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 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!

Pepe

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

I'm using Python 2.7.2 on Windows

Well, 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.

Yes, 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?

Try deleting requirement of Lamson library in askbot/__init__.py (line 36). This library is needed to be ably to process replies by email and that part uses python-daemon.

@Pepe-Pérez-Oso (btw how can I refer to a user if his username is more than one word?) I have installed Askbot on Windows, it works ok, mails work also. I have aksbot 0.7.42, I don't know if plays any role. Sometimes when I run setup.py install I get this error too, but I continue with the rest steps and it seems to work fine. Of course, my deployed version which will be used as production environment runs on Linux and there I didn't meet any problem.

@Evgeny I deleted Lamson, but I got the same thing. @zaf, how could I continue with the rest of the steps? It stops at this point... (btw I shortened my username ;))

I don't know a lot about Python, I'm pretty new. I just followed the sources I provided you in first comment (its Python for Windows) and didn't meet such daemon problem. Maybe you could follow this too?

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...

Ahh, yes, you have to rebuild the askbot-setup script after that: python setup.py install_scripts that might help.
