[Python-modules-team] Bug#744741: python-pyside: pip/easy_install do not find PySide if it is installed from repos

[Carlos Pascual]

Package: python-pyside
Version: 1.2.1-4
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

pip and easy_install fail to detect that PySide is already installed 
from the debian repository
If a package depends on PySide, both easy_install and pip try to install 
PySide regardless of it being already installed.

To reproduce:
~~~~~~
$ python -c 'import PySide; print PySide.__version__'
1.2.1
$ pip list | grep -i pyside
$ 
~~~~~~
(I expected the pip list command to output PySide info, but got nothing 
instead)
