The newly uploaded Mozmill 1.5.2RC1 has a critical issue. The dependent ManifestDestiny cannot be installed because of package failures. Now that Mozmill Crowd uses the most recent version of the pypi package we broke the extension too. I hate to say that but why does pypi doesn't support beta update channels. :( Installed /Volumes/data/testing/crowd/mozmill-env/lib/python2.6/site-packages/mozmill-1.5.2rc1-py2.6.egg Processing dependencies for mozmill Searching for ManifestDestiny>=0.1 Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/ManifestDestiny/ Reading https://wiki.mozilla.org/Auto-tools/Projects/ManifestDestiny Best match: ManifestDestiny 0.2 Downloading http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/M/ManifestDestiny/ManifestDestiny-0.2.tar.gz#md5=bdc425b32c06ded1e7f88c88c6669ee5 Processing ManifestDestiny-0.2.tar.gz error: Couldn't find a setup script in /var/folders/85/85YEzSCiEiyDDPnVLLhW3k+++TI/-Tmp-/easy_install-AVecht/ManifestDestiny-0.2.tar.gz This absolutely has to block Mozmill 1.5.2 and needs to be fixed as soon as possible.

Actually, it has nothing to do with Mozmill 1.5.2 and is a ManifestDestiny bug. The problem is this: 1. ManifestDestiny needs to be a single file: it is slated to land in build/manifestparser.py in m-c (see 618924) 2. ManifestDestiny needs to be installable as a package: mozmill imports manifestparser (though see bug 629575) and depends on it as a setuptools package. 3. evidently, unbeknownst to me, easy_install depends on that file being called setup.py :( Satisfying these three design constraints is, at best, challenging.

It may be possible to do this by having a dummy setup.py script that calls ``manifestparser.py setup``, something like import subprocess import sys here = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)) subprocess.call([sys.exectuable, os.path.join(here, 'manifestparser.py'), 'setup'] + sys.argv[1:]]) However, I can't test this until I can break pypi again

Also we have made the decision to always depend on fixed versions of other packages. So '>=' went in per accident.

Landed as: https://github.com/mozautomation/mozmill/commit/67605a0ba6b3dc8591a8c342516240a94e54445e No more work can be done here. We have to push mozmill to pypi.

Put a possible fix at http://hg.mozilla.org/automation/ManifestDestiny/rev/57cf81578fce ; Needs to be uploaded to pypi to test in the wild, however. So we're dependent on the rc2 version bump in bug 629107

Tested with the crowd extension and it works perfectly. Marking as verified fixed.

Confirmed that easy_install ManifestDestiny and associated dependencies now work with the current trunk deployed at pypi as 0.2.2: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/ManifestDestiny
