--user option broken? (when using relative path for PYTHONUSERBASE)
Closed this issue · 10 comments
PYTHONUSERBASE=py-env pip install --user Flask fails with:
Exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):

IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'py-env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/Flask-0.10.1-py2.7.egg-info/installed-files.txt'
py-env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ is empty so normally it can't create installed-files.txt when it didn't even create the .egg-info directory yet.
Versions are:
$ pip --version
pip 1.4.1 from /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages (python 2.7)
$ python -c 'import setuptools; print setuptools.__version__'
0.9.8
the relative py-env path for PYTHONUSERBASE is the problem here.
just using python setup.py install --user directly (i.e. what pip does internally), I wasn't able to get it to work either.
not sure that PYTHONUSERBASE supports relative path names.
afaik it did work previously ... but if it's documented to not work, that's ok too
hmm, I'll check some older pips and see.
PEP 370 and/or what distutils does could also be checked.
I cannot reproduce this, it appears that the issue was not a pip issue to begin with and I'm assuming that at some point in the last 3 years, whoever's issue this actually was has solved it for us.
happens still for me
$ PYTHONUSERBASE=py-env pip install --user Flask

What operating system?
ArchLinux … setuptools and pip are installed from package, but should be vanilla (and I don't see anything suspicious in the PKGBUILDs)
