I'm trying to install a python package from the private reportlab pypi server using zc.buildout.
When I install using the instructions provided on their own site, then it installs without problem. http://www.reportlab.com/reportlabplus/installation/
If however I install using zc.buildout, I keep getting Couldn't find distributions for 'rlextra'
. I added their pypi repo to find-links
, so I'm not sure what I'm missing.
My buildout config:
[buildout]
versions = versions
include-site-packages = false
extensions = mr.developer
unzip = true
find-links = https://[user]:[pass]@www.reportlab.com/pypi
parts =
python
django
compass-config
auto-checkout = *
eggs =
...
rlextra
...
... etc.
Edit: I should point out that I did in the end do a manual download of the package, and using it in my buildout as a develop package. Even though this solves the immediate issue, I would still like to know why my original setup is not working.
You are passing in the PyPI main link for the find-links
URL, but find-links
only works with the simple index style pages (which exist per package on PyPI).
For example, the beautifulsoup4
package has a simple index page at https://pypi.python.org/simple/beautifulsoup4/
.
The ReportLab server also has simple pages; add the one for this package to your buildout:
find-links = https://[user]:[pass]@www.reportlab.com/pypi/simple/rlextra/
IIRC you can also add the top-level https://[user]:[pass]@www.reportlab.com/pypi/simple
URL as a find-links, but being more specific saves on the URL round-trips.
