Question about PyPI and 'easy_install'

[makoto kuwata]

Hi,

I have a trouble around PyPI and easy_install.

I have developed OSS (Tenjin) and registered it to PyPI.
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Tenjin/0.6.1

But I can't install it by 'easy_install' command.

$ easy_install Tenjin
Searching for Tenjin
Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/Tenjin/
Reading http://www.kuwata-lab.com/tenjin/
No local packages or download links found for Tenjin
error: Could not find suitable distribution for
Requirement.parse('Tenjin')

This error reports that download link is not found,
but download url is described in the above web page.

Could you help me why the above error happen?
Is it required to set registered name (Tenjin) and
package name (pyTenjin) into same name?

Is it required to set registered name (Tenjin) and
package name (pyTenjin) into same name?

Yes.

How did you upload those files with a different name to that pypi package?

Yes.

Thank you, Richard.
Your answer helps me very much.

I have no magic. I uploaded file via uploader page of PyPI.

Thank you, Vsevolod.
Your patch shows that both project name (Tenjin) and package name
(pyTenjin)
should be the same name.
And, I'm afraid that your patch seems to require user to install
setuptools.
I want Tenjin to be install not only with easy_install but also
without
setuptools.

You should be able to just change the name and not need to use setuptools in
the setup.py
