py27 conflict: nosetests, setuptools or distribute

[VictorEijkhout (Victor Eijkhout)]

I have a python file that processes fine, but nosetests-2.7 has started misbehaving since I last updated my ports.

This seems to come from pretty deep:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/local/bin/nosetests-2.7", line 5, in <module>
    from pkg_resources import load_entry_point

ValueError: A 0.7-series setuptools cannot be installed with distribute. Found one at /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages

I found the following link, which is thoroughly uninformative to me:

This helped me to get the py27 system online again ... sudo port deactivate setuptools

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

There is no port called "py27-nosetests". I'm assuming py27-nose. In the future, please Cc the port maintainer(s).

Where did /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/distribute-0.6.36-py2.7.egg/pkg_resources.py come from? Check with:

port provides /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/distribute-0.6.36-py2.7.egg/pkg_resources.py

The pkg_resources module should be provided by setuptools, and having an old version of distribute around as well is probably bad. (Distribute recently re-merged with setuptools upstream.)

Cc Me!

I would assume this was related to the change for distribute to setuptools at the time of the merge of the two projects and is probably not relevant anymore.

Summary: close!

Also no response from reporter.
