IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'README.rst' when installing from pip

[cl-s]

Hi there,

I seem to be having issues installing the latest version (v1.59) using pip.

The log output is as follows:

$ pip install pympi-ling
Collecting pympi-ling
  Using cached pympi-ling-1.59.tar.gz
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<string>", line 20, in <module>
      File "/tmp/pip-build-pA3iNI/pympi-ling/setup.py", line 13, in <module>
        long_description=open('README.rst').read(),
    IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'README.rst'
    Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:
    Traceback (most recent call last):

      File "<string>", line 20, in <module>

      File "/tmp/pip-build-pA3iNI/pympi-ling/setup.py", line 13, in <module>

        long_description=open('README.rst').read(),

    IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'README.rst'

    ----------------------------------------
    Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-pA3iNI/pympi-ling

This issue doesn't seem to affect the install when doing a manual install from the repository.

However, I notice in the tarball hosted on PyPI the file README.rst is missing from the package's root directory so when setup.py tries to read it in it can't be found.

Replacing that line with long_description='a project without a readme', does nicely... Looks like the pypi tarball is borken!

Sorry accidentally pressed close. For some unknown reason the README.rst didn't appear in the tarball. I will fix this asap

[dopefishh]

Meh, I messed it up, my fancy RST readme is gone from the long description:( This will take some extra time...

[dopefishh]

Okay it seems to work now. pip install pympi-ling==1.59c

[cl-s]

Great thanks @dopefishh! That seems to work for me now too.

How to fix this problem?

[dopefishh]

Aw, that's a pity. That bug slipped through while uploading. You can still
install the package by hand. I will fix this as soon as possible.

Thanks for the feedback, if you have any other questions or feedback please let
me know.

Best,
Mart
