Python 2.6 pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound error

[Thomas Gautier]

Hi,

I'm having a problem with macports on SnowLeopard regarding python 2.6 ports. For several of them like ipython, virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper I'm getting a "pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: <package>" error.

Maybe I've done something wrong with my python 2.6 install but I've just used sudo port install python26 and then sudo python_select to use macports' python2.6 and not Apple's.

I don't get the error since other python packages like py26-pil and py26-psycopg2 are working correctly.

Another thing I don't get is why when I'm using easy_install packages are being installed in the "old" Apple's site-packahe (/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages) and not macports' one.

Thanks for your help.
