pythonpackage working in easybuild 1.16.2 but not working in easybuild 2.0.0

[pescobar]

This is the build log using EasyBuild 2.0.0 which fails in the install_step:

An this is the build log for the same easyconfig using EasyBuild 1.16.2 which works fine:

@pescobar: can you share the output of find /soft/apps/EasyBuild/2.0.0/lib/python2.7/site-packages -type d with us?

I have no idea why this is failing like that...

Here you have

easyconfig used at https://gist.github.com/anonymous/a01485310527ed718639, Python easyconfig required for it at https://gist.github.com/e6b19981efef577b1d63

@pescobar: I just checked, I can't reproduce this problem on SL6, the installation of StarCluster is working fine for me...

This seems to suggest it's related to the version of setuptools being used: gotcha/ipdb#60 .

That may explain it, because I see that eb is using your system setuptools, rather than the one provided in the Python module you're using:

/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/setuptools/command/install.py

Can you figure out which version of setuptools that is? We'll need to figure out why that one 'wins' over the one provided by the Python module.

Can you also share the contents of $EBROOTPYTHON/lib/python2.7/site-packages/easy-install.pth ?

This looks related to easybuilders/easybuild-framework#1409?

[boegel]

Most likely fixed by easybuilders/easybuild-framework#1569 and #813.

@pescobar: please check if you're still seeing this problem with EasyBuild v2.6.0 (will be available soon)

I'm fairly certain it will be resolved, so I'll go ahead and close this until further notice.
