安装python-mysql包时出现问题

Question

I've got an Ubuntu 12.04 x64 Server edition VM that I'm running python2.7 on and trying to install the MySQLdb package via the command (I've already got easy_install installed and working):

$ sudo easy_install MySQL-python

but I get the following traceback error when easy_install tries to compile:

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/local/bin/easy_install", line 9, in <module>
      load_entry_point('distribute', 'console_scripts', 'easy_install')()
   File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/setuptools-1.1-py2.7.egg/pkg_resources.py", line 357, in load_entry_point
      return get_distribution(dist).load_entry_point(group, name)
   File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/setuptools-1.1-py2.7.egg/pkg_resources.py", line 2393, in load_entry_point
      raise ImportError("Entry point %r not found" % ((group,name),))
ImportError: Entry point ('console_scripts', 'easy_install') not found

My /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages shows the following packages installed:

• distribute-0.7.3-py2.7.egg
• easy-install.pth
• pyinotify-0.9.4-py2.7.egg
• setuptools-1.1-py2.7.egg
• setuptools.pth

I'm not really sure where to go from here, or why I'm even getting this error. I also wasn't sure if this question would be better suited for ServerFault; but, since I ran into this issue while working on some code, I thought maybe some other coders had ran into it before too...(seemed logical at the time)

Answer 1

You seem to have installed distribute and setuptools , your easy_install script tries to load the entry point from distribute , but setuptools is found first.

You should remove distribute , as it has been merged back into setuptools and is now obsolete. Probably you'll need to reinstall setuptools after that to get everyting working again.

Answer 2

try the following:

curl -O http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py
sudo python distribute_setup.py

then run sudo easy_install MySQL-python again.
