When trying to install my pygeogrids package on Windows I get the following error:

This happens when all the dependencies are already installed manually. The same package works without problems in Linux.

Oh, can this be because git is not installed on the target system?

[FlorianWilhelm]

Hi @cpaulik, what exactly did you do to install it? Did you use pip? Please be more precise. If you used python setup.py sdist or python setup.py bdist_wheel the resulting package should have no dependency on PyScaffold at all. That's the idea, you only need PyScaffold (and git) during the development but not when someone wants to use your package. This is why I assume you used python setup.py install to install it?

[cpaulik]

I used pip install pygeogrids which loaded the source distribution from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pygeogrids/0.1.9

I'll check the tar file again since I guess there is something wrong on my side.

[cpaulik]

Ok. I've run python setup.py sdist on my Ubuntu machine on the latest master of pygeogrids. This gave me pygeogrids-0.1.9.post0.dev3+g8f0858b.tar.gz.

Then I ran pip install "H:\pygeogrids-0.1.9.post0.dev3+g8f0858b.tar.gz" on my Windows machine which gave the same error as in the original post.

Do you have any ideas why this could be?.

The setup.py and setup.cfg look like the pyscaffold templates.

This is the conda environment in which I am trying all of this:

@cpaulik You may have found a serious bug in PyScaffold. I could reproduce it and I think I know where the problem is. Give me some more time, I'll fix it asap.

[FlorianWilhelm]

@cpaulik Could you check if you have the same problem with PyScaffold 2.5.5? Maybe you need to remove manually older version of PyScaffold first.

[cpaulik]

Thanks. I can now install the existing package as well as newly generated ones.
