[Python-projects] Pylint Installation

[Tom Crawley]

Hi,

Is the correct email address for Pylint related issues ?

I cannot get pylint to work.

I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/pylint", line 5, in <module>
    pkg_resources.run_script('pylint==0.15.2', 'pylint')

I have astng-0.17.4 and logilab-common-0.37.1 installed as libraries.

Pylint is a great tool but it is extremely frustrating to use because of installation problems etc.

I sent an email discussing the use of namespace package etc but this seems to have been ignored.

The line:

__import__('pkg_resources').declare_namespace(__name__)

must be added to the setup.py files for the logilab package __init__.py in astng and commons distributions. 

Does anyone have any idea what is causing this problem ?

Thanks

Tom
