The patch http://bugs.python.org/file10198/setuptools_patch.txt does not fix the problem, which is a simple little coding error in Python.
A simple example of the same problem would be this Python command line session: Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Jul 31 2008, 17:28:52) [GCC 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> print x Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> NameError: name 'x' is not defined >>> The problem described by this bug is that the symbol 'log' is not defined. What needs to be done to define 'log' is these lines need to be put into the sdist.py file somewhere before 'log' is referenced: import logging log = logging.getLogger(__file__) It happens to be the case that Subversion 1.5 working copies *expose* this bug quite noisily, but Subversion 1.5 is not really what the bug is about. It's about a simple little coding error that is trivial to fix. Chances are that setuptools won't behave quite as usefully in the presence of Subversion 1.5 as it would if it understood svn 1.5 working copies when this fix is applied, but it doesn't just croak off with a stack trace either. It prints/logs a warning carries on doing the best it can do. But the whole Subversion 1.5 thing is really a separate issue. -- undefined global name 'log' in command/sdist.py module https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/264171 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
