slidedeck installed from pip missing `data` directory

wavebeem commented 10 years ago

Operating system

Ubuntu Server 13.10

Installation method

sudo aptitude install python-pip
sudo pip install jinja2 markdown watchdog
sudo pip install slidedeck

Problem

Running slidedeck create lightning-talk-jison yields the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/slidedeck", line 75, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/local/bin/slidedeck", line 65, in main
    create.create_project(args.path)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/slidedeck/create.py", line 24, in create_project
    shutil.copytree(data_dir, directory, ignore=callback)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/shutil.py", line 171, in copytree
    names = os.listdir(src)
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/slidedeck/data'

Workaround

Cloning the GitHub repo and running setup.py as instructed installed correctly, but as far as I can tell there's no way to uninstall using that script.

I'll take a look at this. I think it's probably missing something from the MANIFEST file.

(ps. thanks for the very thorough bug report!)

I was able to reproduce this issue on my machine when installing from pip. I pushed a new release to pypi and it appears to fix the issue.

Awesome. Do you know if it's possible to purge the installation I created using setup.py now that I can use pip to install?

Might have to manually delete it from python site-packages?

you should be able to pip uninstall slidedeck, even if you installed it with setup.py

wavebeem commented 10 years ago

Good on pip for being able to that.

I just installed with pip and was able to create and render a slide deck.

You're more than welcome for the detail, it's the least I can do.
