cannot install in virtualenv #18

Closed meejah closed 7 years ago

meejah commented 7 years ago

When I try to install this in a virtualenv, I get an error culminating in error: could not create '/usr/share/pyaxo': Permission denied which I guess stems from the BASE_DIRECTORY stuff in setup.py? (That said, only the thing on PyPI can't install; if I clone and pip install --editable the master branch it seems to work.

Thanks for reporting it @meejah!

Sorry about that, those files should have been removed a while ago. Once #19 is merged that should be fixed.

Just out of curiosity, what pip version do you have installed? On our tests using pip 9 the installation does not fail, but it ends up installing in the package's scope: virtualenv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/usr/share/pyaxo/! (And I believe that behavior started with pip 7)

Could have been a "forgot to upgrade pip" problem (on Debian, virtualenv ships with a really old pip).

In any case, whatever is on PyPI right now seems to work with both latest pip and the pip that ships with python-virtualenv on Debian jessie (which is 1.5.6 [!!]).

Thanks!

Well, at least we remembered to remove the files!

Awesome!

That's incredible, 1.5.6-5 is almost two years old :O

Thanks @meejah!
