Installation fails

RoboMachine installation via pip (within virtualenv) fails due to missing dependencies.

Proposal:
version needs to be moved into seprate module without external dependencies.

[mkorpela]

Nope. Not gona happen. You've fixed the dependency problem while installing but the dependency is still required. It is a bit odd that you added your license text there.

Dependency is required and pip supposed to take care of that. You can test it yourself using virtualenv this way (assuming we're in project root folder):

$ virtualenv ../venv
$ ../venv/bin/pip install ./
$ ../venv/bin/pip freeze
RoboMachine==0.7
argparse==1.2.1
pyparsing==2.0.3
robotframework==2.8.7
wsgiref==0.1.2

I'm sorry about license, I'm not really experienced with that. Should I just copy-past it from other file in the project?

[mkorpela]

ok. So the basic problem is that the version number lives in the main package and this will also import pyparsing and while using it from setup then it fails to import error before even getting to dependency installation. Thanks for the bug report! I just thought that the fix was a bit odd.

Installation fails. What am I doing wrong?

Windows 7 64bit

Pip 7.1.2

pip 7.1.2 from C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\pip-7.1.2-py2.7.egg (python 2.7)

Do I have to install 'pyparsing' manually?

[Tset-Noitamotua]

Yes, I had to install 'pyparsing' myself:

H:\>pip install pyparsing
Collecting pyparsing

Successfully installed pyparsing-2.0.3

@Tset-Noitamotua thanks for the report,

At least on my machine pyparsing dependency gets installed when installing through pip.

I tried with pip 1.7.2

I'll leave this issue open if someone else has similar problems.
But currently I'm unable to reproduce the problem.
