Python-daemon not found
Hi there, I'm trying to install the software using virtualenv, but I get this when I run "askbot-setup" :
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\Francisko\Whatzz\Scripts\askbot-setup-script.py", line 5, in <m
odule>
from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
File "C:\Users\Francisko\Whatzz\lib\site-packages\setuptools-0.6c11-py2.7.egg\
pkg_resources.py", line 2603, in <module>
File "C:\Users\Francisko\Whatzz\lib\site-packages\setuptools-0.6c11-py2.7.egg\
pkg_resources.py", line 666, in require
File "C:\Users\Francisko\Whatzz\lib\site-packages\setuptools-0.6c11-py2.7.egg\
pkg_resources.py", line 565, in resolve
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: python-daemon
Does anyone know something about that? In case I would have to install the library python-daemon, where should I place it?
Thanks!

As @Evgeny said, the installation on Windows can go on by deleting requirement of Lamson library in askbot/__init__.py (line 36) before starting the installation. It didn't worked the first time because I was running askbot-setup directly.
Anyway I'm not sure if this would be the best solution, as some functionalities may be lost on the way...

What version of Python do you use? Are you installing on Windows? Have you used these and these sources?

Pepe ( 2012-05-21 14:34:06 -0500 )editWell, I don't know, maybe someone else could help you. I use Python 2.6 and I didn't meet this problem. Maybe this is related to this problem.
zaf ( 2012-05-21 15:47:56 -0500 )editYes, I'm having the same problem... The library python-daemon seems to be non-compatible to Windows. So, is there any way to install askbot on Windows? Does anyone have done it already?
