mo translation file generation fails when running setup.py

[pndsagora]

Hi,

When I try to build openfisca-web-api as wheel package, command fails with error

$ python setup.py bdist_wheel
[...]
error: can't copy 'openfisca_web_api/i18n/fr/LC_MESSAGES/openfisca-web-api.mo': doesn't exist or not a regular file

mo translation file seems to not be generated from matching po source file. As a workaround, I've commented corresponding line in setup.py

Problem also exists on modules openfisca-core and openfisca-france.

Sorry, I missed the _compilecatalog command from the README.

Normally you shouldn't build the package by yourself, but instead install the published version on PyPI with:

pip install OpenFisca-Web-API

Indeed, the maintainers run compile_catalog before publishing the package, but that's not something users like you should do.

Perhaps I'm missing something but PyPi only seems to include some specific version :

https://pypi.python.org/pypi?%3Aaction=search&term=openfisca&submit=search

What if I want to fetch a custom version from sources ?

For example openfisca-core v4.1.5 openfisca-parsers v1.0.0 openfisca-france v10.0.0b0 openfisca-web-api v3.0.0 ?

I'm very curious ^^

Why do you want to install a past version?

Perhaps I'm missing something but PyPi only seems to include some specific version :

Indeed, the web UI of PyPI is not very clear about past versions, but they are hosted. You can install any published version with this syntax:

pip install OpenFisca-Core==4.1.5

You can see the versions with this hidden URL: https://pypi.python.org/simple/openfisca-core/

Thanks a lot, I completely missed the fact that PyPi had all versions hosted.

We need to build specific version because we don't have test our application with latest openfisca changes at the moment.

I've also made a pull request to be able to build RPM packages from git sources, it will be helpful to us.
