[gentoo-science] [sage-on-gentoo] sage-notebook-0.8.11 can't find setuptools

[Henry Gebhardt]

Hello,

I am trying to install sage, but sage-notebook-0.8.11-r1 failes with the
following message:

  python2.6 setup.py build
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "setup.py", line 6, in <module>
      from setuptools import setup
  ImportError: No module named setuptools

I have setuptools-0.6.15 installed, but only for python2.7 and 3.1 even
after a reinstall of setuptools. How can I install it for python2.6?
Should I file a bug for setuptools?

Thank you,

Henry

Hi Henry,

the problem is that sage-4.6.2 that you are trying to install is
python-2.6 only. If you have python-2.6 on your machine and want
to have stuff compiled for 2.6, 2.7 and 3.1 you have to add the following 
in make.conf:
USE_PYTHON="2.6 2.7 3.1"

Note that we are working on making sage 4.7 python 2.7.

Thanks, that worked.
