hi all, i just ran into a problem trying to install a python package (SQLObject 0.7b1). and got the following traceback: Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 47, in ? extras_require={ File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/PIL/__init__.py", line 51, in setup File "/usr/lib/python2.3/distutils/core.py", line 149, in setup dist.run_commands() File "/home/robert/src/SQLObject-0.7b1/setuptools-0.5a13-py2.3.egg/setuptools/dist.py", line 417, in run_commands File "/home/robert/src/SQLObject-0.7b1/setuptools-0.5a13-py2.3.egg/setuptools/dist.py", line 426, in install_eggs File "/usr/lib/python2.3/distutils/dist.py", line 927, in run_command cmd_obj.run() File "/home/robert/src/SQLObject-0.7b1/setuptools-0.5a13-py2.3.egg/setuptools/command/bdist_egg.py", line 175, in run TypeError: _mutate_outputs() takes exactly 6 arguments (5 given) it turns out the method _mutate_outputs in /usr/lib/python/distutils/command/install_lib.py has a different signature from the one on other systems. is it possible that SuSE patched this file? regards, robert -- the idea is to keep the green alien landing craft from taking up humans from the ground and changing them into mutants. a mutant is very dangerous to you, because it flies faster than you do and shoots at you.
