missing header.mak when easy_installed on Python 2.6

[ananelson]

It seems header.mak is not being included when ansi2html is installed via easy_install on Python 2.6, which results in:

  File "/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/tw2.core-2.0b4-py2.6.egg/tw2/core/dottedtemplatelookup.py", line 103, in __load
    self.template_cache[template_name] = Template(open(filename).read(),
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'/Users/ana/.python-eggs/ansi2html-0.6.0-py2.6.egg-tmp/ansi2html/templates/header.mak'

When I look in the directory it's trying to search:

$ tree /Users/ana/.python-eggs/ansi2html-0.6.0-py2.6.egg-tmp/ansi2html/
/Users/ana/.python-eggs/ansi2html-0.6.0-py2.6.egg-tmp/ansi2html/
└── templates
    └── full.mak

Installing via pip or from source seems to fix this, and the setup.py and MANIFEST.in files look fine to me, so this is probably more of an easy_install issue, but maybe releasing an egg for 2.6 instead of source would be a simple workaround? Or maybe explicitly listing the template files instead of a wildcard?

Note this was reported to me here:
http://discuss.dexy.it/index.php?p=/discussion/13/ioerror-errno-2-no-such-file-or-directory-...-header.mak

And I have just come across this issue myself on a new machine (OSX 10.6.7) running Python 2.6.1

Ana,
I've uploaded a python 2.6 egg. Can you please let me know if this resolves the issue?

If not, I'll proceed with the MANIFEST.in change.

Many thanks-

Dang, I'm on 64 bit so it's not picking up the egg. Let me see if I can build an egg...

I'm also now getting:

I really have to stop clicking "comment & close"...

[ralphbean]

:)

I just removed the 'linux' build which I uploaded on accident. Any progress?

[ananelson]

Yay! That seems to have worked, will just double check that I wasn't cheating somehow...

[ralphbean]

Just uploaded a 0.6.1 too that hopefully fixes the MANIFEST.in (got frustrated and just did it).

[ananelson]

I got a 0.6.2 source install which had the problem again...

[ralphbean]

One more try with 0.6.3?

I just tested it in a virtualenv with python 2.6 with success.

[ananelson]

the egg seems to be the winner, let me know when/if you'd like me to test again. and thanks! :-)

[ralphbean]

The egg is still the winner after 0.6.3? If we're stuck on this one, I'll jump back to the egg.

Thanks for all your debugging help!

[ananelson]

just trying the 0.6.3....

[ananelson]

ok success with 0.6.3 :-)

[ralphbean]

whew what a mess.

Cheers and thanks again, Ana.
