Package: python-scrapy Version: 1.0.0-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation? Attempted to follow scrapy tutorial at http://doc.scrapy.org/en/latest/intro/tutorial.html aptitude install scrapy scrapy startproject tutorial Failed with Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/scrapy", line 5, in <module> from pkg_resources import load_entry_point File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 3084, in <module> @_call_aside File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 3070, in _call_aside f(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 3097, in _initialize_master_working_set working_set = WorkingSet._build_master() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 651, in _build_master ws.require(__requires__) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 952, in require needed = self.resolve(parse_requirements(requirements)) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 839, in resolve raise DistributionNotFound(req, requirers) pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'Scrapy==1.0.0' distribution was not found and is required by the application * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? Attempted installing pip prior to package. Failed the same way. Attempted clean install in docker container. Failed the same way. Completely reproducable with the following docker file FROM debian:sid RUN export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive ;\ apt-get update &&\ apt-get -y dist-upgrade &&\ apt-get -y install python-scrapy RUN scrapy startproject tutorial Currently attempting approach of creating docker container with python-pip to build scrapy from source. * What outcome did you expect instead?
