easy-install

I want my setup.py to do some custom actions besides just installing the Python package (like installing an init.d script, creating directories and files, etc.) I know I can customize the distutils/setuptools classes to do my own actions. The problem I am having is that everything works when I cd to the package directory and do "python setup.py install", but my custom classes don't seem to be executed when I do "easy_install mypackage.tar.gz". Here's my setup.py file (create an empty myfoobar.py file in the same dir to test): import setuptools from setuptools.command import install as _install

After installing easy_install and trying to use it to then install a python package it fails.

I used easy_install to install pip, pip to install django, virtualenv, and virtualenvwrapper. I have just returned to it a few weeks later and django does not seem to work anymore, but more concerning is I can't start the process over again as easy_install is returning the following error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/easy_install-2.7", line 10, in <module> load_entry_point('setuptools==0.6c12dev-r88846', 'console_scripts', 'easy_install')() File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.7.egg/pkg_resources.py", line 318, in load_entry_point File "/Library

I installed PIL with easy_install but for some reason when I run a file that uses it, I get: ImportError: No module named PIL Does anyone know why this could be? I think it's also worth mentioning that I installed web.py through easy_install and it's working fine. I have the same problem. To me, it looks like a bug in PIL easy_install process. The library is installed, but you have to leave out PIL from imports (aka import Image works), which is obviously wrong. To solve, don't use easy_install to perform the install. Download the tar package and python setup.py install it. This will work.
