Reloader fails on setuptools script installed as an egg

[pokoli]

We use werkzeug as router component of trytond. Everything worked on previous versions but since 0.15 (concretly after #1416 was merged), running the server from an package script and activating the reloader causes the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

The issue is present on 0.15.x but not on 0.14.x
So we need a backport for it.

Could you be more specific about what you mean by "a package script"? I'm fine with the fix, but I want to understand under what circumstances __main__ does not have a __package__ attribute. For example, the flask command is an entry point, and it does not seem to have this issue.

@davidism I'm reproducing the issue when using trytond declared as script on setup.py

We have a package that depends on trytond, and the issue is reproducible by installing this package in editable mode (python setup.py develop or pip -e . ) on a virtualenv. I'm using python3.7

Here are my steps to reproduce it:

mkvirtualenv test 
hg clone https://hg.tryton.org/modules/stock -b 5.2
cd stock
python setup.py develop
trytond --dev

Please note that the --dev flag is required in order to activate the reloader, so the issue is not pressent without this flag.

Let me know if this is enought or you need some additional information.

This only occurs when you do python setup.py develop, not pip install -e ., because develop uses setuptools to do the install, and that results in eggs being installed. On the other hand, pip always installs packages unzipped.

I think setuptools maintainers are trying to move away from setuptools being the thing that manages the environment, in favor of pip, so you'll probably have a better compatibility experience in general by using pip install -e . going forward. That said, eggs should still be supported for now, so I'll merge the fix.
