on attempting a fresh install of Socorro, I've discovered that Thrift 0.8.0 has been superseded by Thrift 0.9.0. the 0.8.0 version is no longer available in pypi. Our installation is hard coded for 0.8.0, we need to fix this _and_ make sure that 0.9.0 works with Socorro.

I am not opposed to upgrading at all, but are you sure 0.8.0 is no longer available? I see it on http://pypi.python.org/pypi/thrift, and also Jenkins should be failing

On reexamining the errors with a fresh install of Lucid, I see that the install fails to find the initial 0.8.0 URL: Could not fetch URL http://pypi.python.org/simple/thrift/0.8.0: HTTP Error 404: Not Found (thrift/0.8.0) Will skip URL http://pypi.python.org/simple/thrift/0.8.0 when looking for download links for thrift==0.8.0 (from -r requireme nts/prod.txt (line 10)) In a valiant effort, it searches and finds a 0.9.0 and other 0.8.0 entries. On trying one of the 0.8.0 entries it fails the MD5 test: Analyzing links from page http://pypi.python.org/simple/thrift/ Found link
