Hello Matt,

thanks for your bug report. It seams to be a linux py26 specific problem, which I currently not completely understand.

a) Win8.1 Py2.6.6 with pip 1.5.6 install works without error b) debian Py 2.7.3 with pip 1.1 install works without error c) debian Py 2.6.8 with pip 1.1 install reproduces your error

I will try to understand, what is going wrong. Regards, Luiko

Hello Matt,

suggestion for a workaround, download the zip archive, unzip it, open setup.py in an editor

wget -O TestLink-API-Python-client-0.6.1.zip http://sourceforge.net/projects/testlink-api-python-client/files/latest/download
unzip TestLink-API-Python-client-0.6.1.zip
cd TestLink-API-Python-client-0.6.1
emacs setup.py

change setup.py 

#with open(join(dirname(__file__), 'src', 'testlink', 'version.py')) as fpv:
#    version_code = compile(fpv.read(), 'version.py', 'exec')
#    exec(version_code)
VERSION = '0.6.1'
TL_RELEASE = '1.9.13'

and than installation should work with

python setup.py install

Sorry, but I currently not see another solution

Regards, Luiko

PS: don't forget to install although argparse (see Install - Preconditions)

:+1: Thanks, the workaround works well enough for now.
