pip wheel bcrypt fails with ValueError: path '/Users/dstufft/projects/bcrypt/bcrypt/crypt_blowfish-1.2/crypt_blowfish.c' cannot be absolute

[pfmoore]

I suspect that this is because the sdist hosted on PyPI includes an egg-info directory with SOURCES.txt containing absolute filenames. Probably as a result of the line

ext_modules = [_ffi.verifier.get_extension()]

in setup.py, which seems to add the absolute paths. Uninstalling cffi and doing setup.py sdist produces a workable sdist.

I'm seeing this issue on Windows 8.1 using Python 2.7.8.

pip install bcrypt with Python 3.4.2 on Windows also gives the same error.

I'm getting the same error on Windows 8.1 with Python 3.4.1.

@dstufft can you weigh in here?

[pauleohare]

Same problem on windows 8.1 with python 3.4.0

Same problem with windows 8, python 2.7.6

@alex, @dstufft, this prevents easy installation of your module. Any chance of fixing this soon?

This should be fixed on master now. We'll do a new release shortly.
