py-setuptools: graft fails with nonexistent directories on python3.4

[EJFielding (Eric Fielding)]

The new version 0.11 of py-py2app (my Python version is py34-py2app, but I assume this is not Python version specific) builds, but fails at the activation step due to a missing file:

:info:destroot reading manifest template 'MANIFEST.in'
:info:destroot error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'doc/_static'

I attach the full log.

By the way, I tried to complete my "port upgrade outdated" by skipping this port, but I can't figure out how to get it to be skipped. I tried "sudo port upgrade outdated and not iTerm2 and not py-py2app" and "sudo port upgrade outdated and not iTerm2 and not py34-py2app" and MacPorts 2.4.0 tries again to install it (I did a "port clean" also).

Seems to really just be py34:

I'm experiencing the same problem, but found a workaround. After the upgrade aborted, just go to the build directory of py34-py2app and add the two directories missing:

cd /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_python_py-py2app/py34-py2app/work/py2app-0.11
sudo mkdir doc/_static doc/_templates

and then start the upgrade again. Worked on both of my machines.

Thanks! This workaround worked for me also.

The above mkdir workaround, fixed the upgrade for me, thanks

Replying to detlevd: Only after changing ownership of those two dirs:

sudo chown macports doc/_static doc/_templates

it worked for me.

Seems to be resolved with setuptools 34.1.1, please reopen if not.
