Make a 'system install' of 'isbntools' manually (for sandboxed systems)

[xlcnd]

Some systems like SUSE SLES are sandboxed so that installers like (easy_install or pip) cannot write in user's area (just for system's installs!).

The alternative is to use virtual environments or an user's install!

However, if by any reason you want to make a system install of isbntools try the following procedure:

1. wget https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/i/isbntools/isbntools-4.3.4.tar.gz
2. tar xvfz isbntools-4.3.4.tar.gz
3. cd isbntools-4.3.4
4. replace the content of setup.py with this:

from setuptools import find_packages, setup

setup(
    name='isbntools',
    version='4.3.4',
    author='xlcnd',
    author_email='xlcnd@outlook.com',
    url='https://github.com/xlcnd/isbntools',
    packages=find_packages(exclude=["*.test", "*.test.*", "test.*", "test"]),
    entry_points={
        'console_scripts': ['isbn_conf=isbntools.bin.confc:main',
                            'isbn_doi=isbntools.bin.doi:main',
                            'isbn_doi2tex=isbntools.bin.doi2tex:main',
                            'isbn_EAN13=isbntools.bin.EAN13:main',
                            'isbn_editions=isbntools.bin.editions:main',
                            'isbn_from_words=isbntools.bin.from_words:main',
                            'isbn_goom=isbntools.bin.goom:main',
                            'isbn_info=isbntools.bin.info:main',
                            'isbn_mask=isbntools.bin.mask:main',
                            'isbn_meta=isbntools.bin.meta:main',
                            'isbn_ren=isbntools.bin.ren:main',
                            'to_isbn10=isbntools.bin.to_isbn10:main',
                            'to_isbn13=isbntools.bin.to_isbn13:main',
                            'isbn_validate=isbntools.bin.validate:main',
                            'isbn_stdin_validate=isbntools.bin.validate:do_pipe',
                            'isbntools=isbntools.bin.version:main',
                            'isbn_repl=isbntools.bin.repl:main',
                            'isbn_cover=isbntools.bin.cover:main',
                            'isbn_desc=isbntools.bin.desc:main',
                            ]},
    install_requires=['isbnlib>=3.6.7, <3.7.1'],
    license='LGPL v3',
)

1. python setup.py install (sudo python setup.py install if you got errors!)
2. cd .. && rm -r isbntools-4.3.4
3. mkdir ~/.isbntools

And thats all! On first run, isbntools will try to create sensible default config files.

This is now a problem on Debian as well. Just found this popping upon maintaining my dockerfile - oh, and pip3 itself was complaining about it. Didn't want to touch stuff in /root.

[xlcnd]

The best option is to install it always inside a (python) virtual environment!

[ri0t]

I always do so, but now get an error:
No such file or directory: '/home/riot/.virtualenvs/hfos/isbntools/isbntools.log'

[xlcnd]

I am not able to reproduce the error...

This error happens when you are installing the package or when you are using the app?
