"File is not a zip file" error when building per website instructions #22

PaulSlocum · 2018-04-19T04:14:31Z

Using instructions from website here: https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-pioled-128x32-mini-oled-for-raspberry-pi/usage

On latest Raspbian Stretch:

It's not recognizing the file setuptools-3.5.1.zip as a valid zip file. Catting the file (cat setuptools-3.5.1.zip) reveals that it is a html document for a error 301.

<html><head><title>301 Moved Permanently</title></head><body><center><h1>301 Moved Permanently</h1></center></body></html>

After trying in a couple of environments (latest Raspbian image, and stock Debian Stretch), I'm unable to reproduce this behavior.

I do however notice a couple of redirects here:

DuncDude · 2018-05-15T20:35:19Z

Im also having this problem...

Let's see if this helps with #22.

brennen · 2018-05-16T19:55:32Z

This seems, from googling, like a pretty common class of bugs. I just pushed a branch updating ez_setup.py to a newer release; can anyone who's seeing the issue try reproducing with that branch?

git clone https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Python_SSD1306.git
cd Adafruit_Python_SSD1306
git checkout update_ez_install
sudo python setup.py install

DuncDude · 2018-05-16T22:20:17Z

At work and my pi is not Port forwarded right now, but ran it on my other Linux box, seems to install fine. Will run on pi when home later though, and update

brennen · 2018-05-16T22:22:02Z

Thanks; much appreciated.

There's probably more that needs done in terms of cleanup here, but fingers crossed this'll solve it for the moment.

DuncDude · 2018-05-17T05:19:42Z

Home and Deleted former directory, re-cloned, but still errors...

brennen · 2018-05-17T14:55:25Z

Awright, thanks for the testing. I will dig in deeper. Looks like we're seeing similar breakage at adafruit/Adafruit_Python_DHT#91

brennen · 2018-05-17T16:27:45Z

I just pushed another change here. Per commentary on some other repos and the setuptools docs, let's try this without ez_setup.py involved at all:

sudo python -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel
git clone https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Python_SSD1306.git
cd Adafruit_Python_SSD1306
git checkout update_ez_install
sudo python setup.py install

brennen · 2018-05-17T17:29:24Z

Still curious if that works, but looking at it, I think we're gonna move our install instructions generally to just use pip for the whole deal.

DuncDude · 2018-05-17T19:50:28Z

Alright I burned a fresh copy of Jessie just in case, updated, updated,python, installed pip, installed github, cloned the repository, did the git checkout. Now errors are as follows:

pi@raspberrypi:~/Adafruit_Python_SSD1306 $ sudo python -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel
/usr/bin/python: No module named pip

and

pi@raspberrypi:~/Adafruit_Python_SSD1306 $ sudo python setup.py install
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 1, in <module>
    from setuptools import setup, find_packages
ImportError: No module named setuptools

maybe its directed to the wrong location for pip?

brennen · 2018-05-21T18:26:22Z

@DuncDude maybe. Does sudo pip install setuptools get you anywhere? I also just noticed that you're running Jessie rather than Stretch, which is likely to be a complicating factor...

danjal · 2018-05-24T17:09:07Z

I get the exact same error as described in the beginning of the issue.
I use Raspbian Stretch Lite (2018-04-18).

It worked on Raspbian Stretch Lite (2017-09-07).

GIJ0E · 2018-07-18T02:44:20Z

I was trying to install the Adafruit PCA9685 and ran across the same problem in this thread about the bad zip file.
Here's what I did to get things going...
When I looked at the setuptools-3.5.1.zip that it downloaded automatically, the zip file had the '301 moved permanently' HTML as mentioned above by braydenm303. Apparently it didn't redirect as brennon's did above.
So, to get the real zip file, I deleted the bad zip file and manually downloaded the zip file using
wget https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/s/setuptools/setuptools-3.5.1.zip
After it was complete, I re-ran the python install command and it worked.

This was in Raspbian Stretch Lite (2017-11-29).
Hope this helps!!

bill2009 · 2018-09-30T14:00:57Z

@GIJ0E : This worked for me. recommend simplifying the install and move this to the top of the thread.

boeremak · 2018-11-07T17:50:31Z

@GIJ0E That was it, thanks man. Seems like the installer script does not know how to deal with redirects.

meeki007 · 2018-11-14T20:05:37Z

@GIJ0E : Thanks for the fix. I also had to use your method

ladyada · 2019-09-27T17:50:43Z

hiya, this library is being deprecated - we have a similar library that works with Python3 and modern linux computers. please check out this guide for more info
