sdist upload to PyPI fails about vsc-install HOT 13 CLOSED

I'm seeing this both on my laptop and on the HPC-UGent login nodes...

from vsc-install.

relevant (but doesn't help in terms of pinpointing the problem, it seems): https://bitbucket.org/tarek/distribute/issues/346/upload-fails-without-server-login-but

from vsc-install.

work as expected on both pypi and testpypi, but you changed ownership to hpcugent, right?

from vsc-install.

hmm, doesn't appear on pypi page

from vsc-install.

ah no, patience is a virtue it seems....https://pypi.python.org/pypi/vsc-install/0.9.12

from vsc-install.

I didn't change ownership, I also gave hpcugent right to push to PyPI, but yeah, may be related, thanks for the reminder...

from vsc-install.

@stdweird: I'm running into the same issues now with vsc-base when using the hpcugent credentials...

Can you specify what you run exactly, and what's in your .pypirc (if anything)?

from vsc-install.

i have a very recent setuptools in my environment, and i see that's not specified in the requires

[stdweird@localhost vsc-install (master)]$ python -c 'import distutils;print distutils.__file__;import setuptools;print setuptools.__file__'
/usr/lib64/python2.7/distutils/__init__.pyc
/home/stdweird/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/setuptools-18.3.2-py2.7.egg/setuptools/__init__.pyc

from vsc-install.

Mine is definitely older, but I don't see how it can be broken all of a sudden, it was working fine since ever... :-/

So, something in vsc-install is somehow not compatible with older setuptools versions?

$ python -c 'import distutils;print distutils.__file__;import setuptools;print setuptools.__file__; print setuptools.version.__version__' 
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/distutils/__init__.pyc
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/setuptools/__init__.pyc
1.1.6

from vsc-install.

well, then we should bump the requires to something more recent or fix the incompatibility.

from vsc-install.

I'd rather do the latter, but then we need to figure out what's incompatible exactly... I'll try and figure that out.

from vsc-install.

uploading does work with setuptools v2.0, so I suggest we specify that as minimal required version (released Dec'13): #31

tested with https://testpypi.python.org/pypi/vsc-install/0.9.20

from vsc-install.

no longer relevant, closing...

from vsc-install.
