Installing python-daemon

Question

I've downloaded the python-daemon package ( https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-daemon/ ) and tried installing it using

python setup.py install

but I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 22, in ?
     main_module = __import__(main_module_name, fromlist=['version'])
TypeError: __import__() takes no keyword arguments

I'm not sure what's causing this. I tried getting around it by just working in same directory as the downloaded module (in which case I can get access to the daemon module), but that led to other problems down the line.

Also, I'm using python 2.4.3, and updating is not an option unfortunately.

Answer 1

sudo pip install python-daemon
