#71015 — Common issue but unable to find common solution (ez_setup.py on PC)

Hello,

By way of google I realize I am having what appears to be a pretty common issue install ez_setup.py on a PC (Windows XP, Python27). 

I receive an error message that looks like the following:

 Something went wrong during the installation.
 See the error message above.

 C:\Python27>python ez_setup.py 


Is there a common solution for this issue?

Thank you very much.

   You can run into this when attempting to upgrade an existing 
setuptools installation packaged as a zipped egg (due to some old 
zipimporter caches not getting cleaned up correctly).


> Is there a common solution for this issue?

   It has already been reported and a patch has been prepared. See the 
following:

   https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/issue/168
   https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/pull-request/48

   But the patch is still waiting on the maintainer to apply it.


   Hope this helps.

   Best regards,
     Jurko Gospodnetić

So, is the answer:

1 - Until the patch is applied there is no answer

or 

2 - I can go in and manually modify the code, and have the ez setup work?

   Hi Jason,

   I see the patch has just been applied to the setuptools development 
repo, so the bug will be fixed in the next setuptools release, which 
seems imminent, judging from the latest setuptools commits. Related 
commits (see them at https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/commits/all) 
are on a branch containing the c95540cfeaec64251e78add403513a4f30700319 
commit from 2014-04-15.

   But, if you need to fix your problem sooner, you can always do one of 
the following:

   1. Not run ez_setup.py if setuptools is already installed and instead 
just run 'easy_install -U setuptools' to perform the upgrade. (I think 
that avoids the problem at hand, but I don't recall all the details so I 
could be mistaken.)
   2. Manually remove setuptools before running ez_setup.py (either by 
removing the setuptools egg from your site-packages folder or perhaps by 
running 'pip uninstall setuptools').
   3. Checkout the development version of setuptools and install from 
there or prepare your own private setuptools package based on the 
current development tip.

   So you should be able to get your scenario to work, whatever it is.

   Hope this helps.

   Best regards,
     Jurko Gospodnetić

P.S.
   I guess you're using google groups. I really hate the double spacing 
that leaves in your quotes and thus makes me scroll a lot and waste a 
lot of time trying to parse your message. Please try to use a different 
newsgroup client, e.g. Thunderbird. Many thanks.
