[Python-modules-team] Bug#559072: python-turbokid: turbogears 1.1 doesn't find kid template engine

[Tuukka Tolvanen]

Package: python-turbokid
Version: 1.0.4-6
Severity: important

After some upgrades, looking at an older turbogears project that uses
kid gives me:

      File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.5/genshi/template/loader.py",
line 237, in load
        raise TemplateNotFound(filename, search_path)
    TemplateNotFound: Template
"/home/tt/src/corematic/coreweb/templates/welcome.html" not found

That's to be expected considering the change of default templater from
kid to genshi in tg 1.1 I guess. Adding to my app.cfg

    tg.defaultview = "kid"

gets me to:

      File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.5/turbogears/view/base.py",
line 107, in _choose_engine
        "Template engine %s is not installed" % enginename
    KeyError: 'Template engine kid is not installed'

Poking about in /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.5/turbogears/view/base.py

    for entrypoint in pkg_resources.iter_entry_points(
            "python.templating.engines"):
        print "ENTRYPOINT " + entrypoint.name

shows indeed nothing kid-like is getting listed. After some searches
and rummaging around in the egg-infos,

cd /usr/share/pyshared
mv TurboKid-1.0.4.egg-info tk
mkdir TurboKid-1.0.4.egg-info
cd TurboKid-1.0.4.egg-info
mv ../tk PKG-INFO
cat > entry_points.txt <<EOF
    [python.templating.engines]
    kid = turbokid.kidsupport:KidSupport
EOF

fixes this for me -- apparently the tubokid bits aren't getting
registered quite properly?
