paster templates missing setup_requires

[cjw296]

At least the routesalchemy setup.py_tmpl is missing the following line:

setup_requires='PasteScript',

...which is needed for the "paster_plugins=['pyramid']" to work.

Can you provide a set of commands that fails as the result of this dependency being missing?

[cjw296]

No commands fail, you just get this ugly output when running the buildout:

/usr/local/lib/python2.6/distutils/dist.py:266: UserWarning: Unknown
distribution option: 'paster_plugins'

I suspect this is also why you need to do the following when running paster as installed by buildout:

bin/paster --plugin=pyramid pshell

...rather than the plugin being automatically found.

Still, there are annoyances if this is added:

...so I'm not sure what to recommend.

This output doesn't appear to happen in non-buildout environments, nor is "--plugin=pyramid" required. Could you provide a (minimal) sample buildout file that reproduces the issue?

[cjw296]

Can't see how to attach files to this tracker, so I'll email you the tgz

So far I've had to remove every "setup_requires" I've ever added. I'm closing this for now. This is really a buildout thing.

Don't quite follow, why did you have to remove setup_requires?
