pip install errors on Linux

[jamescooke]

Just opening this as a clean issue thread. Problem is that PyImgur package can not be installed on Linux through PyPI.

Full debug is as follows.

(env)james@blackbox:/tmp/test$ pip install pyimgur-0.3.2.tar.gz --verbose

pip.log contains the same info. Some previous discussion is here #5

I've looked but been unable to find any difference in the installation related code in PyImgur and PRAW. I didn't make the installation code for PRAW nor am I responsible for packaging. But I am a prolific contributor and help semi-maintain it, so I have a good idea of what issues people have with PRAW. I've never seen anyone have problems like yours. I've tried searching on SO and google and also been unable to dig up similar issues.

So the way I see it either I've made a mistake in the packaging or relase of the project. I'm not very experienced with packaging so this is a real posibility or it's something with your system and/or setup

Maybe you could create a question on StackOverflow and let the smart guyes there help us? I'll be glad to make changes to ensure that PyImgur can be installed problemfree on as many systems as possible.

hi @Damgaard - that sounds like a good idea. I'm also not experienced with packaging and would like to be able to help you get it working. Plus I would like to find out if it's just a problem with my 64 bit boxes. I will investigate more.

You can assign this ticket to me if you want and I'll check it out.

I also have a similar issue. Seems like pip downloaded the Windows version instead of the .tar.gz. I then downloaded the .tar.gz from PyPi and I was able to install that version successfully. Full log available here (couldn't get the code block thingy to work): http://pastebin.com/Z7RaAyF1

[Damgaard]

@jamescooke It doesn't appear that I can assign tickets to anyone but myself. Have you made a SO post?

I have also received a somewhat similar error. Not sure what the problem may be.
Here's the log:

I'm running this on OSX, however.

[Damgaard]

I reproduced this error on a Linux machine and it appears that @ToJa92 was correct and that pip tried installing via the windows version. I've tested only deploying gztar verson and that appears to solve the problem. So please try installing the latest version (0.5) from PyPi and see if that solves your problem.

[ToJa92]

Fixed for me when installing 0.5 using pip on the same machine that previously gave me errors.

[Damgaard]

Excellent! I'm going to close the issue, but you can reopen if you still have an issue installing on linux.

[nik]

@Damgaard isn't that not really a fix, though? I had to install it manually from PyPi but a default pip install doesn't properly work since it tries to install the windows version

[Damgaard]

There is no windows version for PyImgur 0.5. Are you having problems installing this version?

[nik]

There isn't? Then why does it try to install some win32 version, which doesn't work on macosx, I had to get the tar.gz and install it manually

[Damgaard]

There is only a gztar version, you can check by going to the cheeseshop yourself. There was a problem installing 0.4.2 due to the existince of a win32 binary distribution. It seems likely that your system is trying to install this version rather than the latest. You can see what version is being installed by using the verbose commandline argument i.e pip install pyimgur -v Chances are you have a stale build directory laying around. See this SO Question
