[Python-modules-team] Bug#574632: Missing dependency on python-markdown

[Enrico Zini]

Package: python-turbogears2
Version: 2.0.3-1
Severity: normal

Hello,

in a turbogears2 project:

$ python setup.py --help-commands
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 48, in <module>
    """,
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/distutils/core.py", line 137, in setup
    ok = dist.parse_command_line()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/setuptools/dist.py", line 232, in parse_command_line
    result = _Distribution.parse_command_line(self)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/distutils/dist.py", line 455, in parse_command_line
    if self.handle_display_options(option_order):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/distutils/dist.py", line 680, in handle_display_options
    self.print_commands()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/setuptools/dist.py", line 369, in print_commands
    cmdclass = ep.load(False) # don't require extras, we're not running

    from turbogears import (controllers, view, database, validators, command,
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.5/turbogears/widgets/__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
    from turbogears.widgets.base import *
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.5/turbogears/widgets/base.py", line 5, in <module>
    from turbogears import view, startup, config

    pkg_resources.require("TurboGears")
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 648, in require
    needed = self.resolve(parse_requirements(requirements))
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 546, in resolve
    raise DistributionNotFound(req)
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: Markdown>=2.0.1

It looks like TurboGears depends on Markdown. Why would it do that, it's
beyond me, but then again, I better not get started on the topic of
python dependencies.

Installing python-markdown, python setup.py --help-commands works again.


Ciao,

Enrico
