"python setup.py install" is not working

Problem 1: cannot install inspyred because of missing README.md file.

After manually installing inspyred and removing the need for README.md by editing inspyred's setup.cfg I have this problem:

zipimport.ZipImportError: bad local file header in /home/ilija/anaconda2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pySOT-0.1.18-py2.7.egg

So I gave up, and installed via pip install pySOT

It is recommended to install pySOT using pip unless there is a good reason to install from source. The installation process seems to work fine if inspyred is installed separately before the pySOT installation is started. I would appreciate if you could check whether it is possible to install using the setup.py as follows (it works fine from my virtual environment):

pip install inspyred
python setup.py install

Thank you for pointing out this issue!

I can confirm that it installs without an issue.

Thanks for the awesome framework. Looking forward to using it.

[dme65]

I'm happy that it worked and I'm glad you like pySOT. Thanks again for pointing out the installation issue. The documentation has been updated appropriately.

I cannot solve my issue when installing dragnet package ...
zipimport.ZipImportError: bad local file header in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/dragnet-1.1.0-py2.7-linux-x86_64.egg
Any idea ? Thanks

[dme65]

Please open a new issue since this isn't related to inspyred, which isn't a pySOT dependency anymore.

@gvola looks like corrupted file to me. Try clearing out the zipimport cache and redownloading the file.
