version.txt/no vcs could be detected on tarball install

[NDevox]

I'm wondering if this is related to #244.

I'm trying to install the latest version - 2.5.1 on an offline server so have to use a tarball install.

On running python setup.py install I get the following:

vcversioner: no VCS could be detected in u'/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/jsonschema-2.5.1' and u'/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/jsonschema-2.5.1/version.txt' isn't present.
vcversioner: are you installing from a github tarball?

Any idea why this happens?

Can you try with pip install . instead?

Also, which tarball are you using? Does it contain a version.txt?

[NDevox]

Don't have pip isntalled but will get it on so I can do this then will let you know.

I probably got the one linked off pypi (forgot now). it's 2.5.1 and there is no version.txt

[NDevox]

Ok, progress, but still errors.

I now have:

root@elk:/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/jsonschema-2.5.1# pip install .

dist-packages is a pretty strange place to install out of -- did you
download the tarball into there?

The tarball on PyPI also definitely has a version.txt:

⊙  curl -s '
https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/j/jsonschema/jsonschema-2.5.1.tar.gz#md5=374e848fdb69a3ce8b7e778b47c30640'
| tar tzf - | grep version.txt
            julian@yoga
jsonschema-2.5.1/version.txt

Please double check where you got your tarball from.

Odd. I don't know what happened there then.

dist-packages was a mistake on my part, don't think I read the folders properly when moving everything around.

Using the tarball you linked I installed it no problem.

[Julian]

Awesome, glad it worked for you, cheers.

Apaprently for ubuntu (the distro being used) dist-packages is more or less the right place:

worth noting I didn't use pip. I used the setup.py instead.

[Julian]

That's where packages get installed to, but not generally a place you'd
run pip install out of.
