#39480: py-suds-jurko @0.4.1.jurko.4: build fails trying to use distribute ------------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: md14-macports@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: reopened Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.3 Resolution: | Keywords: haspatch Port: py-suds-jurko | ------------------------------+-------------------------------- Changes (by md14-macports@…): * status: closed => reopened * resolution: worksforme => Comment: Thank you for your attention to this. As it says in the distribute documentation at http://pythonhosted.org/distribute/, "Distribute is a deprecated fork of the Setuptools project. Since the Setuptools 0.7 release, Setuptools and Distribute have merged and Distribute is no longer being maintained." At one time, py*-setuptools was replaced by py*-distribute. More recently, this was undone, and py*-distribute was replaced by py*-setuptools. The py27-suds-jurko install does not fail for me in the same way, probably because of fixes made to setuptools. I can show py27-suds-jurko still has a problem by telling Little Snitch to deny network access to Python: {{{ $ port installed py27-distribute py27-setuptools The following ports are currently installed: py27-setuptools @1.1.6_0 (active) $ sudo port -vs install py27-suds-jurko ---> Computing dependencies for py27-suds-jurko. ---> Fetching distfiles for py27-suds-jurko ---> Verifying checksums for py27-suds-jurko ---> Checksumming suds-jurko-0.4.1.jurko.4.tar.bz2 ---> Extracting py27-suds-jurko ---> Extracting suds-jurko-0.4.1.jurko.4.tar.bz2 ---> Configuring py27-suds-jurko ---> Building py27-suds-jurko Download error on https://pypi.python.org/simple/distribute/: [Errno 64] Host is down -- Some packages may not be found!

With the patch, the above install works, even though I still have Little Snitch set to deny network access to Python. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/39480#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
