  1. POWhy does PIP install of python-couchdb experimental branch from SVN fail?
    text
    copied!<p>I'm setting up a Fabric/virtualenv/pip automated deployment for a project and I need to install the latest experimental branch of python-couchdb. Naturally, I stick it in my pip requirements file, like so:</p> <pre><code>-e svn+http://couchdb-python.googlecode.com/svn/branches/experimental/httplib@195#egg=CouchDB-dev_r195 </code></pre> <p>However, when I run my deployment I receive the following error and traceback:</p> <pre><code>[192.168.1.200] out: Obtaining CouchDB from svn+http://couchdb-python.googlecode.com/svn/branches/experimental/httplib/#egg=CouchDB (from -r requirements.txt (line 1)) [192.168.1.200] out: Checking out http://couchdb-python.googlecode.com/svn/branches/experimental/httplib/ to ./src/couchdb [192.168.1.200] out: Error [Errno 2] No such file or directory while executing command svn checkout -q http://couchdb-python.googlecode.com/svn/branches/experimental/httplib/ /home/sk/votersdaily/src/couchdb [192.168.1.200] out: Exception: [192.168.1.200] out: Traceback (most recent call last): [192.168.1.200] out: File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/pip-0.6.1-py2.6.egg/pip.py", line 482, in main [192.168.1.200] out: self.run(options, args) [192.168.1.200] out: File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/pip-0.6.1-py2.6.egg/pip.py", line 675, in run [192.168.1.200] out: requirement_set.install_files(finder, force_root_egg_info=self.bundle) [192.168.1.200] out: File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/pip-0.6.1-py2.6.egg/pip.py", line 2409, in install_files [192.168.1.200] out: req_to_install.update_editable(not self.is_download) [192.168.1.200] out: File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/pip-0.6.1-py2.6.egg/pip.py", line 1970, in update_editable [192.168.1.200] out: vcs_backend.obtain(self.source_dir) [192.168.1.200] out: File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/pip-0.6.1-py2.6.egg/pip.py", line 3420, in obtain [192.168.1.200] out: ['svn', 'checkout', '-q'] + rev_options + [url, dest]) [192.168.1.200] out: File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/pip-0.6.1-py2.6.egg/pip.py", line 4320, in call_subprocess [192.168.1.200] out: cwd=cwd, env=env) [192.168.1.200] out: File "/usr/lib/python2.6/subprocess.py", line 621, in __init__ [192.168.1.200] out: errread, errwrite) [192.168.1.200] out: File "/usr/lib/python2.6/subprocess.py", line 1126, in _execute_child [192.168.1.200] out: raise child_exception [192.168.1.200] out: OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory </code></pre> <p>Here is what I know:</p> <ul> <li>The error relates to it not finding setup.py, as the files are never downloaded. It seems to be refusing to create the path /home/sk/votersdaily/src/couchdb, but for other packages it has always created this path as needed.</li> <li>I can run as both root and as a local user and it fails the same.</li> <li>If I create the directory manually then it pitches a prompt telling me the directory is not currently an SVN repo and asking if I would like to overwrite it. If I wipe it out it still doesn't checkout the repo.</li> <li>I have reinstalled pip and recreated the virtualenv and the bug is reproduced.</li> <li>I can execute this pip install on my local workstation (in virtualenv) successfully.</li> </ul> <p>Suggestions? I know this must be some sort of library or permission conflict, but I can't seem top pin it down,</p> <p>Thanks.</p>
