I've found the problem. Sorry to cause a fuss!
A package that I have created provides a copy of argparse that doesn't have a
__version__ attribute. Should Ipython be able to work around this or do I need
to change something in my installation scripts, do you think? This is my
setup.py:
import sys
import imp
from setuptools import setup
# Default list of provided packages.
packlist = [ 'morebasemap', 'morebasemap.scripts','decimaldegrees', 'pyasc',
'appdirs' ]
# Try for argparse and if it's not there provide as package
try:
imp.find_module('argparse', sys.path[1:])
except ImportError:
packlist.append('argparse')
setup( name='morebasemap',
version='0.09',
include_package_data = True,
packages=packlist,
requires=[ 'matplotlib',
'basemap',
'netCDF4' ],
package_dir={ 'morebasemap': 'morebasemap',
'morebasemap.scripts': 'scripts'},
package_data={'morebasemap': ['json/*.json']},
entry_points = { 'console_scripts':
['bathy2xyz = morebasemap.scripts.bathy2xyz:main'] }
)
