/bin/activate
pip install django-taggit # explicitly, even though it's in requirements.txt
pip install -r requirements.txt
python manage.py syncdb
python manage.py migrate

Then I ran into a braces error, so I ran:

curl -O http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py
python distribute_setup.py
pip install django-braces

and now we're all good.

I think I've seen that same error, before. Did you get a message that says "No module named pkg_resources" or something? I've followed the instructions on this stack overflow threadhttp://stackoverflow.com/questions/7446187/no-module-named-pkg-resourcesa few times. Not sure what causes it.

Oh, nm, I just read the second answer on that thread:

It also happened to me. I think the problem will happen if the requirements.txt contains a "distribute" entry while the virtualenv uses setuptools. Pip will try to patch setuptools to make room for distribute, but unfortunately it will fail half way.

mkvirtualenv yourenv --distribute

should do the trick to prep venv to use distribute rather than setuptools.
