Package: python-json Version: 3.4-1 Severity: normal Installing python-json causes the directory /var/lib/python-support/python2.4/json_py-3.4-py2.3.egg-info to be created. Note the mismatch between python versions in the containing directory, and the egg-info name.
This creates issues for the use of json-py under Python 2.4. Whilst pkg_resources.require() tolerates this, and still finds the json-py egg, setuptools' easy_install does *not* find it, because it performs filtering based on Python version declared in egg filenames. The elementtree, kid, and python-cherrypy packages rename the egg-info directory to remove the -py2.X tag, avoiding this problem. -- System Information: ii python-support 0.2.2 automated rebuilding support for p -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
