Error when building the egg file

[anonymous]

I've doanloaded the source code and unzipped it. After running

python setup.py bdist_egg

I get the following output:

As you can see there is an error in there. I tried to go ahead and put the plugin under the plugins folder, restart but I don't see the plugin in the Admin section. I had UserManagerPlugin before that works, wanted to try this one but cannot even build it.

[Steffen Hoffmann]

(In [10610]) AccountManagerPlugin: Rewrite i18n function to restore Python2.4 compliance, refs #9107.

Ironically this code has been borrowed from Trac for backwards-compatibility with Trac0.11, but Trac trunk dropped Python2.4 support after the Trac0.12 release. My fault, not to notice, but others didn't as well - since [10422].

[Steffen Hoffmann]

I wonder, why this went undiscovered even for a month, since I know of a number of Python2.4 users.

Thanks for reporting this. You made the difference. I'll release this as part of acct_mgr-3.2 and keep this open as a reminder until then. I'd still like to get your feedback, if you can confirm, that it works for you now. I'm already at Python 2.5, won't test any longer with older ones.

BTW, keep your voice a little lower regarding bug rating as long as you do provide that few information: no AcctMgr version, no Trac revision, no Python version (well, I see it from the SyntaxError, anyway). Please give us a little more next time, ok?

[guillaume]

oh yeah sorry about the missing versions, will think about it next time :-)

well otherwise, what do I have to do? I didn't really get it, and I never coded in Python so won't be able to just rewrite the function to fix the bug ... thanks for your help

Thanks.

Oh, most probably you could. Just open acct_mgr/api.py in you downloaded source code, change the line (no. 34) as shown in [10610] and try to build the egg again.

... thanks for your help

You're welcome. There are at least three options for now:

1. Enjoy the changeset (link above) - no, joke - forget this one
2. Check-out current trunk code, if you can cope with some incompatible options (already renamed for acct_mgr-0.4)
3. Wait for acct_mgr-0.3.2 to come out soon with the fix merged back to current stable

Thanks guys it worked! Modified the file, build the egg again, easy_install failed but copying the egg file worked. All good

[Steffen Hoffmann]

Replying to anonymous:

Thanks guys it worked!

Ok, looks like a "GO" to me. :-)

So it's about time to prepare the next maintenance release...

[Steffen Hoffmann]

(In [10618]) AccountManagerPlugin: Publish maintenance release 0.3.2, closes #9051, #9082, #9088, #9091, #9092, #9093, #9095, #9099, #9107, #9108 and #9109.

This is an update for current stable at 0.3.1 with a number of fixes for issues reported within the last weeks.

While they will go into acct_mgr-0.4 too, current code isn't ready for release yet and will introduce a number of backwards-incompatible changes. So don't hurry for acct_mgr-0.4 right now.

Just noticed what I'd call a bug in signatures.py and removed unreasonable dependency on identical absolute path for successful check. Looks like nobody else tried this by now, right? Hey folks!
