Don't work with zc.buildout == 2.4.1

[Cykooz]

$ ./bin/buildout
While:
  Installing.
  Loading extensions.

An internal error occurred due to a bug in either zc.buildout or in a
recipe being used:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Thanks for the hint. It seems this need some work to be fixed because URLOpener is no longer used when running with python 2 but out patch is based on URLOpener.

Workaround: run bootstrap with -v option and provide a working zc.buildout version.

Example: python bootstrap.py -v 2.0.0

[Cykooz]

Yes, I will be use this workaround, and I hope what you can a quick fix errors in the lovely.buildouthttp :)

[petri]

@jukart got any timeframe for fixing this?

Apparently zc.buildout == 2.4.0 also works. I also needed to pin six to new version and make sure setuptools is recent enough. Sigh.

I then managed to have buildout run - up to the point of basic auth with remote PyPI server, at which point I now always get unauthorized 401. Switching back to lovely.buildouthttp 0.5.0 works.

Given all this, from my point of view, lovely.buildouthttp > 0.50 is currently completely useless on Python2. Cannot make it work.

I'm using zc.buildout 2.5.1 and lovely.buildouthttp 0.6.1 on Python 3.5. I'm getting:

File "/<buildout_path>/eggs/lovely.buildouthttp-0.6.1-py3.5.egg/lovely/buildouthttp/buildouthttp.py", line 331, in <module>
    class URLOpener(download.URLOpener):
AttributeError: module 'zc.buildout.download' has no attribute 'URLOpener'

Is there a fix to this?

[Cykooz]

@marcoBanse you can try cykooz.buildout.basicauth. It is my fork of isotoma.buildout.basicauth and it has support of Python 3+.

@Cykooz Man, thanks a lot, I could install it and it works out of the box with my ~/.pypirc. Now I can go to weekend!
