Setup without easy install #340

Closed jkaye2012 closed 4 years ago

jkaye2012 commented 5 years ago

Hi all,

After a recent upgrade, completion in anaconda-mode buffers is broken for me. Other buffers complete fine (as does the inferior repl), which points to an issue in anaconda-mode.

anaconda-mode contains the following message repeatedly:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 61, in <module>
AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'clear'

Thanks!

Guessing: (defun anaconda-mode-port () (process-get anaconda-mode-process 'port))

This function returns nils.

This was being caused by the way that Anaconda expects its dependencies to be loaded/installed. It's currently using eggs that must be installed by easy_install, which does not support many of the pip configurations that are often required to get at external packages (e.g. from within a corporate network).

Is there any way to leverage pip instead of easy_install to get these dependencies (jedi, parso, and service_factory). I ended up having to manually download each of these packages and running easy_install pointed to my own machine as the pypi index.

So long as the dependencies are already installed, you can work around this by adding the following empty directories to the directory stored in (anaconda-mode-server-directory) (typically ~/.emacs.d/anaconda-mode/<version>)

jedi.egg
service_factory.egg
