Steps to Reproduce

1. do a fresh install with debian 10
2. follow the manual at https://docs.pretalx.org/en/latest/administrator/installation.html
3. get to the step: sudo -u pretalx pip3 install --user -U pretalx[redis]
4. crash

Context

googling after this issue brought me to this:
ilius/pyglossary#77

so is it possible that a similar issue is here?

No, this is due to the change made in 39ea6a4, in response to #746. Apparently I misunderstood how to do this with setuptools.

[devz3r0]

is it possible, that in the redis version the file is missing?

[rixx]

The workaround is to install pretalx via git, I'll release a bugfix release in a couple of days.

pip3 install --user -U "git+git://github.com/pretalx/pretalx.git@v1.2.0#egg=pretalx&subdirectory=src"

Hi,

I tried the worksount out and got:

 sudo -u pretalx pip3 install --user -U "git+git://github.com/pretalx/pretalx.git@v1.2.0#egg=pretalx&subdirectory=src"

Collecting pretalx from git+git://github.com/pretalx/pretalx.git@v1.2.0#egg=pretalx&subdirectory=src
  Cloning git://github.com/pretalx/pretalx.git (to revision v1.2.0) to /tmp/pip-install-5jskn86f/pretalx
  Did not find branch or tag 'v1.2.0', assuming revision or ref.
error: Pfadspezifikation 'v1.2.0' stimmt mit keinen git-bekannten Dateien überein.
Command "git checkout -q v1.2.0" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-install-5jskn86f/pretalx

is there something else to adjust?

[rixx]

Sorry, I meant v1.1.0 of course, since 1.2.0 is not out yet.

[rixx]

I just released v1.1.1 which should fix this issue.
