Re: [Fab-user] Problems installing Fabric 0.0.5

[Christian Vest Hansen]

That's... strange. I have made no packaging related changes between
0.0.4 and 0.0.5, with the exception of the version number.

I tried to replicate your problem on my end by first deleting all my
installed versions and then installing 0.0.3, then 0.0.4 and then
0.0.5, but in my hurry I forgot to include the --upgrade parameter
that you used. However, not including that parameter seems to make it
work.

So my best guess is, that it'll probably work if you just run the
command like this:

$ sudo easy_install
http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/F/Fabric/Fabric-0.0.5.tar.gz

I have no idea why upgrading didn't work in your first instance, or
why the macosx build seems to be the "best match" for all possible
platforms (I'de prefer if it only built the source package because
that's all people really need.)

In your download+untar attempt, I *think* you need to cd into the
Fabric-0.0.5 directory before running setup.py ... even though it does
seem to import the right fabric.py file.
