Installing ansible (setuptools woes)

Archives Ansible Project

Hello!

I have successfully installed ansible, but it unearthed an ugly question regarding setuptools and distutils. I have both installed, but I still get the following error:

/usr/lib/python2.7/distutils/dist.py:267: UserWarning: Unknown distribution option: ‘install_requires’
warnings.warn(msg)

Looking at setup.py, it uses distutils only (no imports from setuptools), but distutils doesn’t support install_requires ( http://docs.python.org/distutils/apiref.html#distutils.core.setup ).

I did not want to file a bug on Github just yet, because it could be some problem in my setup. (I’m using ArchLinux, but tried it on a Debian Squeeze too, with similar results.)

So, is this a bug? If not, can someone give some user support? :slight_smile:

Thanks,
Pas

No idea what is going on here with packaging on 2.7.

If someone knows how to fix it, please have at.

Hasn’t been reported yet, so I would expect it’s ok on newer Fedora and Ubuntu though. (?)
