Version "undefined" after install via PIP

[heikoheiko]

After an install with pip install hydrachain on a fresh env on Linux hostname 3.13.0-32-generic #57-Ubuntu

(newer)heiko@TTVM148:~$ hydrachain 
Usage: hydrachain [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

  Welcome to HydraChain/vundefined/linux2/py2.7.6

Expected: Version number reported

Experienced: 'undefined' was reported

(newer)heiko@TTVM148:~$ pip show hydrachain

---
Metadata-Version: 2.0
Name: hydrachain
Version: 0.3.0

[konradkonrad]

Could not reproduce. Installing in clean venv results in HydraChain/v0.3.0/linux2/py2.7.10 for me.

Please report:

which hydrachain
python -c "import hydrachain; print hydrachain.__file__"

My assumption: your pypi/pip install is shadowed by a local installation..?

[ulope]

Can't reproduce it either.

The only way I can think of this could happen is if the code is run from a source tarball (not a git checkout) without running pip install -e . first.

I'm observing the same problem after upgrading hydrachain:

@schmir: Stange. I just recreated your example in a clean virtualenv and don't get that problem.

Could you run the following code in the same virtualenv:

from pkg_resources import get_entry_info, get_distribution
from pprint import pprint
import hydrachain

print(hydrachain.__file__)
print(get_entry_info('hydrachain==0.3.0', 'console_scripts', 'hydrachain'))
pprint(get_distribution('hydrachain==0.3.0').__dict__)

[schmir]

/home/ralf/local/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/hydrachain/__init__.pyc
hydrachain = hydrachain.app:app
{'_ep_map': {'console_scripts': {'hydrachain': EntryPoint.parse('hydrachain = hydrachain.app:app')}},
 '_key': 'hydrachain',
 '_provider': <pkg_resources.PathMetadata instance at 0x7fef1ddff560>,
 '_version': '0.3.0',
 'location': '/home/ralf/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages',
 'platform': None,
 'precedence': -1,
 'project_name': 'hydrachain',
 'py_version': None}

(Note the duplicate local/local in the first path)

I have a directory ~/local/local, which looks like:

% ls -la ~/local/local
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 ralf ralf  40 Feb 11 22:41 ./
drwxr-xr-x 7 ralf ralf 103 Feb 11 22:44 ../

lrwxrwxrwx 1 ralf ralf  20 Feb 11 22:41 lib -> /home/ralf/local/lib/

I'm pretty sure I didn't create that myself (I am not that drunk!).

The check in hydrachain/init.py needs to resolve symlinks.

I've previously used https://pypi.python.org/pypi/hgdistver (which is
now superseeded by setuptools_scm), so that might also be an option
(together with reading the version with pkg_resources like you do in
the above snippet).
