No module named pkg_resources

Question

I\'m deploying a Django app to a dev server and am hitting this error when I run pip install -r requirements.txt:

Traceback (most recent call la         


        

Answer 1

I fixed the error with virtualenv by doing this:

Copied pkg_resources.py from

/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/setuptools

to

/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/

This may be a cheap workaround, but it worked for me.

.

If setup tools doesn't exist, you can try installing system-site-packages by typing virtualenv --system-site-packages /DESTINATION DIRECTORY, changing the last part to be the directory you want to install to. pkg_rousources.py will be under that directory in lib/python2.7/site-packages
