" AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'split' " while installing geopy


I'm trying to install the packages from a requirements file for a django project.

The problem is that while installing geopy I get the error AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'split'.

I'm running within a virtualenv with python 2.7.3.

The exact command is:

sudo pip-python install -r requirements.pip

The problematic line from the requirements file is:

-e svn+http://geopy.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@144#egg=geopy-0.94.1_pre.dev_r144-py2.7-dev_r144

I have setuptools and distribute 0.6.34 (I beleive that setuptools is just an alias for distribute). setuptools_subversion is at version 3.1

I'm running Fedora 17.

The complete error is as follows:

Obtaining geopy from svn+http://geopy.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@144#egg=geopy-0.94.1_pre.dev_r144-py2.7-dev_r144 (from -r requirements.pip (line 50))

It's already been pointed out in the comments that the line "Unrecognized .svn/entries format in..." is just a warning, and not the cause of the exception.


Solution

  • I solved it by commenting the problematic line in the requirements file and adding the following line:

    geopy==0.94.1
